A bearded Mark Hamill prepares for Star Wars: Episode VII to resume shooting...
All has been quiet on the Star Wars: Episode VII front for the past week or two, as the production has been in temporary shutdown to allow Harrison Ford to recover from his damaged ankle. Shooting is picking up shortly.
Mark Hamill is back at Pinewood Studios too, as you can see in this picture taken from his son, Nathan. We're always admirers of fine facial hair, and it does look as if Luke Skywalker will have some welcome foliage this time around. This sort of thing should be encouraged.
Star Wars: Episode VII will be released on Dec. 18, and is directed by JJ Abrams. We suspect we might just get the first teaser trailer for it this side of Christmas, too.
