UPDATE! Photos from a Second Episode VIII Filming Location in Dubrovnik, Plus More Photos from the Main Street!

Rector's Palace

StarWarsDubrovnik managed to get some photos from the Rector’s Palace as the second filming location in Dubrovnik for Star Wars: Episode VIII. This time for an interior shoot…

 

So far we’ve seen photos from the main street of Dubrovnik being transformed for the Episode VIII filming, as well as some shots with a landspeeder on rails, backing up the rumors for a possible chase scene happening on the streets.

 

Now StarWarsDubrovnik have photos from the preparation of the filming in the Rector’s Palace, one of the most attractive landmarks in the city. The Palace has been already announced as a filming location but with no activities happening until now. According to StarWarsDubrovnik the renovation happening in the Palace has been halted and the interior re-done for an upcoming interior shoot.

 

Set 01 Set 02 Set 04 Set 05

 

According to previous reports there will be another test shoot tomorrow, so stay tuned…

 

 

UPDATE!

 

The guys from StarWarsDurovnik.com also updated their gallery with photos from the main street and discovered several smaller alleys that have been changed for the filming. Here are just some of the photos:

 

Set 01 Set 02 Set 03 Set 04

 

The next photos are taken from a smaller alleys with just slight fixtures that many people won’t even notice. The fact that they did a makeover on such long distance of streets and alleys could definitely mean that there will be some running around from the main characters during the filming.

 

Set 05 Set 06 Set 07

 

If you want to see the full gallery make sure to go to StarWarsDurovnik.com. These guys are really doing some great reporting from the epicenter in Dubrovnik.

            Please not…
            Star Wars use their own alphabet to not remind our culture.
            So please don´t use something so specific as renacentist classic language.

            No, I would say it is a composite order.
            I wrote that when there was only the first picture, that seems composite.
            The following looks Corinthian.

            Star Wars universe was not always futuristic.

            Also this belongs to Star Wars. Because we already have this style in Star Wars.

            Also Star Wars have galaxy. And galaxy have billions and billions of planets. It would be stupid that all of them look the same.

            It is about the art the design.
            If it seems so specific Earth art design I don´t feel I am watching a Star Wars movie.
            Classical language has been so used and abused in western countries, that I don´t feel I am watching a movie about a different galasy.

        I don´t like classicism in Star Wars, I feel clasicism does not belong to that Universe.
        Maz Kanata Castle seemed Italian Futurism of the 20´s, I liked it.
        Skeelig Island is so cool, it belongs to Star Wars.
        Jakku design was fine for me too.
        Starkiller base was great.

        Naboo and classic language, I feel doesn´t belong to that Galaxy.

            British is not classical. Or not only.
            Classical orders come from Greece, Romans used them as decoration, and Rennaisance in Italy rescued them.
            They arrived to England by Palladio/Serlio writings 2 or 3 centuries later.

          Maz kanata was literally a medieval castle, lol; what I always think of when I see futurism is an abstract painting that has little to do with Maz’s castle. Plus, this is not classical architecture, it seems more reinassance-gothic architecture.

            Well, it depends how many medieval castles have you visited.
            Google Futurism architecture. It reminded me it more than castles.
            Hehe, Rennaisance is classical. Nothing to do with gothic, that is a renacentist patio.

          • March 3, 2016 at 8:57 pm
            Permalink

            I literally live next to 5 medieval castle ruins, and I was referring to mostly the interiors.
            I googled “italian 20s futurist architecture”, and found only slight resemblance with Maz’s castle. Renaisance is a sort of attempt to copy classical, but also has many romanic influences (e.g. Brunelleschi thought that romanic architecture was made by ancient romans), and finally yes, that’s a renaissance patio, but I was looking at the doorway in the third pic that reminded me of a gothic cathedral doorway, my bad.

            Well, look for Antonio Sant´Elia sketches, some are really similar to the castle outside. They called it Castle, so what can I say more.
            Yes the interior look like a castle.

