STAR WARS: Episode VII Will Be Filmed in The UK!

It turns out that J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm are sticking with tradition for the next Star Wars film. They've announced that they are going to be filming Episode VII in the UK. There is no word on how much of the movie will be done overseas, but here is what Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy had to say about the situation via starwars.com:

We've devoted serious time and attention to revisiting the origins of Star Wars as inspiration for our process on the new movie, and I'm thrilled that returning to the UK for production and utilizing the incredible talent there can be a part of that. Speaking from my own longstanding connection to the UK with films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire of the Sun and recently War Horse, it's very exciting to be heading back.

I feel that if you have had a great deal of success doing things a certain way, there is no need to change things up completely. I am really excited to see what Abrams has up his sleeve for us. 

If you have any specific excitement or complaint about the new Star Wars movies coming out, feel free to express them. I am always anxious to hear what you have to say.

Until next time…

Billy Out!
