There is no higher honour...

Skellig Michael won international attention after featuring at the end of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and judging by the trailer the location is set to play an even bigger role in Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. With just a matter of weeks to go before the film debuts, the marketing machine has gone into overdrive — and produced one of the finest immortalisations of Ireland's natural beauty that we've ever seen. That's right, they've made a LEGO Skellig Michael (known in-universe as Ahch-To Island). The set, which is labelled as for 7-12 year olds (try telling that to any grown-up Star Wars nerds out there), also comes with LEGO figurines of Luke Skywalker, Rey, and the Porg, a puffin-like creature that's become incredibly popular simply by its brief appearance in the movie's trailer.
