Behind-the-scenes Star Wars footage screens at Comic-Con

Star Wars actor Harrison Ford has made his first public appearance since crashing a vintage plane he was piloting in March.

The 72-year-old bounded onto the stage of the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. He was accompanied by fellow Star Wars actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.

The surprise appearance by the trio sent the crowd of thousands into hysterics.

Fans were given a glimpse of some behind-the-scenes footage of the new film, The Force Awakens, which will hit cinemas this Christmas.
