PIC: The first photo has emerged from the set of Star Wars Episode VIII

We’re excited for this already…

They’re just finished their first month of filming for Star Wars Episode VIII and to mark the occasion, Director Rian Johnson has posted the first photo from the set.

The photo shows Steven Yedlin, a cinematographer, standing in what appears to be the Millennium Falcon as Johnson continues to feed us breadcrumbs of information about the upcoming movie.

They’ve already revealed that they’re filming in Croatia and they’ll even be filming some scenes up in Donegal in May.

Johnson posted the photo to Tumblr and even at this early stage, it’s managed to build our excitement for the next episode of the series.
