Ford, who came out onstage following the classic theme by John Williams, added: “It’s a special honour for me to be able to congratulate John on his 90th birthday.

After Steven Spielberg stepped down as director in 2020, James Mangold (Logan) is helming the fifth instalment of the franchise. Filming on the project wrapped in February this year.
This is the first instalment not to be directed by Spielberg, who serves as a producer. It’s also the first time that George Lucas hasn’t contributed to the story, although Williams will be back to compose the score.
