Thought I'd start a thread for Episode VIII, after the little video of Rey and Luke on Jedi Island was released:

Nice one with the aliens, and also 'Space Stallion!' Not quite as cool as the giant pig creature from TFA but still so cool to see they are building these things practical rather than CG. :D

"Space Stallion". Love it.
Sounds like a dodgy 70's porno....apparently :oops:

Has there been any confirmation on what planet/location the Croatian scenes are representing?
The new Republic capital planet??

Nice to see new aliens, but (as mentioned in the articles comments) there's a definite 'Dr Who' vibe going on.
I know they're probably only background characters, but the designs/costumes don't quite do it for me (especially Medallion Man).

You're not kidding, it's Jimmy ****ing Saville!

Love the set and the horse thing looks good, but I'm not liking those aliens and the costumes look shite. Pleated shirts and shiny black funeral shoes. Hmm...

More like Peter Stringfellow!


Some of these photos look like the set of a weird Sherlock Holmes movie :?

~40 years has certainly dampened the criticism of yak face, space bears, a slug glove puppet, and whatever the **** this was

I'm with you on that lot, what the hell's with the jazz shoes?!

This better be way in the background for my taste although I do like the look of the location.

Talking of aliens that didn't make the cut... anyone remember this guy - he was briefly glimpsed in the mini making of featurette that came out prior to the release of The Force Awakens. This guy rocks, in a 'so bad its good' kinda way, sponge head and bird **** down his front, why the hell wasn't he in the movie!
