According to star Mark Hamill, filming in Ireland reminded him of an otherworldly feeling he hadn't felt since visiting Tunisia to film scenes on "Tatooine." He described the experience from the first film as being truly transported to another galaxy, so much so that it gave him chills. Hamill felt the same thing as they filmed on the Irish island called Skellig Michael, known as "Ahch-to" in The Last Jedi. Fans have only briefly seen the location at the end of The Force Awakens, but with Rey traveling to the planet of "Ahch-To" for training, the new film will feature the island frequently.
