Episode VIII production photos (possible spoilers)

[Captaindemotion]

I just love that this film is shooting in my favourite county in Ireland!!! When I was a kid, I thought it would be great if they ever made a Star Wars film here. Yes, there's absolutely no chance whatsoever of me meeting the stars or getting onset but it's just great to think of it being filmed in a place I visited so often as a kid.

#Foe

We're calling the Finn/Poe ship Foe? I was going to suggest Pinn.

I couldn't believe it when Saving Private Ryan or Braveheart was filmed here and didn't think Hollywood would ever come back again. But just look at how many big productions have been in Ireland over the last few years and it is quite a turn around indeed. If Doctor Who filmed an episode here that would be the icing on the cake for me.

Quite a few have filmed in the north recently and obviously there's Game of Thrones. The excellent Penny Dreadful is filmed in Dublin.

But, even as a big GOT fan, there are films and tv shows and there's FRIGGING STAR WARS!!!!!! Star Wars!!! In Donegal! Not far from my parents' holiday home! I mean it was great to see Skellig Michael in TFA but now its even closer to home.

Jon Boyega has said that Rey and Finn will not have a romance in VIII, and that the " romance thing is something that’s going to be interesting in the next installment", and "It’s not going to go the way you think it’s going to go."
Hmmm, this comment could add some more fuel to the fire for the Finn/Poe shippers.

Well, he never says it won't happen in VIII. He just says they're friends in TFA (which they are) and when asked 'So no romance?', just says they're friends again, that the romance in VIII will be interesting, and 'not go the way you think it's going to go'. It's a fairly typical non-answer answer, highlighted a couple questions later when he talks about 'Disney Spies' everywhere.

 

[Sketcher]

Weren't there reports of John Boyega screentesting with a new female character, coupled with rumors new female character was his love interest in VII?

 

[Skywalker]

Yes.

Or friend.

Daisy Ridley posted a new instagram photo of herself working out, but apparenlty it was between filming scenes for EPVIII, so she had to cover her hair because it's a spoiler.
So what could possible be spoilery about her hairdo?
The only noteworthy hairdos I can come up with for Star Wars are either the Leia buns, which look unlikely since her hair is pulled back, or the padawan braid.

 

[Mr Light]

She has Darth Maul horns.

 

[Reverend]

A padawan braid would be the more obvious and likely answer. Of course it's entirely possible she's just taking the piss.

 

[The Wormhole]

possible she's just taking the piss.

Considering the freaking out going on over Mark Hamill shaving his beard allegedly meaning Luke has been killed off, I can easily imagine her trying to mess with fans like this.

 

[Set Harth]

Shaved... by a lightsaber!

People are actually freaking out over that? All it means is either Luke shaves or he'll just regrow the beard by the time EPIX filming starts, it's doesn't have to mean anything about Luke's fate.

 

[mos6507]

Hamill has said he doesn't like the beard. He only keeps it when he needs it.

 

[JD]

It really is ridiculous the stuff fans will overreact to.

 

[The Wormhole]

This isn't even limited to SW fandom either. Whenever one of the actors from The Walking Dead gets a haircut fandom assumes their character has been killed off. They even made a joke about it on Talking Dead.

What she actually wrote? I think I may be speaking English from a different timeline, but “spoiling the hairstyle” means something completely different to me. Although I am not exactly sure how a pillowcase prevents that.
