There's no way thats really from the film. Theyd never let a set be seen this early.

Its a public street.

We knew about Skellig long in advance and anyone could have gone and seen it.

Daisy speaking to MTV at the Oscars about VII

Daisy Ridley has some bad news for you, Star Wars fans. Episode VIII is not just two hours of her and Mark Hamill staring at each other. It’s a damn travesty, we know. We can feel your disappointment all the way over here.

Don’t be too bummed, though. Ridley and Hamill still have plenty to do in Star Wars: Episode VIII as Rey and Luke Skywalker — and she’s really excited about it. (Is she excited because she gets to start her Jedi training?!)

“Me and Mark have been rehearsing a lot, and it’s really amazing,” Ridley told MTV News on the Oscars red carpet Sunday (February 28). “When we went back to Skellig to do the opening of [Episode] VIII, it was so crazy doing the same scene with a different crew of people. He’s amazing to rehearse with, and I’m very excited to be doing the rest of the stuff.”

“It’s such a good story,” Ridley added. “Seriously. Luke is so cool in this one. Really.”

The title will not be known this early from people on the street.

Thought we were calling it the Wrath of the Spacebear?

Apparently there's already a 'Wrath of the Spacebear' so it had to be changed.

I heard today on the radio that there will be another Skellig shoot. Cant find any info online though

Not Skellig – Ceann Sibéal, which has been known for a while. It's standing in for Skellig due to the problems shooting there.

Let's hope this Donegal shoot comes off, would be amazing for this part of the country.

It's certainly fits the bill in terms of rugged beauty.

Can't judge until you've seen the finished film.

Tony EH · 24-03-2016 11:22am

True. But the same criticism stands for 'The Force Awakens'.

homerun_homer · 24-03-2016 11:50am

Yes but there are many that it didn't bother. After the prequels it was nice to see better callbacks to the originals in TFA. I felt it helped bring the fans back into a comfort zone. If the talk is to be believed, episode VIII will be quite different to any Star Wars film anyway with Rhian's script.

py2006 · 24-03-2016 12:06pm

Crew have now started work on a fairly large set at Ceann Sibeal in west Kerry.

A temporary road is in place and in the last few days two big cranes have been brought onto the site.

Locals in the area who are involved in the shoot (providing accommodation, transport, etc) say the crew are building some sort of village which resembles the ancient stone monastery that’s on Skellig Michael. Whether its a new location or a replica of what’s on Skellig isn’t clear yet but it looks similar in design.

Some filming, probably background and effects shots, is due to start at the end of April with principal photography with Hamill and Ridley to start in May and last about 10 days. Shoot will be much bigger than the ones on Skellig island and almost every bit of accommodation nearby has been booked out by Disney.

Attached is a pic that shows the cranes. Not a great quality shot but it gives some idea of whats going on.

I don't know, makes sense to me. A lot of SW is set in poor/impoverished areas; Tattooine, Nar Shaddaa, outer rim worlds, backwater planets etc., etc. Whilst it's a futuristic/sci-fi setting it doesn't mean everyone has unlimited funds. I'd imagine a lot of ships/vehicles get upcycled/recycled/kept together... That's always been the on-going theme with the Falcon for example. A bucket of bolts barely held together...

Bacchus · 24-03-2016 1:27pm

To me, technology is timeless in the Star Wars universe. It's the future but it's a long time ago. It's almost as if everything they have now is what has always existed and will always exist. Give or take 100 years, it's going to be the same (some stuff is shinier than others, but it's the same). If they start trying to advance technology as time moves on (ala Star Trek) I think it will lose a core part of it's appeal.

Tony EH · 24-03-2016 1:40pm

It would STILL be nice to see some new shit though.

david75 · 24-03-2016 4:00pm

Millennium Falcon is possibly 100 years old and has been upgraded and patched up and refitted. Let's be honest we'd all be pretty angry if it wasn't in the films. I would anyways.

Slydice · 24-03-2016 7:07pm

The Garbage will do!

david75 · 24-03-2016 9:55pm

I'd be proud and ecstatic to own the Falcon

SpaceCowb0y · 25-03-2016 9:53am

if its not broken don't fix it. I actually felt the ships and crafts in the prequels looked more modern than in in the OT and for me that ruined it. In fact everything looked "shinier" and more futuristic, part of the main criticism of those movies.

There will always be new things to look at, Rey's speeder bike for example but i love that they are trying to keep it in the tone of the OT now. As if everything still fits in part of that world. Its only 30 years later or something, My grandad still has an 80s car in his drive. Its a junker but cars haven't changed all that much really in comparison.

I think that was one of the main points that they were trying to make; the prequels we set in an "age of enlightenment" and the OT were set in an age where it had all gone to hell because of the empire tyrannical reign.

aaronjumper · 27-03-2016 1:02pm

The speeder we are seeing could be Lukes, maybe he went back and got it because he's nostalgic.
He might be a vintage speeder enthusiast now.

After all Daddy Vader was the Star Wars equivalent of a petrolhead before he went all Darkside.

Mickeroo · 27-03-2016 4:04pm

My dad has a tractor more than 40 years old and it runs fine. I've seen plenty of older cars around on bank holiday weekends too...maybe Luke only takes it out on sundays and drives a people carrier land speeder during the week. The possibilities are endless :pac:

It's been rumoured - although not officially confirmed - that Cork's English Market will be used for filming scenes for Episode VIII later this year. Already, Cork's Brow Head and Kerry's Ceann Sibeal have been confirmed as sites for filming.

The shoot is rumoured to take place in the final weekend of April, with reports suggesting that traders in the English Market will be compensated for their loss of earnings and may even be used as background extras in the shoot itself.

It's also been speculated that the English Market will be used as the interior scenes for exterior shots that have taken place in Dubrovnik, Croatia. In the meantime, we've contacted Disney / Lucasfilm for an official confirmation and comment on the report, but, yeah, looks like the Rebel Alliance will be hanging out in the Rebel county.
