Harrison Ford crash-landed his vintage private plane on a golf course Thursday afternoon, leading Star Wars fans to wonder if it will affect the much-anticipated release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens – and if the actor will be okay.

‘Star Wars’ Production Delayed?

Back in June 2014, Ford broke his leg on set at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire when the door of the Millennium Falcon came down unexpectedly. The actor had to undergo surgery and go through a period of rehabilitation before he could return to work. The injury forced director J.J. Abrams to change up the shooting schedule to allow Ford to recover and keep to the timetable.

Ford made his triumphant return to set in late August and wrapped his scenes in early November – which means that Abrams and fans need not worry about delays in Stars Wars‘ production.

When production completely wrapped last year, Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and Bryan Burke sent out a heartfelt thank you note to all of the cast and crew on Episode VII:

“It is a true honor and absolute joy to come to set every day and work alongside each of you. Your professionalism, passion and patience is more deeply appreciated than we could ever express. From the deserts of Abu Dhabi, to the Forest of Dean, to the stages of Pinewood, you have risen to every challenge and been as wonderfully kind as you are brilliantly talented. Our ambition here is large, of course, and it must be: we are here to make a film that entertains millions of people, of all ages, for generations. To create an experience people will cherish watching as much as we will cherish having made it, together. How lovely it would be if you had, in addition to your name on the screen, some actual real tangible proof that you were part of it! Here, then, is that proof. Wear it well, wear it healthily, wear it proudly. But, mostly, thank you.”

Star Wars fans will also be happy to know that Ford will fully recover from the injuries sustained in the plane crash Thursday. Contrary to early reports, the actor was fully conscious and alert and never suffered life-threatening injuries, though he was bleeding heavily from a laceration to the head. His son, L.A. chef Ben Ford, reassured everyone on Twitter that his father was on the mend.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens is slated to hit theaters Dec. 18.
