We can’t wait for the next instalment of Star Wars to hit the big screen.
It’s not just because Episode VII was so good that we need to know what happens to Rey, Finn, Po, BB-8 and the whole gang – it’s also because we really get a kick out of seeing Ireland taken out of our solar system and relocated in ‘a galaxy far, far away.’
Photos have emerged today of the crew putting the set together in Ballyferriter, West Kerry, and it looks an awful lot like the Skellig Michael location did in the final scene from The Force Awakens, right down to the beehive huts.
