Check out this spread. Star Wars The Force Awakens takes over this issue of Entertainment Weekly with a ton of new images, and quotes especially from Harrison Ford. Also, an unofficially poster for Star Wars 7 has been released that shows Luke! Could be BS, but it still looks beautiful. Take off you pants and enjoy yourself.
Harrison Ford on Han Solo:
No, there’s not an abandoning of the character. He does not aspire to the position of Obi-‘Ben’ Kenobi, nor do I aspire to be some New Age Alec Guinness. His development is consistent with the character, and there are emotional elements which have occasioned his growth. We spend a lot more time [in the movie] on his failure to master basic skills, like accounting. And accounting for his own behavior. There’s a lot of the rogue still left in Solo. Some things don’t change.

Abrams on Leia:
She’s referred to as General. But … there’s a moment in the movie where a character sort of slips and calls her ‘Princess.’…The stakes are pretty high in the story for her, so there’s not much goofing around where Leia’s concerned, but it felt historic to have her, especially with Harrison, back in scenes together. I can only imagine the baggage that they bring to it, I’m just a fan who loves this stuff, but they’ve been living with it — and living in it — since ’77.
