Star Wars: Episode VIII Set pieces (Pic heavy)

[darthvader073]

This weekend two friends and I visited SW EP8 set that's being made for the shooting in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We took quite a few photos on the set and the city itself, but we were most excited when we saw a computers and astromech port details on the columns. It's important to say that the set (and perhaps first time in a SW film) is completely open to public right now, it's literlay the main street and square. Regulations start at the end of the week, and shooting starts on March 9th. It will last for a week.

I'm Vader (SL-10995), and the two friends are TKs, our legion C.O. (TK-14412), and the other president of the Croatian SW Association

Awesome. Great shots. I'm kind of surprised those panels are still on the walls though.

Awesome. Great shots. I'm kind of surprised those panels are still on the walls though.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Are there police or security right there?

No problem guys, if I go there again this week I'll upload some more
There's tons of security, but they're only there to prevent tourists and fans from fooling around the set. There are also several places in the city where the tents for the crew are, including one that has at least a hundread reflector stands in front of it. On the shooting days (nights, to be precise), there will be 600 security members, plus the team that will prevent any drone filming attempt.

I was there too, I actually left two of my astromech ports on the wall. (we were snapping some pics) You'll know they're mine since I covered them in clear plastic. If you go back can you grab them for me? I'll gladly pay for shipping.

These pics are awesome, amazing shots! Thank you for sharing!

It's interesting because they do look like astromech data ports but they appear too high for any astromech we've seen to actually be able to reach! Lol!

Look what "landed" on the set an hour ago

Whoa! Nice! Looks similar to Luke's, if I'm looking at it right.
