Episode VIII wraps principal photography !
30th July 2016 |
At the end of July, the Official site confirmed that Star Wars Episode VIII had wrapped principal photography. Notwithstanding any scheduled reshoots, the movie has now entered its full post-production stage. Recently, the director Rian Johnson revealed that many classic films had influenced the writing of this episode, including the war-time movie 'Twevle O'Clock High' which centres around the challenges and dynamics of re-building a team following the loss of a much-loved leader.

Over a long weekend in mid July, London hosted the 'Celebration Europe' event for the second time. Its focus was primarily on the upcoming A Star Wars Story : Rogue One, and a 'Behind-the-Scenes' production reel was released revealing much more about this first stand-alone film ! Many settings and characters were unveiled, along with the new planet names of 'Scarif ' (a tropical world) and 'Jedha ' (a world described as sympathetic to the Jedi and a 'spiritual' home for that Order and the Force). Furthermore, Kathleen Kennedy revealed that director Gareth Edwards' hand-held guerilla style of camera-work lent itself greatly to what they envisioned for Rogue One ; and that the concept for the film - from ILMer John Knoll - dated back over a decade ago to when story ideas were being proposed and developed for the live-action TV series.
And an additional SW:CE-only exclusive teaser trailer apparently showed the return of Darth Vader, with new dialogue by James Earl Jones !
