The huts are round. I was talking about the bricks that make the huts.
There are no squared bricks on skellig. Now or then. It's just random slate cobbled together.


Trailer is about to drop. Don't get excited. It's just a condensed version of the first apparently.
The point being, in the movie, the place isn't called "Skellig Michael" it is some fictional place. So they can doctor it up all they want, it isn't a portrayal of an actual place, but rather a made up place in a galaxy far, far away. Whatever tropical place they filmed in for Rogue One didn't have a big Empire Citadel Tower there in real life, but the people that live there aren't complaining that the director got it wrong

Film crews should not be traipsing around there.

Just take your aerial shots and reproduce it somewhere else.

Definitely have a point.

I'm sure they have super strict rules and the money spent filming on the area is probably invaluable in maintaining the historical sites.

Look up 'wild Atlantic way' and come back to me. Tourism ahoy!


They pump the whole west coast all while restricting who gets to see its best parts.

That's just what they do.

Dime's being reactionary and weird. There is A new trailer that is a shorter edit of the first. But there will also be a second full new trailer in September. At least, that's the word right now. Maybe October. But probably September.

They've really dropped the ball on marketing this thing! I mean is Jyn even in this? Is a continuation of Rogue One?

I love Rian Johnson. I need to go back and watch Brick again. See if my new crush on him makes the movie better the second time around.

So, Porgs, huh?

“If you go to Skellig at the right time of year, it’s just covered in puffins, and they’re the most adorable things in the world,” Johnson tells EW.
