Harrison Ford & J.J. Abrams tease 'Star Wars: Episode VII' spoilers & updates as 2015 movie gets closer to casting & filming

There are plenty of websites out there that have already confirmed rumors of Harrison Ford reprising his role of Han Solo in J.J. Abrams' 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII, but the actor himself has refused to give a straight answer on the matter. In fact, his latest response is maybe the most aggravating answer to date!

Check out what Harrison Ford does to dodge yet another Episode VII question while appearing on Today this week:

All of these cryptic answers and question-dodging makes it seem like, if he's actually cast in the film, Ford himself will make the announcement. It might be a good idea to have him announce all of the casting news, actually. At least we know he can avoid spoilers very well!

In other Star Wars: Episode VII news, director J.J. Abrams opened up in a new interview about the Star Wars franchise in general. He explained why he believes the original trilogy of films are so special to this day and might have also dropped a hint or two about what he intends to do with Episode VII.

If you watch the first movie, you don't actually know exactly what the Empire is trying to do," the Star Trek Into Darkness director said. "They're going to rule by fear - but you don't know what their end game is. You don't know what Leia is princess of. You don't yet understand who Jabba the Hutt is, even though there is a reference to him. You don't know that Vader is Luke's father, Leia is his sister - but the possibility is all there. The beauty of that movie was that it was an unfamiliar world, and yet you wanted to see it expand and to see where it went."
