Where was Star Wars’ eighth episode filmed? The rocky outcrop off the coast of southwest Ireland was the location for Luke Skywalker’s retreat on the planet Ahch-To. A real island feature, it is also known as The Wailing Woman, and it is an environment that is fiercely protected. Whether it was Skellig Michael or Malin Head, these locations have inspired many people to visit the area.

Skellig Michael

Skellig Michael is a remote and rocky island off the coast of Kerry, Ireland. It was a popular smuggler’s haven centuries ago, but now people can visit it for a day of sightseeing and adventure. Film crews were given permission to film on Skellig Michael by Tourism Ireland. During the filming, locals gave up their homes in the town of Portmagee to make the island accessible.

Skellig Michael is a UNESCO World Heritage site, only 180 people are allowed to visit. The island was used for a mystical scene in Episode VIII, where the Jedi Luke Skywalker trains his new apprentice Rey in the arts of the Jedi. The beautiful setting was used to film the climactic scenes, with the last scene taking place on Skellig Michael.

Malin Head

The filming of Star Wars Episode VIII in Northern Ireland is drawing wide attention and excitement. The Millennium Falcon was filmed on a rocky outcrop called Malin Head. The production crew remained silent during the filming, enjoying the Irish “craic” in nearby Malin. The crew hung out in the village of Farren’s Bar, and a mural of Yoda welcomes visitors.

The location is also home to the famed Hell’s Hole. The chasm created by the tides is a sight to behold. The island also featured in the movie, where Luke Skywalker grew up. The entire shoot is classified as top-secret, so you won’t find much about the location. The chasm, which is at least 50ft (15m) across and 10ft (3m) high, was filmed in this remote location, just one mile from Banba’s Crown, a famous location for star-studded Northern Lights photos.

Pinewood Studios

The British government has confirmed that Pinewood Studios will once again be the setting for Star Wars: Episode VIII. The spin-off movie will be directed by George Lucas and will begin filming in the near future. Last year, Pinewood Studios filmed the highly-anticipated sequel to The Force Awakens, and now Lucasfilm has announced that Episode VIII will be filmed there. In addition to The Force Awakens, Pinewood Studios is also a location for Marvel superhero movies Avengers: Age of Ultron and James Bond films. However, the timing of the announcement is also seen as political; Osborne wants to associate himself with a high-profile foreign investment just ahead of the U.K. election on May 7.

Pinewood Studios is one of the most famous locations for movies, and it’s no wonder that so many movies have been shot there. For Star Wars: Episode VIII, Pinewood Studios will be the site for the scenes set on Ahch-To. A picture of the set has been leaked online. Previously, Ahch-To scenes were filmed on a skellig in Ireland. Making Star Wars has pictures of the sets, as well as replica huts from Skellig Michael.

Iceland

If you’re a fan of the Star Wars series, you’ve probably heard that Iceland was used as a filming location for Episode 8. In fact, Iceland was used for three filming locations in the film, including scenes on the icy planet Hoth. It also played host to the filming of several scenes in geothermal areas near Lake Viti. You might have also seen Icelandic flags dotted around the countryside.

The vast expanses of the country lend themselves to long, open shots with little need for CGI. The filming crews were able to shoot their scenes at locations in Iceland that are not easily accessible to the general public, such as the Hardangerjokull Glacier, which was famous for its recent eruption, which halted air travel around the world. Iceland’s landscapes also made it easier to edit, since there weren’t many outsiders on set.

Tunisia

Tunisia was the perfect location for filming the film “Star Wars: Episode 8.” The setting was a remote town on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and is home to several ksour, or fortified granaries, which were used as the slave quarters in the prequel trilogy. Visitors can explore these sites and the nearby salt flats, and hunt for the pieces of set that were used in the filming. In addition to the desert locations, Tunisia also has several original props from the film.

Many of the desert locations used for the filming were actually found in Tunisia. Ajim, in particular, was used for scenes that depict droids in the film. The old mosque in Ajim was the location for the Mos Eisley Spaceport in A New Hope. Several other locations were used as backdrops for the film, including the desert town of Grindelwald, which acted as a setting for several films, including the prequel “The Phantom Menace”.

Dubrovnik

Filming for the upcoming Star Wars movie, Episode VIII, has recently ended in Croatia. The film crew will head to the UK to finish the movie at Pinewood Studios. According to the Dubrovnik Times, filming took place from March 9th to 16th. Approximately ten to fifteen minutes of footage was shot in Croatia. This is a big deal for the city, as it was known for its beautiful beaches and old-world charm.

Filming is scheduled to end in December 2017. The production will include the characters from the Star Wars universe, including Leia Organa and Darth Vader. Dubrovnik, Croatia, is known for its UNESCO World Heritage Site. Several buildings in the Old Town are still standing, and they are full of history. Some of the best examples of old-world architecture are the baroque St. Blaise Church and the Renaissance Sponza Palace. The Gothic Rector’s Palace now houses a history museum. The pedestrianized Stradun is lined with shops and restaurants.
