Nothing is confirmed (
no matter what George Lucas says) but it seems we're getting extremely close to having the old cast of the Original Trilogy return in Star Wars Episode VII. Harrison Ford spoke with WGN TV in Chicago and when asked about returning for Star Wars Episode VII (and about whether the rest of the old cast would return) he said "
I think it's almost true. I'm looking forward to it. It's not in the bag yet, but I think it's going to happen."

So there you have it folks. For anyone still doubting whether Harrison would be back, it seems he is ready and excited to return. Although Harrison has often seemed cold towards Star Wars in the years since Return of the Jedi, he has warmed up a little bit towards the franchise in the past few years (appearing at charity screenings, brief video message to fans at Celebration V, etc.) and he now seems to be in a place where he's ready to return to a galaxy far, far away. This combined with what
George Lucas,
Mark Hamill, and
Carrie Fisher have said over the past few weeks leads us to the conclusion that this is all but a certainty that the big three will return in Episode VII. Now if we could just get that official announcement....
