| Harrison Ford surprised Star Wars fans in a hilarious video |
LEGENDARY actor Harrison Ford shocked a host of dedicated Star Wars buffs ahead of the release of the latest instalment in the film franchise.
The 73-year-old thespian, who will reprise his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, surprised some of the movie's dedicated followers via Skype sessions.
During the reel, Harrison gatecrashed numerous video chat conversations to raise money for a new fundraising campaign dubbed Star Wars: Force For Change, sponsored by Omaze.
The charity's staff members dialled up sci-fi enthusiasts to let them know about the chance to meet the Star Wars cast at the premieres in London and Los Angeles next month.
But they were in for a treat when Harrison dropped in, at one point wearing a vintage Han Solo mask and sending a family into fits of giggles.
