Unless you happen to be in line to become King of England some day, chances are you won't be lucky enough to score an invitation to the set of Star Wars: Episode VIII. Princes William and Harry were, however, and seemed to have a great time exploring Pinewood Studios, encountering the likes of Chewie, BB-8, Mark Hamill, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley (though not in costume as Luke, Finn and Rey).

There's some cool glimpses of a couple of the ships we'll be seeing in the follow-up to The Force Awakens, and it looks like the A-Wings are making a comeback. You'r guess is as good as mine where the severed Rey head is concerned.















Rey took her first steps into a larger world in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and will continue her epic journey with Finn, Poe, and Luke Skywalker in the next chapter of the continuing Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode VIII, which began principal photography at Pinewood Studios in London on February 15, 2016.

Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is written and directed by Rian Johnson and continues the storylines introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, welcomes back cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. New cast members will include Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Academy Award nominee Laura Dern, and talented newcomer Kelly Marie Tran.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is scheduled for release December 15, 2017.

The ship that Harry is in looks a bit like Obi-wan's old ship.

@TheFamousJMC - It's a classic A-Wing. Obi-Wan's star fighter was meant to resemble it.
