Mark Hamill, who's known for playing Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars film, recently spoke to BBC about Ford's injury where he mentioned that a hurt ankle will not be stopping the actor.
"I was not on set," Hamill said, regarding when the injury took place. "It was really terrible, but I hear he's doing really well. It will take more than that to stop Harrison Ford."
Hamill also talked about the new actors who have come on board for the seventh part of the epic series.
"These kids- they are not kids- but they are so talented," he said. "They are also diverse. There are people I recognize like Andy Serkis and new people that I've never seen before like Daisy Ridley."
Star Wars: Episode VII is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
