The company responsible for producing Star Wars: The Force Awakens is to be prosecuted on four counts of breaching health and safety laws in the workplace later this year, after the movie’s star Harrison Ford broke his leg on set.

Back in June 2014, Ford suffered the leg break and other injuries when he was crushed by a hydraulic metal door that fell over on the set of the Millennium Falcon, and was airlifted to hospital for surgery.

Now, Foodles Production (UK) Ltd., a subsidiary of Disney, has been informed by the Health and Safety Executive that it will face four charges relating to the accident, and will have to appear at High Wycombe Magistrates Court on May 12th 2016.

“HSE has today informed Foodles that it will be prosecuted over four alleged breaches of health and safety law,”a HSE spokesperson said. “The charges relate to an incident during filming of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, which left Harrison Ford with serious injuries after he was hit by a heavy hydraulic door.”

“By law, employers must take reasonable steps to protect workers – this is as true on a film set as a factory floor. We have investigated thoroughly and believe that we have sufficient evidence to bring the case to court.”

In reaction, Foodles said that it was “disappointed” by the HSE’s decision to prosecute. “Cast and crew safety is always a top priority. We provided full co-operation during HSE's investigation into the on-set accident that occurred in June 2014 and are disappointed in HSE's decision.”

Upon release in December 2015, The Force Awakens became the highest grossing movie in UK box office history, taking in excess of $2 billion around the world already. Filming for the eighth episode, directed by Rian Johnson, is already underway at Pinewood, with an anticipated release date of December 2017.
