Further details about where the shoot was taking place and which of the movie’s stars were involved are not known. The film slate does appear to be speckled with sand, leading some to believe that filming could be taking place in Abu Dhabi, which will reportedly serve as Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine.

New cast member John Boyea also Tweeted the same photo, adding, “Day one of episode 7! Here we go!”
John’s co-stars include Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher – who will reprise their roles from the franchise’s original trilogy – along newcomers with Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis and Max von Sydow.
