ROGUE ONE: WHEN LONDON BECAME SCARIF!

No sign of any train at this site!

A busy hub for Docklands commuters, the Canary Wharf London Underground station's modern, high-tech environs would also make for an excellent addition to the Star Wars universe in its second 'fantasy life' as an Imperial communications base on the jungle world of Scarif. A dream come true location to film in (under swift top secret conditions) for director Gareth Edwards back in 2015, for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story....

In between takes for Alan Tudyk, Felicity Jones and Diego Luna, during the filming of the ultimately deleted scene escape from the base.

A happy Gareth Edwards awaits the next phase of quick filming on site, alongside Alan Tudyk.

The Stormtroopers other Imperials get ready.

Rogue One: How Star Wars Filmed in Public Without Anyone Noticing

I see that Mister Edwards has even managed to sneak in some more Canary Wharf filming with his all-new upcoming sci-fi/action epic from Fox, The Creator, which looks like an exciting blockbuster this September, 2023.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STAR WARS AFICIONADO!

Written and conceived by Scott Weller, this is the website to the popular UK STAR WARS fan magazine STAR WARS AFICIONADO. The aim of this blog is to educate, enlighten and, hopefully, entertain STAR WARS fans of all ages across the world. Basically, to have fun and enjoy all six of George Lucas's classic movies, the three sequel adventures linked to the Skywalker family (2015 to 2019) and the two spin-off anthology films ROGUE ONE and SOLO. Plus animated TV series spin-off THE CLONE WARS (and STAR WARS REBELS). AFICIONADO celebrates the actual films NOT the modern merchandise overkill!

From time to time, this site will also cover other classic LUCASFILM related movies and TV series, like the INDIANA JONES saga (I to IV), WILLOW, THX-1138, AMERICAN GRAFFITI and RED TAILS.

The original fourteen issue run of STAR WARS AFICIONADO was non-profit making. The site, and former magazine, are NOT affiliated with/to LUCASFILM in any way.

Thank you, George Lucas, for creating such a wonderful, inspiring and evergreen universe!
