As reported by Dubrovnik Times the Mayor of Dubrovnik is due to meet the producers of Star Wars Episode VIII while on his current trip to the United States.

Locals are hard at work guessing exactly what the Episode VIII filming locations in Dubrovnik will be, and while it is highly unlikely mayor Andro Vlahusic will share any information from the upcoming meeting, we can most definitely expect another wave of rumours about the scope of the filming, Star Wars characters that will be involved, and of course, who’s backyard will serve as a backdrop for one of the epic scenes.

One information that might be available to the public are the exact dates of the filming as high end productions usually mean plenty of machinery and man power. For a small place like Dubrovnik where parking can be a hassle on the slower days of the year, let alone during the busy summer season and shoulder months, operations like this mean plenty of preparation by everyone involved.
