I'm fairly positive he wanted to be killed off to give his character the dramatic weight and closure he felt was missing in Jedi. Of course, throwing in $25 million helps too.  |
I'm saying it's an oversimplification. I do not think he would have done more films. I do know that he was sceptical of them being able to pull off anything as meaningful as what they came up with in the end. I've never even heard that there was serious consideration of Solo staying on as a recurring character (subject to Ford's cooperation).
