Rogue One Filming locations were used around the world. In Iceland, the crew shot in Reynisfjara, and around the mountains of Hjörleifshöfði and Hafursey at Mýrdalssandur, which were used to represent Lah'mu and Eadu.[73][74][75][76] Also used were the Krafla area with its volcanic crater[77] and around Lake Mývatn's rock formations.[78] The islands of Gan and Baresdhoo of the Laamu Atoll in the Maldives, as well as RAF Bovingdon, were used to represent Scarif.[79][80][81] Wadi Rum in Jordan was used to represent Jedha.[82][83][84] Pymmes Park in Edmonton, London was also used for location filming,[85] and scenes set on Yavin 4 were filmed at RAF Cardington.[74][81] Gareth Edwards selected the London Underground's Canary Wharf station[86] as a location for a chase scene in an Imperial base; the location shoot took place between midnight and 4 am, when the station was closed to the public.[87]
Star Wars The franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope), which became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. It was followed by two successful sequels, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), all together constituting the original Star Wars trilogy. A prequel trilogy was released between 1999 and 2005, albeit to mixed reactions from both critics and fans. A more-recent third trilogy continues the story decades after Return of the Jedi, beginning in 2015 with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The first eight films were nominated for Academy Awards, with wins going to the first two films released. The franchise has been commercially successful, with a combined box office revenue of over US$8.5 billion,[2] making it the second highest-grossing film series.[3] Theatrical spin-off films include Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018).
