"Star Wars Episode 8" spoilers reveal that Disney and Lucasfilm are using drones to shoot down paparrazi spies during the filming in Croatia. After news broke out that "Star Wars Episode 8" spoilers have leaked out aerial photos of the very open and public set in Croatia, securities were implemented to ensure spying doesn't happen during the filming of the eighth installment.
Making Star Wars has explained that there is an elite "Star Wars" team that will willingly go to drone warfare with people that are utilizing drones to get aerial shots of the cast and set of Episode 8. The company has reportedly hired 600 guards to patrol the area.
MoS Croatia posted on their website in their local language the lengths the team went through to protect any spoilers from leaking out to the public. The description when translated to English explains that several locations will be used for filming scenes on Mar. 9 to 16 which is why there was a need for 600 guards. It could also be possible that one of the movie's main stars, Daisy Ridley will be walking on the set.
The elite team will have drones of their own patroling the area. The plot for the area is said to be a "chase" scene. The walls and windows were covered in cardboard like materials that will most likely be enhanced with CGI.
This shows to be a pretty expensive and very critical form of protection. Fans can only wonder what super top secret "Star Wars Episode 8" spoilers can Abrams and the rest of the franchise be hiding that's so big?
"Star Wars: Episode 8" is already in production and the movie is scheduled to hit theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.
