Last week Lucasfilm made it official – Star Wars: Episode VII will be filmed in the UK, just as most of Episodes I-VI were before it.
“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, said Kathleen Kennedy,” President of Lucasfilm. “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.”
Kennedy also recently revealed she will attend the Star Wars Celebration in Essen, Germany on July 26-28. She will sit down with Warwick Davis to discuss her career, running Lucasfilm, and the upcoming Star Wars movie.
