Although we're not able to talk about The Force Awakens or the significance of Skellig Michael without spoiling it for you, it's safe to say the place will hold a special place in Star Wars lore for many years.
Here's Abrams talking about Ireland's place in Star Wars history as well as some fan reactions from last night's premiere at The Savoy, Dublin. JJ Abrams led a crew to the remote island off the coast of Kerry to film a key scene from The Force Awakens earlier in thie year. What's more, there's now confirmation that Rian Johnson has already filmed on Skellig Michael this year and will be returning to Ceann Sibeal in the near future for more filming.
