Star Wars Episode VIII hits theaters next year, and its director, Rian Johnson, has revealed today that they’re halfway through shooting the movie. He also shared a couple set photos that include an X-Wing and someone with a top-shaped helmet.
The director posted the photos on his Tumblr page along with the modified Army of Darkness quote “Good. Bad. I’m the guy with the microfiber sham.” Johnson added, “I can’t believe we’re halfway through the shoot. (We’re halfway through the shoot!)” You can check out the X-Wing below and the top-shaped helmet at the bottom of the article.
