Earlier today it was announced that "Star Wars: Episode VII" will be filming in Abu Dhabi for four weeks. The will be filming scenes set on Tatoonie. For those non Star Wars junkies out there Tatoonie is the home of Luke and Anakin Skywalker and featured in Star Wars Episode I and Episode IV. For those movies they originally filmed in Tunisia which is in North Africa. Disney reportedly chose Abu Dhabi for security reasons, preferring to steer clear of possible political unrest in North Africa.
After filming in Abu Dhabi is finished they will film at their primary shooting location which is outside of London. While we know that Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew will return in the roles of Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca and Adam Driver is slated to play the villain, the rest of the cast remains a secret.
