The NEXT Star Wars film to start shooting in London ‘within weeks’

At first, it was thought that they were filming last-minute reshoots for The Force Awakens – but after director Rian Johnson was spotted on the island, it became apparent that the team were in fact there to crack on with some scenes for Episode VIII. Included in that blanket statement seems to be Harrison Ford.

We’ll – probably – find out on May 26, 2017.

Boyega’s character is central to the new trilogy. Kylo Ren led the revolt against Luke, and from that flashback, it appears the Knights of Ren also dress in black masks to idolize Darth Vader.

It is indeed an ambitious effort to re-ignite the Star Wars fire, with a complex story commencing with new young leading roles, then joined by Han Solo, Chewbacca, Leia and even the old master himself. You didn’t understand what these references were: the Empire, dark times, Clone Wars. Maz has the lightsaber – she promises to explain how she got it another time. George [Lucas] dropped you into a story and respected you to infer everything necessary to understand what you need to know… And Finn is that … She lets Finn (John Boyega) slip out from her grasp right before he launches his escape plan from the First Order with Poe (Oscar Isaac). And it will be. “I’m sure rewrites are going to be endless, like they always are”, he cautions.

As for the rest of you, prepare to dive into this extremely SPOILER-FILLED post, as we prepare to talk about the end of Episode VII, and what it means for Episode VIII. We wanted them to be part of the process, to make the transition to their film as seamless as possible. “I don’t know if he’s a villain”, Del Toro said. Nothing about Snoke is made explicit in Force Awakens: Although he appears as a hologram the size of the statue in the Lincoln Memorial, he’s presumably a standard-sized being. Johnson asked a couple of things from Abrams to help him tie the 7th and 8th episodes together. “He is an incredibly accomplished filmmaker and an incredibly strong writer”.

Star Wars Episode VIII, which doesn’t have an official title yet, is now in the works. Who’s coming back in Episode VIII? It will star Felicity Jones and be directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, will “explores the characters and events beyond the core Star Wars saga”.
