Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi *spoilers from Post 2857*

Sort of old news..the sets are built up there already

david75

the one down in kerry looks awesome

david75

Lads. They're building the Falcon up in Donegal. My pal lives across the water from the set. It's closed off for miles around. Only residents have passes to get in.

The ****in falcon is two hours drive away. Verge of tears.

almost certainly the falcon...rear underside engine blocks are the same shape.

We now KNOW that Kylo turns up on Ach-to. Hamill arrived in Belfast short while ago with Adam driver and Daisy Ridley and Carrie Fisher apparently but no pics of her.

Ridley and Driver are all embarrassed and Hamill is literally the embarrassing uncle. Cool pics

Interesting... this might suggest the plot leak about

Kylo having a chat with Rey and Luke

could have some substance to it... Then again, it could all be a ruse by the director. Sending extra cast members to a location to throw off the scent!

The gang arriving at Belfast airport...

Mind. Blown.

Wow, that's uncanny.

Calls already being made to have him star in films about Lukes journeys post Jedi. I'd definitely go see those films.

Just an FYI , keep an eye on the status of the site. There was some damage done in the (not so) recent storms and there were reports a week or so ago that visitors to the site would not be permitted until the repairs were complete. That's due to be done by the 14th of May... but keep an eye that it's not delayed.

Thanks again for this heads up. Just heard on the radio only yesterday that it's been reopened to visitors so we're going on Friday weather permitting. Hoping and wishing the weathers like this when I get there. Glorious out.

I live 10 miles away, and kinda felt sorry for anyone who travelled any distance to get to the filming at Malin Head, as there was zero chance of getting anywhere near the location. Zero chance.

Security extra tight.

See tonight that Mark Hamill made the effort to get to the local pub when he was leaving, decent of him, seems a good sport.

david75

Seems they've travelled to Cork for ten days filming. Weird that. Haven't seen or heard of any sets being made down there?

They've been on Brow Head since the start of March, laying a boardwalk to the edge etc. Have had security there since St Patricks weekend, restricting access. Not sure if they're only filming til this Wednesday or is it next Wednesday?

david75

Reports saying they're here for ten days. Glad I booked my B&b for Skellig months ago. Everything is booked out all around there now with cast and crew apparently.

That was an April fools joke just talking to the guy who wrote the article. That went global!!

See Daisy got out to a local pub in Culdaff too before she left, some nice photos.

It's great that the stars make an effort to do this, even if it only is for a couple of minutes. It's nothing of their time but it means so much for local people and the area.

Well done.

Sad Professor

I think Tourism Ireland probably have a lot to do with it as well.

I'm going to Skellig on Friday. I'm going to see is that damned stone there or not. If it's not? He's definitely standing at a gravestone and it's a prop and therefore part of the story. Reys ma buried there? Killed by Kylo? Possibly.


If it is there I'll be ragin haha!!!

david75

Daisy just owned Ireland and the Internet:). Look at her comment underneath

david75

'Confused cos everyone keeps going on about us filming in Ireland and I'm over here like NO HUNZ WE IN SPACE'

david75
