We may have only recently started getting set pictures from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but already possible set pictures from Episode VIII have been leaked online.
However, the pictures don’t show much other than crew members setting up though director Rian Johnson was spotted. Producer Ram Bergman and head of photography Steve Yedlin are also said to have been spotted visiting Skellig Michael recently. They were apparently walking the island and taking pictures to survey the area.
The Kerry’s Eye newspaper featured a Star Wars cover with a description which is below:
“A huge production crew for Star Wars VIII – the sequel to the film shot on the World Heritage Site last year – arrived in South Kerry on Tuesday and visited Skellig Michael… The director [Rian Johnson], producer [Ram Bergman], and head of photography [Steve Yedlin] for the blockbuster film – along with up to 30 pre-production crew, were ferried on to the island at around 2.30pm. The crew brought no equipment on board the boats with them, but it is understood that they were walking the island and taking pictures, and spent a number of hours surveying the area.”
No reports on cast members who are filming at Skellig Michael have been released so there’s no indication which characters will feature in the scenes shot there for Episode VIII. However, when The Force Awakens filmed at the location Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Daisy Ridley (Rey) were supposedly spotted so they could be filming there again.
Thoughts on the pictures? Are you excited for the release of Star Wars Episode VIII?
