By now, you'll have seen the wondrous images from Malin Head of the iconic Millennium Falcon touching down.
In fact, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley AND Mark Hamill have all landed in Belfast for filming in Star Wars: Episode VIII. As we know, Skellig Michael doubled for Luke Skywalker's reclusive hideway of Ahch-To, but now it seems that Malin Head will also be doing likewise.
However, we're not entirely sure if the location scouts for Lucasfilm did a thorough enough job of finding strange and wondrous locales to shoot in across Ireland. With that in mind, we've got up with some poorly made mock-ups to show just how amazing it'd be if the Millennium Falcon decided to rock up outside say...
THE FOUNDRY, CO. CARLOW
Expect the music to be Max Rebo's Cantina song and Westlife on repeat.
IL VULCANO PIZZA, WESTPORT
Very decent pizza and there's a Port in the name so you could dock the Millennium Falcon really easy. Change the name to WestStarPort and you're golden.
THE BERNARD SHAW, RICHMOND ST.

Han Solo drove an old banger, hung around with a ridiculously hairy dude, wore a waistcoat and never really seemed to have a job. He would absolutely fit in at the Bernard Shaw.
THE GRAND SOCIAL / HA'PENNY BRIDGE, DUBLIN
If not the Bernard Shaw, then the Grand Social. Come on, like.
KENT STATION, CORK
Rebel County. Rebel Alliance. This one just writes itself.
THE BAGEL PLACE ON THE CORNER OF MIDDLE ABBEY ST. AND LIFFEY ST.
IT EVEN LOOKS LIKE A BAGEL.
