More pictures from the set of “Star Wars: Episode 8” have leaked online. The pictures show a fish-like alien and more extras dressed as aliens. An action sequence was also filmed on the set and pictures of the scene being filmed have leaked online.
[Spoiler alert]
Pictures posted on Comic Book News show some of the extras on the set, waiting to film their scenes. Apart from some of the actors who play human characters, there a few extras who can be seen playing aliens. The actors were standing on the sidelines and waiting for the rain to subside.
A prosthetic head of a huge cat-like creature can also be seen in one of the photos. Large alien creatures have been traditionally used as beasts of burden in the previous movies from the franchise.
More pictures from the set have been posted on Star Wars Underworld. The scene apparently is about a crash involving a speeder. The pictures show actors hurriedly leaving the speeder, moments before there is a small explosion at the back.
None of the main cast members of “Star Wars: Episode 8” have been spotted on the set so far. One of the leaked pictures from the set of the movie shows a man and a woman riding an alien horse like creature. There has been some speculation that this is a scene of Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) riding together and the actors are their stunt doubles.
It is still not clear which new planet Dubrovnik is standing in for. The J.J. Abrams movie started the trend of expanding the list of known planets in the fictitious galaxy, by introducing the new planet named Jakku.
“Star Wars: Episode 8” will be introducing a whole new set of characters. Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Leia), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) and Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux) are some of the cast members who will be reprising their roles in the forthcoming movie.
