We recently published a story of the interactive Millennium Falcon cockpit which is a must see for all the fans. However, this is only one of 3 interactive 360° panoramic clips published by StarWars.com in their Star Wars 360 series. Other than Millennium Falcon, you can also visit the cockpit of the X Wing fighter craft, but much more exciting than both is the 360° panoramic view of the actual Star Wars Creature shop from a real set.

Here you can explore a huge workshop full to the brim with creatures of all shapes and sizes, most of which you know very well. Click on the screenshot below to explore it for yourself and see if you can spot one of the aliens from Star Wars Episode VIII filming in Dubrovnik.

Star Wars the Force Awakens is finally out on Digital HD with Blu-ray and DVD versions coming out tomorrow! To mark this joyous occasion, there were 4 clips from the Special Features posted on Star Wars YouTube channel, as reported by StarWarsNewsNet. Our favourite is the one with John Boyega. Just remember while watching it, he is apparently a long time fan of the franchise.

The following two clips we already published, they are about Poe Dameron character and casting of Daisy Ridley… but we don’t mind seeing them again.

As if we needed to make BB8 even more cute… check out the cosplay video of a kid dressed up as the children’s favourite Star Wars The Force Awakens Character, as reported by Unilad. Great work on the costume though! Click below to see the clip.

The buzz surrounding Star Wars Episode VIII filming in Dubrovnik still didn’t die down, but it’s being replaced by the usual spring time rush of getting everything ready for an eventful summer season ahead. To pass the time, we are turning to the main news stories regarding Episode VIII.

As all of you who saw The Force Awakens (and I do hope that’s everyone by now… if not, heavy spoilers to follow) know, Han Solo met his demise at the hand of Kylo Ren at the climax of the film leaving fans all over the world saddened, but also at peace knowing his character was pretty much at the end of his journey. It was a well developed, well rounded character, not to mention one of fan favourites, and his death was one of the plot highlights of TFA.

Still, knowing the history of Star Wars movies, this does not necessarily mean the character will never again be seen on screen. It is highly unlikely he will be resurrected of found still alive, but the franchise was always clear about death not being the end, especially when it comes to Jedis. We know Anakin Skywalker, Ben Kenobi and Yoda all appeared as ghosts (for the lack of a better term), so could something like this be possible with Han Solo?

According to ScreenCrush it very well could be. Apparently, Harrison Ford was asked about possibly appearing in the next episode on Jimmy Kimmel Live and basically refused to answer gesturing he is supposed to keep his mouth shut about it (full interview clip below). It stands to reason he would be much less pressed to keep the information a secret if the character is definitely not appearing in Episode VIII. Still, that’s hardly a proof of anything, but there is more. It was none other than Kathleen Turner, president of Lucasfilm who said on the London premier of Star Wars The Force Awakens that all the actors in attendance will be appearing in Episode VIII. Among those actors majority are the main protagonists of the new story line, but also present was Harrison Ford. Makes you wonder…

Official Star Wars Facebook page is where you can take an interactive virtual tour of the cockpit of Millennium Falcon, the most iconic space ship of Star Wars Franchise. The Cockpit itself is make in detail and the whole thing provides for a really cool chance to see it from a very different, 1st person perspective. Click on the screenshot below to be taken to the interactive video.

It would be cool to be able to do this while the Falcon was moving though…

Today Star Wars fans have a new leaked photograph to entertain them. Published by MakingStarWars this fan taken photo of Ahch-To set in Pinewood shows structures similar to those filmed on Irish Skellig Michael location. At the end of The Force Awakens, Rey is seen walking by similar structures on the way to meet Luke Skywalker. Skellig Michael locations have been dropped for Episode VIII due to operations difficulties when shooting there.

If you remember, certain media speculated Dubrovnik might be used as Ahch-To location during Star Wars Episode VIII filming here, but the rumour turned out to be just a rumour after all.

Do you remember leaked photos of Star Wars filming in Dubrovnik that showed a weird reptilian alien? If not, here’s one to refresh your memory.

Well, apparently, this is the character from The Force Awakens! As one fan under the screen name of temtam noticed and posted on TheForce.net forums, the same type of alien can be seen in one of the “new cantina” scenes on The Force Awakens Blu-ray extra. He posted the following screenshot as proof.

Perhaps the production people found the mask too good not to re-use, especially if the character didn’t make the final cut of TFA at all… and I don’t remember it did.

Some leaked footage from the filming of Star Wars Episode VIII in Dubrovnik is still surfacing even though the production moved out of our town almost two weeks ago. The video below, published by Dubrovnik Times, shows what is supposed to be a production car with a camera crane, accelerating brutally during the filming.

Dubrovnik Times goes on by saying, the word on the street is the car in question was modified specifically to be able to achieve quick acceleration for the filming needs… and here we were thinking it was just a crane carrier with a slick paint job.

As Dubrovnik Times reports famous Croatian graffiti artists Lunar and Lonac made a large Star Wars themed mural on the walls of one of the elementary schools in Dubrovnik’s district of Mokosica. Ever since the filming of Star Wars Episode VIII in Dubrovnik, more and more local chldren have embraced the sci-fi saga and now represent the youngest generation of fans.

This is the first tandem mural these two graffiti artists have done and the project was accompanied by their street art lecture in Dubrovnik, for which the turn out was apparently very good, as reported by MixMagAdria

The mural shows two cats, a father and son, with father cat playing with his son’s Star Wars x-wing toy while the little one is asleep. It’s a nod to the cult status Star Wars enjoys with its fans and I think the guys really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Adam Driver, who embodied the main villain of Star Wars The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren, stated in an interview he can’t wait to get on set of Episode VIII.

In an chat with some of the cast of Midnight Special published by Entertainment Weekly Driver was asked a few questions about his Star Wars experience including how the movie changed his life. The actor was also able to turn the fact he wasn’t allowed to say anything about the Episode VIII being filmed into a joke and overall had a laid back approach to the whole affair.

There are those who feel Kylo Ren is not a good villain for the sequels, but we loved his role here at starwarsdubrovnik.com. What are your feelings about Adam Driver in the role of Star Wars bad guy?
