Dubrovnik<\/strong>\u00a0(Croatia) is one of the official set locations where the awaited\u00a0Star Wars: Episode VIII<\/strong>\u00a0will be filmed. We don\u2019t know what this little city will represent in the Star Wars Universe, but looking at his architectural style it will probably be\u00a0the location of an ancient city<\/strong>\u00a0of an alien world still unknow to us. Five years ago (when the franchise hadn\u2019t been bought\u00a0<\/i>by Disney yet) George Lucas visited Dubrovnik and some weeks ago the set location was confirmed by the\u00a0Mayor of Dubrovnik,\u00a0Andro Vlahusic<\/em>, which had a meeting with Lucas Film in United States. The filming dates announced (under the working name \u201cStar Bear\u201d) some days ago are\u00a0March 9th \u2013 16th 2016<\/strong>. So, we could guess that the director\u00a0Rian Johnson will use the city of Dubrovnik for a single scene of a few minutes<\/strong>. Here are the photos showing the camping and set\u2019s preparation.<\/p>\n

The eighth chapter of the franchise,\u00a0Star Wars: Episode VIII<\/strong>, is produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. and directed by Rian Johnson (The Brothers Bloom,\u00a0Looper). The cast includes:\u00a0Mark Hamill,\u00a0Carrie Fisher,\u00a0Adam Driver,\u00a0Daisy Ridley,\u00a0John Boyega,\u00a0Oscar Isaac,\u00a0Lupita Nyong\u2019o,\u00a0Domhnall Gleeson,\u00a0Anthony Daniels,\u00a0Gwendoline Christie,\u00a0Andy Serkis,\u00a0Benicio Del Toro,\u00a0Laura Dern and\u00a0Kelly Marie Tran.\u00a0It is scheduled to be released in theaters on\u00a0December 5, 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
