Star Wars to awaken force in Donegal for newest installment

Stars Wars’ love affair with Ireland continues with scenes for the new movie to be shot in Donegal.

Location scouts secretly visited Ireland’s most northerly point at Malin Head last October. It has now been confirmed that Lucasfilm is expected to return to Ireland in May to shoot at locations in the area.

Minister of State at the Department of Arts Joe McHugh confirmed that he was aware negotiations are at an advanced stage to film scenes in the area.
