WATCH: The arrival of the Star Wars cast and crew was the cause of much excitement at Cork Airport

May the force be with you, boi.

Fresh from filming in Donegal over the weekend – where Daisy Ridley got involved in a trad session – the cast and crew of the latest episode in the Star Wars franchise are making their way to Kerry to shoot more footage over the coming days. While a drive down the west coast along the Wild Atlantic Way would have been nice, the cast and crew instead flew down to Cork Airport, where the red carpet was rolled out for them before their journey west to neighbouring Kerry. The Cork Airport official Twitter account really got into the spirit of things with pictures and videos of the arrival of the cast and crew, some of which may have been subject to a little bit of Star Wars-themed editing. https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732179266830536704 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732200286966681600 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732200644984098816 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732202268687253504 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732206337980018690 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732206456003559424 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732213017795014657 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732225052494708740 https://twitter.com/Corks96FM/status/732209759147921409 https://twitter.com/CorkAirport/status/732228185207779329 We’re sure the welcome will be just as friendly when they do get to Kerry; sure they’re practically locals there at this stage.
