Han Solo is back! Harrison Ford and his "Star Wars: Episode VII" costars all returned to Pinewood Studios outside of London to officially resume filming. Production was briefly halted after Ford injured his left leg on set back in June.
According to reports, the 63-year-old actor was shooting a scene with his character's spaceship, The Millennium Flacon, when a door fell on his leg. Ford was taken to a London hospital where he had to undergo surgery.
While the actor was healing some of his costars continued filming scenes he was not featured in before Disney and LucasFilm decided to take a short break from production. Despite the setback, the studios assured fans that the Dec. 18, 2015 release date still stands.
A source told Entertainment Weekly that the entire cast and crew have already returned to the U.K. to finish working on the movie. It was previously rumored that Ford's injury would result in a six-month production standstill but the actor has made a speedy recovery.
Just one week after having surgery he was spotted with his family wearing a hands-free leg crutch. Most recently, he walked the red carpet (crutch-free) for "The Expendables 3." Ford also posted a video of himself wearing shorts doing the ALS Ice Bucket challenge.
In related news, two photos of Han Solo's reported costumes from "Episode VII" leaked online. Indie Revolver claims a source close to production passed along the photos. In one picture Ford's character is wearing a winter coat with a fur collar and boots and in the other, the he dons a long brown coat, dark pants and a shirt.
"These coats would fit right in on Hoth or Endor. The half dozen designs we've seen may indicate a lot of costume changes for Harrison and his healing foot to go through, though some sketches may never get past that concept stage to end up on screen," Indie Revolver wrote. "It's interesting to note that while Han's outfitted with his classic DL-44 blaster and iconic gunbelt, in all of the sketches his belt now has a second holster on his left hip. It's a mirror image of one of the right. Will Han wield two guns in his old age?"
