Harrison Ford promises that we won’t be disappointed by Star Wars: The Force Awakens

October 31, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night – in a Halloween hotdog costume, no less – Harrison Ford spoke briefly about his return as Han Solo in December’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, offering up some praise for director J.J. Abrams and his new young co-stars, as well as promising fans we’ll not be disappointed by Disney’s first foray to the galaxy far, far away.

Asked why Luke Skywalker was absent on the poster, Ford replied: “There wasn’t room… No. There’s a very good reason, but I can’t tell you. I can tell you this – it’s really, really good. Trust me, it’s really good. The new cast – Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac – are phenomenal. J.J. Abrams has made an incredible movie. You will not be disappointed, at all. I promise you.”
