EPISODE VIII: BACK AT PINEWOOD...

A Jedi and a new droid friend. Mark Hamill and BB-8.

Apart from some fun and deliberately vague imagery posted by Rian Johnson recently (including a mystery cavern with Luke Skywalker's Jedi cloak inside it), things have been (again deliberately) pretty quiet at Camp LUCASFILM as the next sequel nears principal photography completion. So here's a few images we hadn't previously posted from the UK Royal brothers set visit to Pinewood last April, to keep all the expectant EPISODE VIII fans reading this happy, with hopefully a snippet or two more bits of new material to be revealed at CELEBRATION EUROPE next month.

Screen grabs from SKY NEWS and FIVE News.

Prince William explores the creature workshop and meets Neal Scanlon.

Taking a break from filming, John Boyega joins Daisy Ridley at Pinewood.

Prince Harry gets into the A-wing fighter, on a set believed to be the hangar of a new to the screen Rebel Cruiser.

Kathleen Kennedy and Mark Hamill want to keep EPISODE VIII a continued surprise.

John Boyega and Joonas Suotamo as Chewie confer with Prince Harry by an X-wing fighter.

The cast, with Rian Johnson, pose for a group photo.

Chewie and BB-8. Such a wonderful duo.
