This past week BBC News reported that it appeared that the production for Star Wars: Episode VII was setting up to film in Puzzlewood, Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, UK. Many Winnebagos were seen onsite and security was tight in the area, but no one would confirm that Star Wars was filming there. The BBC reporter speculated that Puzzlewood possibly was being used as Dagoba or Endor, but it could also represent the Wookie home planet of Kashyyyk.

Two days after the BBC News report, The Daily Mail reported that they had confirmed that Star Wars was filming in Forest of Dean. They posted pictures from the area, including someone in what looks like Jedi robes.

The code name AVCO has been seen on vans in the area as well, as was reported on Bleeding Cool.
