You know it doesn’t look good for the production when we are talking about the weather 3 days before the filming. Dubrovnik is experiencing heavy rain and strong southern winds since Saturday night and those are expected to continue until Monday morning. National Weather Service even issued an “orange” warning for Dubrovnik area. This is bad news for many Star Wars fans who decided to use the weekend to come to Dubrovnik and see the sets before the close for public on Wednesday 9th of March. It’s also a concern for the production of Star Wars Episode VIII as Dubrovnik weather in March can get very rough very quickly. However, the forecast for much to the upcoming week is not that bad and the rain is predicted to subside completely.

In the meantime, there is no rest for the crews getting the sets ready. As Dubrovnik Times reported, people working on the sets on the main street were seen using large mobile dryers, drying the street between showers. t.

It remained unclear what was the final point of it, but it is obvious that rain and Star Wars sets don’t mix well. We hope the forecasts for the filming week will prove correct.
