Star Wars: Cloaked In Secrecy

One film that has become a very closely guarded secret in Hollywood is the new Star Wars Episode VII.

It now appears that portions of the new movie will be shot in Abu Dhabi - as photos of a film set being built in the dunes near the resort of Qasr Al Sarat are similar to Tatooine, the desert-like home of  Luke Skywalker. Tunisia was used as the setting in the earlier Star Wars films, but the current political situation there is not favorable for film making, so it appears that Abu Dhabi got the nod.

Since Disney Studios announced their plans for three additional episodes of the space saga to be made, there has been questions as to where the first installment would be filmed and who would be cast in the leading roles.  It has been pretty much determined that the original trio of actors: Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) will appear in the new film.  Their appearances will be a huge plus for stalwart fans and regular moviegoers alike.  To date, the only character that Disney has officially confirmed to return is the robot R2-D2.

With a $200+ million budget Episode VII should be quite the movie experience, but fans are very put-off. Star Wars' fan website, theforce.net, has expressed displeasure with Disney's very secret approach to details regarding the new film.  It is known that the film's director, J.J Abrams, was given full access to George Lucas's personal notes detailing what he envisioned for Episodes VII, VIII, and IX of the saga. Lucas always planned for nine films, so his notes are invaluable and Abrams and his team have had several Q and A sessions with Lucas regarding his storyline.  Lucas had previously stated that, "Only two of the main characters will appear in all nine films, and they are the robots, R2-D2 and C-3PO. In effect, the whole story is told through their eyes".

Star Wars Episode VII is due to be released in December 2015.
