STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII Set Photos and Videos Show Landspeeder and Location

Some photos from the set of Rian Johnson's Star Wars: Episode VIII have surfaced online thanks to Star Wars Direct. They offer us a look at the beautiful set for the film in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and one of them includes a tease of a slick-looking Landspeeder vehicle. The set looks pretty awesome, and we also have a couple of videos for you to watch below as well showing some work being done on it. 

If you're excited for Episode VIII, it's cool to get a behind-the-scenes look at the work going on to help bring it to life. In the process, you get a glimpse at another Star Wars universe location being created. I'm insanely excited to actually start seeing some official stuff from the next chapter in the Star Wars saga. 

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to be released on December 15th, 2017, so unfortunately, we've got a long way to go.

On the last weekend before filming of Star Wars VIII begins in Dubrovnik the final touches are being made to the set on the main street, the Stradun. The ancient stone facades of the city have been transformed into a sci-fi set complete with flashing buttons and droid control panels.

Star Wars Episode VIII set construction at Dubrovnik, Croatia, days before filming. Most of the set construction is located on the main city street Stradun. There are some props beyond Srtadun, but most of them are covered up or under guard.
