The Untitled Star Wars Han Solo Film Will Partially Shoot at Three Peaks in Italy!
The Italian site Guerrestellari.net is reporting that a partial shoot for the Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film will take place in Italy. This info very well matches with this report from a few months back, when Italy was first mentioned as a potential filming destination together with the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. Read on to find out more…
Guerrestellari.net reports that the filming will take place in the Italian location of The Three Peaks of the Dolomites. The location is among the most famous peaks in the East of South Tyrol.
No further information is present at this time, but surely that’s yet another breathtaking location added to the galaxy far far away. Three Peaks is very popular for hiking and bicycle tourism. It also has ski resorts, but it’s unlikely that they will film there because of the snow, especially during this time of the year.

qualcuno pur dovrà fare i leak!
Se ti scappa di fare un leak, ricordati poi di tirare l’acqua ;-P
From this and the other location news, I’m getting the sense that a substantial portion of the film will show Han etc. wandering through a barren landscape. Any chance that the mysterious film on which Lord & Miller are modeling the Han Solo movie is a western, with lots of moody shots of rocky dry terrain a la the Mojave Desert (where many Hollywood westerns were filmed)?
I always preferred the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns that were mainly shot on location in Spain.
Han – lighter western?
It definitely fits using western aspects even more-so through Han’s character (gunfighter).
I expect this western to be on the lighter side – capers with his buddy Lando/Chewie.
Obi-Wan – darker western?
Sticking with the western theme, my dream is an Obi-Wan dark western. Not that they’d allow rated R, but say hard PG-13+ & give us the gritty side of a Lightsaber in a dark character drama like Logan pulled off.
Good point. I didn’t have in mind a dark western, but it will probably have its dramatic moments, and stunning landscape shots and quiet moments can add dynamics to an otherwise light movie…
I do believe there is 4 weeks of filming in Southampton during May.
at the same time the Mud Troopers will be in action at pinewood studios which is supposed to be an epic battle.
I’m still waiting on those Lego Beach Troopers to be made cannon.
