Skellig Michael, you’re looking well.
If you’re one of the three people in the world that hasn’t seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens then we strongly encourage you to finish this article and then run to your nearest cinema because it’s fantastic. Starkiller Base sized spoiler alert but the worst kept secret in the galaxy was confirmed, Skellig Michael in Co Kerry featured quite prominently in J.J Abrams’ film
Again, right now our spoiler alert klaxon is ringing louder than an X-Wing pilot’s ears. Do we need to say spoiler alert again? SPOILER ALERT.
Still with us? Cool because as you may know a certain Jedi made a very welcome appearance in the final moments to perfectly set up Episode VIII and ensure plenty of tourists to the Kingdom in the next few years.
It has already been revealed that the cast and crew are already filming in Kerry but it seems that the entire world has fallen in love with a truly beautiful part of Ireland.
Here’s what Daisy Ridley and JJ Abrams had to say about filming in Ireland along with some of the best tweets.
Here are some of the tweets.

Typical Kerry. No sign of them for 95% of the campaign and then they show up to steal the show at the death #starwars

Having re-awoken Star Wars…I think it's obvious that Kerry could do the same for the #IndianaJones & #Terminator films..just call us.
