Entrepreneurial Force is strong in West Cork as Star Wars fever takes over

The posters say it best: “Episode VIII: A long time ago on a headland far, far away...”

A piece of West Cork will be forever be in a galaxy far, far away after beautiful Brow Head near Crookhaven became the latest location for the Star Wars series, entrancing locals who, since Monday evening, have been on starwatch amid expectations that Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, and other actors in the sci-fi epic are in the area.

The brow was certainly furrowed yesterday as the West Cork summer weather continued to baffle and confound, going from blue sky and sunshine to a carpet of grey and soggy drizzle. Like the Force, it surrounded us all.
