Star Wars: Andor is currently filming on location in Cleveleys, a small town near Lancashire, England and some fortunate fans have snapped some very intriguing pictures from the set.
The local Cleveleys News reveals giant green screens being erected on the set.

Some more shots at Anchorsholme this morning.
Trucks were seen trying to raise green screens high enough to block out the Norbreck Castle Hotel as it looked too squalid to appear as a feature on a devastated, dystopian, war-torn planet. pic.twitter.com/IsIP8ZgGyk

Cleveleys News also got a video of the site being dressed to seem like a galaxy far, far away.
More photos of the market stalls this afternoon. The beach is cordoned off, the palm trees are all upright again and the stalls are all uncovered now, suggesting filming at this end should start soon. pic.twitter.com/sNmHWM5d5H
