The latest Star Wars film is to be made in the UK, producer Lucasfilm has said.

The seventh movie in the sci-fi series is due to start production next year and is scheduled for release in 2015.

Filming on previous Star Wars also took place in Britain at studios including Elstree, Shepperton and Leavesden.

Chancellor George Osborne met executives from Disney-owned Lucasfilm in London earlier this year to discuss the plans and the production is thought to be eligible for a tax break.

Interesting news and would be a nice replacement for having Harry Potter production round these parts. Bit intrigued about the tax break though..

Pleased to see more cultural pieces being made in Britain.

As for tax breaks, cut taxes across the board - period. As Milton Friedman said, I am for any tax cut, anywhere possible and at any time.
