'Star Wars 7': Ice Planet Confirmed, Mountain And Snow Scenes Filmed
A user who goes by the name of vinsanity tipped Starwars7news through the site's message board about Roger Moore's visit to the Pinewood Studios set of the movie. According to the report, the former James Bond actor confirmed in a BBC interview that an Ice Planet will be featured in "Star Wars: Episode VII."
"The day before last, I know we stopped by the office, and I went up to see--on a very closed, secret set--my friend J. J. Abrams, who is directing Star Wars," he told host Graham Norton. Roger Morre was later asked on what cast and crew were filming during his visit. He claimed "they were filming something with a lot of mountains and snow."
However, the actor, who according to Movieweb starred in the Star Wars-inspired "Moonraker," refused to divulge further details on the production. "But I'm assigned to secrecy," he said in the interview. (Listen to the interview from BBC from the 1:48:50 time stamp and ending around 1:50:00.)
Previous leaked plot details from Badass Digest somehow coincide with the supposed existence of the Ice Planet in "Star Wars: Episode VII." Chewbacca and Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon's pilots, reportedly went on a quest to search for the missing Jedi Master. There have been many speculations claiming Luke Skywalker has been missing for a total of 30 years since "Return of the Jedi." According to Badass Digest, Chewbacca and Han Solo will venture into different locations in their search.Some of these locations, according to the site, include an Ice Planet where some massive weapons of destruction are being built. These weapons are said to be so powerful it can wipe out an entire solar system.
Additionally, starwars7news previously reported about an incident that happened back in May involving the "Star Wars 7" crew. According to the report, a helicopter encountered an accident while scenes were being filmed in the glaciers of Iceland. Fortunately, no one got hurt, but the helicopter was reportedly a wreck.
Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams has been very cautious when revealing details about "Star Wars: Episode VII." Despite all the supposed plot details and set photos that have circulated online, the movie director has managed to keep the production in its state of secrecy. "Star Wars: Episode VII" opens in U.S. cinemas on Dec. 18, 2015.
