Amid wild rumors of Mark Hamill’s near death in Ireland, we now have video confirmation of the actor being present for filming Star Wars: Episode VIII.
For the past couple of days or so, Hamill and director Rian Johnson have been filming Episode VIII scenes at Skellig Michael, an island off the coast of Southern Ireland, which is also featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The local town, Portmagee, served as the temporary home to the cast and crew, and now a news report surfaces featuring Mark Hamill.
As the film recently finished shooting in Ireland, a local news crew spotted Mark Hamill pouring beer at a local pub, the Bridge Bar.
Worth a note is that Hamill has apparently shaved off his beard for Episode VIII.
Check out the video above for more.
The untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII has a May 26, 2017 release.