            I think you are confusing terms, sadly English use the word Romanesque to refer what in other countries is “Románico”, but I think I get your point.
            Rennaisance recover classical orders as Greeks and Romans defined them and also add some following the same rules.
            Rennaisance is all about proportion and naturalism.
            You cannot say all that about Romanesque. They coincide in the use of semicircular arch, or the vaults.
            Brunelleschi used many influences, even Santa Maria del Fiore has Gothic elements and construction.
            Not later renacentist architecture, they gradually separated from middle age elements.

            When I wrote all that there was only one picture the first one.
            I feel that classical orders has been used and abused too much in our culture, like they were the bible.
            I always felt that Star Wars was free of them, because that reason.
            Not in Naboo of course, but not too much people really love the PT, and I felt that art design was related to that.

            There is a similar confusion in English with modern and modernism.
            I am Spanish, buongiorno!
            In Italy probably the columns and Chapiters early romanesque “recycled” for Christian temples were “greatest quality”,in Spain they recycled anything they found.
            Also romanesque produced original Chapiters and columns, not related to orders, many of them really interesting even funny.

            May be you are right.
            But I cannot see it in Star Wars.
            I loved the art design of the first trilogy, all the worlds were clever design.
            I liked some art of the prequels, but not the part were they used a mix of classic and other mix of decorative styles.

            You can build an airport using brick walls, arab or romans ceramic roof tiles, chapiters and architrabes, but don´t blame if I critizise it.

      I’d be curious to know the statistics on how many people don’t like the idea of, or get upset over having Classical architecture in a Star Wars movie…?

      I’m going to make an educated guess and say the people who care about this are so far beyond being outliers that they wouldn’t even register on the graph if you were to plot the amount of people who care and don’t care about this.

      I just find it funny how extremely picky, and cynical some Star Wars “fans” are. I’m a huge fan myself, but sometimes this fanbase can really be irritating and ridiculous.

        Fanbase can’t even decide what they want. My point is, it’s a galaxy with many different worlds, aliens, cultures. It can have things like this with the SW touches they are adding. I’d love to see what the dude commenting about it not being SW would have them do that is, in his mind, SW.

        Yes, please do the poll for me.
        Lets design it:

        1. We show them this pic, the courtyard, patio, with the Chapiters, the arch, the columns…
        2. And we show them any picture of Starkiller Base, any.

        Then we ask, what of these belong to Star Wars?
        A. 1
        B. 2
        C. Both.
        D. None.
        E. I don´t care, go to hell man, you are irritating and ridiculous.

        You have your desired stats. Let me know when you finish.
        I really don´t care too much how many people like this picture for Star Wars, or how many doesn´t, I just don´t.
        It seems important for you.

        With the same pictures Do a second poll, it seems you are smart and you like polls.

        What of these belong to game of thrones?

          I’m the one who cares?!

          You’ve been commenting on nearly everyone’s posts saying things like I don’t like this idea or I don’t like the looks of greek/Roman columns in Star Wars.
          I’m not the one trying to defend against everyone why Star Wars shouldn’t have classical architecture.

          The facts are, if you care about them, that these are just pictures of where they most likely will be shooting scenes. These sets may or may not look anything like they do in the finished film.

          It just seems like you got too carried away with expressing your opinion and that’s fine, I do it too
          However, it’s all for naught because we have no idea what will be used, what won’t be used, and how it will look in the end. So, it’s just too much concluding based off nothing but potential shooting locations.

    Looks like it could be Naboo, personally I don’t mind a bit of Classiscism as long as it’s real. And this all looks very real.

    Okay the way this is shaping up I’ll admit this could very well be Naboo, but it’s different looking enough to be some place entirely different. Mostly, it’s just really disappointing that they don’t seem to be too concerned about coming up with cool new environments, every location we’ve seen so far in this new trilogy looks like some place we’ve already been to, except for Ahch-To.

      You had me until “not cool or new”, this place is 100% certified awesome, and what I like about it is that it’s rough around the edges, it’s nice, but you can definitely tell people have been actually living in this city for hundreds of years. Not like Italy [basis for Naboo] where the locations were kept pristine and preserved, this city is actually lived-in and really should have been in SW years ago.

