Ford is one of the several original Star Wars stars returning to the J J Abrams-directed sequel.
He's joined by fellow alums Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew.

I love the Star Wars franchise & Harrison is one of my favorite actors but when I woke up this morning & was watching the news the headline was "Star Wars Actor Air Lifted to Hospital after an Accident", I thought he must've been on life support when I heard the news but no he's twisted his ankle :doh:

I hope he is ok. Really do.

But gee... that is what happens when you try to bring back practical effects.

This would have never happened under George Lucas' watch! With all his painted green walls.
