    For now maybe but I'm sure their paths will cross later in the movie.

    I don't think it rules out anything. There was a rumor floating around a week or so ago that Del Toro is in Dubrovnik, although we know how those pesky rumors are. I also read speculation that there will be a chase scene at night filmed on that set.

    It was also said that this could be where the closing scenes could be shot with Luke Skywalker and Rey ...

    Picture this: Admiral Thrawn chases Luke and Rey through the streets of Space Dubrovnik.

    I am very ok with this.

    Something I could think of happening: Luke Skywalker & Rey are being chased by literally everyone and they're running. Rey tells him to split up and Rey, like Anakin Skywalker in AOTC, finds a speeder which happens to be the exact model of Luke's old one. She gets in the way of Luke and the bay guysand tells him to get in...when he asks what took her so long, she says, "I had troubling finding a speeder I liked ."

    First, it only partially resembles Luke's old speeder, and second, they did a decent job of not rehashing dialogue from the other films in TFA, and I hope to God that Johnson doesn't change that, especially not with one of the most eye-roll worthy moments of the whole PT. :p

    Notice the track to the side?... It actually "rides" on top of it:

    So the speeder will have some range of motion.

    Just watch it will be within 5 years as a second expansion to the new Star Wars Land...it looks just like a next-gen/cleaner version of Luke Skywalker's speeder .

    Mark Hamill speaking at Cambridge University last night as a guest of the student union. Nothing new on Episode 8 but interesting to see the beard progressing and some interesting stuff on George offering him and Carrie roles in the sequel trilogy (9:28). Oh, and always a pleasure to see Mark talking (about anything).

    I remember him mentioning George offering them roles as recently as 2009 during George's interview at CV back in 2010 where Mark and Carrie made surprise appearances at the panel (I was in the very front row sitting next to Seth Green :D) and I don't remember what was said about VII - IX but that Lucas had approached them about it and everyone had gone crazy .

    This, along with the two other titles floating around, are fake. Trust me on this one. We're not dealing with The Ancient Fear all over again.

    EDIT: And Pablo Hidalgo has basically come out and stated that for the time being, the movie's title is just Episode VIII. 'Nuff said.
