Though Rian Johnson's Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently filming in Pinewood Studios, no one's allowed to visit the highly secretive production ... unless you're the Duke of Cambridge and his brother, Prince Harry. Though normally we mere mortals are not privy to such behind-the-scenes tours, Ye Olde Royal Twitter Account made a fine selection of images from the visit available to the common man.
Thanks to these images we can confirm that Star Wars: Episode VIII will, in fact, include X-Wings, BB-8, Chewbacca, lightsabers and Luke Skywalker! (Wookie hugs may or may not be a major plot point in the next movie.) In addition to Chewbacca, the Royals also hung out with Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, John Boyega, and director Johnson himself.
Check out the behind-the-scenes images of the Royals visiting Pinewood Studios with the cast and crew of Star Wars: Episode VIII (via Twitter):