      The Visual Dictionary says that Snoke’s home base is mobile and constantly on the move. They could change that, but I doubt he has a planetary home base as a mobile station is a more interesting idea and more secure for him.

    If it is Naboo then it has to be Palpatines old home. Luke & Rey are looking for a Sith relic before Kylo gets his hands on it?

      That would be the only explanation for Naboo. Otherwise, what’s the point to go out of their way to make a trip to Naboo? Luke saying to Rey, “So this is where my mother grew up, sure is fancy, aint it?”

        Well Luke’s and Leia mother are from Naboo. Luke’s and Leia living family ( aunt, grandmother, grandfather, cousins ) are from Naboo.

        Survivors from Alderaan are living on Naboo. And Leia is their princess.

        Soo they have alot of reasons to go on Naboo.

          I won’t lie, I would think it would be cool to see Luke and Rey (given that Rey is his daughter) tour the planet of their family’s origins, but given that they’ll be spending a lot of time training on Ahch-To while the First Order is building itself back up and the Knights of Ren are readying themselves to wreak havoc, I don’t see them making time to make a trip to Naboo unless there’s some very important jedi relic for them to uncover.

            Or maybe Leia is the one who will go on the planet.
            Maybe Naboo is the new capital of the Republic.
            Rey and Luke are not the only characters in the movie.

      May be Rey and Palpatine are related.
      But that scenario could be for anyone else in the movie. May be Leia?

    I would love to see Naboo again. One of my favorite Star Wars planets.
    Maybe some different city on Naboo.

    At the risk of sounding like a negatroll, I really don’t care for the Nabooish aestethics (sorry for the probably butchered spelling). I do like Clone11038’s idea though – what if Chewie all this time was a prince of his people (classic story for a classic saga)

        A shitty fanfic that just ignores that fact that we already got some of Chewbacca’s backstory, and he was a military leader of his people during the Clone Wars and best pals with Yoda. Although I love the idea that wookiee royalty lives in some kind of palace that totally doesn’t fit in with the rest of their cities which are built on the tops of trees.

        It’s possible that some of the high-ranking leader of the New Republic actually knew of the First Order’s intentions and decided to make an emergency plan in case if something happens to Hosnian Prime.
        Remember that this Republic has a transitional capital.

      Naboo is a big planet though. We only saw one city.
      But you’re probably right.

        Not so, there were different locations outside of the city in Episode 2 and 3, and they were still easily recognizable as Naboo. And otherwise, your point is a little weak since Star Wars is known for having uniform planets that fit a particular easily recognizable style.

          True but the Lake Como setting in AotC was quite different to Theed in TPM. So these photos could be different again & located in another city. Possible but unlikely.

            Doubt it. The PT are their movies. They own them. Right now they’re squeezing alot of PT references into Rebels.

            “Without the Jedi there can be no balance to the force” was one of the first lines of TFA. They brought Ewan back to do Kenobi voice. We know which other movies talked about balance in the force.

            There’s a lot of PT stuff in EPVII as well, everyone saying that Disney is hiding the PT are the same people that say that the PT’s are the greatest movies ever made.

    I adore the mix of future and renaissance aesthetic! I hope the whole movie takes place in this doorway! (lol JK- but they do look awesome).

    I don’t think its naboo just because we haven’t returned to any planets yet in the new trilogy and Disney has shown they aren’t afraid to create similar planet to existing ones so unless they are going for the palatine connection I don’t see them returning there. Plus they already went back in the comics, which dosn’t mean they can’t, but it seems less likely. To me it looks different enough that I’m totally fine with it being a totally new world, or, even better, a world that already exists in canon but has never been seen before.

    Somewhat random but… anyone play Star War Galaxies back in the day? The interior shots of that palace/house are nearly identical to the naboo homes featured in that game. Not even kidding. Maybe it’s just a popular architecture/design but I literally had deja vu looking at it.
