Return of the Jedi: Kingdom’s star quality shines again as Star Wars returns to Kerry

‘Star Wars’ is returning to the Kingdom with preparatory work for a fresh round of filming taking place on Sybil Head.

Locals in the area have noted the presence of security and the construction of new access points to the headland, while the Irish Film Board confirmed that permits had been provided for a film project in the area.

It emerged last year that producers behind the franchise had earmarked Ceann Sibéal in the western end of the Dingle Peninsula as suitable for scenes in the next part of the series, due to be released in 2017, with filming likely in the next couple of months.
