Previous reports about Harrison Ford's recovery (via EW):

"Even more recently, he [Ford] walked the red carpet for The Expendables 3, waving and smiling at photographers while strolling by with a barely perceptible limp. He also made an ALS ice bucket challenge, uploaded six days ago, which shows him in shorts and sneakers, with no evidence of leg atrophy or even a support cast. His rep told EW today that he hasn't started shooting his own scenes yet, but will be soon."

Earlier this year, Harrison Ford fractured his ankle while filming for the seventh installment of the Star Wars saga, which left fans wondering how this will affect filming.

THR confirmed that the 72-year-old actor injured his foot on the door of the Millennium Falcon while filming on set, and predicted that it might take two months for him to recover.

Today, as predicted, Ford is back after two months and on track filming his parts for Episode VII, fully recuperated. The rest of the cast have also returned to Pinewood studios, shooting their parts while 'Han Solo' was recovering, making sure that the movie meets its December 2015 release date without having to rush. Ford seems to have fully recovered, as it appears in his ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

In other Star Wars news, an appearance of a sketch online revealing a redesigned Stormtrooper helmet has surfaced.

Via indierevolver:

"The sequel Stormtrooper helmet feels like a natural continuation from the original, but there are distinct differences. The helmet is not symmetrical - there's only one breather/vent on the bottom near the mouth, on his left side. The black "mouth" area under the white nose plate appears to be a cloth/mesh" 

Star Wars Episode VII will star Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford reprising their characters as Jedi Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, respectively. Also slated to return to her role is Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. The J.J. Abrams directed movie will hit U.S. theaters on December 18, 2015.
