'Star Wars: Episode 8' spoilers: Scene description of 'black knights'

A new scene description of “Star Wars: Episode 8” has leaked online. The scene involving “black knights” was filmed at Ceann Sibeal, which will stand in for the planet Ahch-To. A death is said to be featured in this scene.

[Spoiler alert]

According to a report by Making Star Wars, a scene filmed at Ceann Sibeal involved a group of “black knights.” It is speculated that these are the Knights of Ren who were seen in “The Force Awakens.” The villain Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) was not spotted in this sequence, although he is expected to make an appearance on this planet later on and fight with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Rey (Daisy Ridley).

In the scene, the knights enter the planet, but it is more difficult for them when compared to how Rey and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) got in. The ship that brought the knights crashes and one of them appears to have died.

All the others knights wearing their helmets approach the crash site, which is filled with smoke, and kneel around it. The report speculates that this could also be a scene where an important character in “Star Wars: Episode 8” enters.

Although it is confirmed that there will be smoke around which the Knights of Ren will kneel, it is not clear why there is smoke there. Some believe that this could be a funeral pyre, but the report says that that is highly unlikely.

Meanwhile, new pictures and a video from the production set have leaked online and have been posted on Making Star Wars. According to the report the scaffolding seen in the video is there to help the cast and crew to get to the shore line, where the actual filming is said to be taking place.

More “Star Wars: Episode 8” spoilers and leaks are expected as the filming continues. The movie is being directed by Rian Johnson and will be released on Dec. 15, 2017 in Australia.
