The curse continues: Mark Hamill almost fell to his death filming Episode 8 - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill nearly died while filming a sequel to the Star Wars trilogies on a remote Irish island, it has been claimed. Hamill, now 63, slipped during a dangerous climb in a treacherous spot on Skellig Michael, a rocky outcrop off the coast of County Kerry which has claimed the lives of two tourists in recent years.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/curse-star-wars-strikes-again-6436184[/url] [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3232736/Use-stairs-Luke-Star-Wars-actor-Mark-Hamill-saved-dangerous-fall-Irish-island-claimed-two-lives.html[/url] it's sounding a little more dramatic then it is, but yeah people can get hurt making these movies.

You mean Episode 7? Or did they already start filming 8?

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48675015]You mean Episode 7?[/QUOTE] It turns out that they're already working on Episode 8. [url]http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/sep/10/star-wars-returns-to-skellig-michael[/url] [QUOTE]Sequences for episode seven – Star Wars: The Force Reawakens – were shot on Skellig Michael last year. On Monday the filmmakers will return to the island – around 7 miles off the Iveragh peninsula – to shoot scenes for Episode VIII.[/QUOTE]

So it pretty much confirms that Luke WILL appear in Episode 8. The only thing that we still don't know is his role for 7 and 8.

damn that would of sucked if he died

[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;48675038]So it pretty much confirms that Luke WILL appear in Episode 8. The only thing that we still don't know is his role for 7 and 8.[/QUOTE] Well his role for 8 is clearly going to involve near death.

It's pretty crazy to think that production is well on it's way for episode 8 and we haven't seen episode 7 yet.

ScreenRant reported a week or so back that they were just doing re-shoots at the moment in Ireland because the weather was "too good" before when they shot there. I doubt it is Ep 8 filming because they are currently filming rogue one with that crew. UPDATE: My aplogies, [url]http://screenrant.com/star-wars-8-filming-ireland/[/url] They have redacted their earlier article. It IS episiode 8 they are filming. So clearly we can expect Carrie Fisher to almost die in Episode 9.

[QUOTE=ejonkou;48675218]It's pretty crazy to think that production is well on it's way for episode 8 and we haven't seen episode 7 yet.[/QUOTE] Well it makes sense, none of the actors are getting younger and I guess they wanna finish them before they can't act anymore.

[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;48675038]So it pretty much confirms that Luke WILL appear in Episode 8. The only thing that we still don't know is his role for 7 and 8.[/QUOTE] Oh his role in episode 7 is known for quite some time. It's just that most people don't want to see the leaks. [editline]13th September 2015[/editline] Also it makes perfect sense they would start filming Episode 8 now. It's a trilogy with rather tight schedule of releases after all.

[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;48675038]So it pretty much confirms that Luke WILL appear in Episode 8. The only thing that we still don't know is his role for 7 and 8.[/QUOTE] I'm not even remotely surprised he's in 8 and its probably safe to say he's also in 9, Disney knows what they need in a star wars movie and they're filming practically 3 movies at once

[QUOTE=Killuah;48675239]-77 Smartness[/QUOTE] thank you, it was bothering me too

I guess if they were filming outdoors they couldn't use all the safety features that a studio allows for [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MTDQA11.jpg[/IMG]

oh god we would've not had him in the killing joke, that would've sucked :(

[QUOTE=Killuah;48675239]-77 Smartness[/QUOTE] Damn there's a blast from the past. Didn't know they were filiming episode 8, I figured it was a typo

[QUOTE=MrDestroyer;48675243]Well it makes sense, none of the actors are getting younger and I guess they wanna finish them before they can't act anymore.[/QUOTE] Someone's going to end up breaking a hip.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;48676889]oh god we would've not had him in the killing joke, that would've sucked :([/QUOTE] nah he's already recorded all his lines

As long as they are good, they can make 50 of the movies.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;48675875]I guess if they were filming outdoors they couldn't use all the safety features that a studio allows for [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MTDQA11.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] bring your mattress to work day

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;48675875]I guess if they were filming outdoors they couldn't use all the safety features that a studio allows for [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MTDQA11.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Makes you wonder what other sets looked like below the black bars

[QUOTE=ejonkou;48675218]It's pretty crazy to think that production is well on it's way for episode 8 and we haven't seen episode 7 yet.[/QUOTE] Standard Practice these days really, of the top of my head you have Lord of the Rings, Harry potter and The Hobbit movies. There's more but i can't be bothered to go looking, but it makes sense if the cast and crew are ready to just crack on with it.

[QUOTE=ejonkou;48675218]It's pretty crazy to think that production is well on it's way for episode 8 and we haven't seen episode 7 yet.[/QUOTE] They've done this before for Star Wars. The scene at the end of Revenge of the Sith where Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are holding baby Luke looking at the binary sunset was filmed during the production of Attack of the Clones so they didn't have to return to Tunisia just for that one scene.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;48675875]I guess if they were filming outdoors they couldn't use all the safety features that a studio allows for [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MTDQA11.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Nah, they brought the same matresses

I still think it's great that they were filming in a natural location at all. It's a really refreshing change from the way the prequel trilogy was filmed, entirely in front of green screens in a tiny space.

[QUOTE=Drewsko;48684839][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqHh578EfrU&[/media][/QUOTE] I don't know why but I love how Lucas responds to that question. 'So I don't have to come back here'

That ending was just really awkward.

[QUOTE=djshox;48675666]thank you, it was bothering me too[/QUOTE] would of, could of, should of Is there any point in time and space where you could actually use any of those, I wonder?
