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.

ROGUE ONE: LONDON CALLING...


Having worked at Docklands early in his visual effects career, filmmaker Gareth Edwards always told himself that one day he would film a sci-fi film at the futuristic environs of London's prestigious and very futuristic Canary Wharf Tube Station. Years later, that dream, one of many, became a reality for him when the site became part of the interior Imperial base settings on Scarif for Rogue One, as seen in the above now iconic behind the scenes image of Stormtrooper costumed extras, taken from 2015.

ROGUE ONE: IN THE ENEMY'S LAIR


Captain Cassian Andor perfects his Imperial officer swagger as loyal former Imperial droid K-2SO follows on, in this scene set in the enemy communications centre of Scarif, filmed at East London's Canary Wharf Underground station, for one fast paced night only.
