Photos and Videos From the 'Episode VIII' Filming in Dubrovnik

Filming has begun for Star Wars Episode VIII in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  Over the past few weeks we've seen the sets being constructed on the city streets in preparation for the shoot.  Now, cast and crew have arrived and over the past 24 hours lots of new photos have emergedof extras in costume on the sets (we'll get to those in a moment).  Director Rian Johnson was also photographed arriving on set (in case there was any doubt the sets were built for Star Wars).  Check out that photo below (via dnevnik.hr),

Now onto the stuff that may be considered spoilers.  These next photos are by no means major spoilers, but they do show extras in costume on set.  So if you are trying to avoid all spoilers, stop reading now.  This is your SPOILER ALERT!

There looks to be some very interesting things going on in Dubrovnik, though there are still no signs of any main characters (granted we rarely saw any of the main cast in set pics during the production of The Force Awakens).  The costumes we see in the photos and videos above look to be very much in the same style as the police/guards we saw on set yesterday.  The video of the stuntman is also very interesting.  It looks like he's either being thrown from an explosion (to be added later) or, perhaps, being Force pushed.  Also, what's the deal with that giant horse thing?  Is it just purely set decoration?  Or could it play a part in whatever is going on on this planet?  We'll find out December 15th, 2017.
