New ‘Star Wars Episode VII’ Set Photos Reveal Creatures, Vehicles, And Extras
How highly-anticipated isStar Wars Episode VII? Celebrity gossip website TMZ is searching for answers. The site acquired around 40Star Wars 7set photos from the recent Abu Dhabi shoot (filming has since moved to stages in London), and in them you’ll see some massive new creatures, pieces of new vehicles, and dozens of different extras. There are definitely somespoilershere, but it’s pretty exciting stuff.
Beware – if you are trying to stay totally clear ofStar Wars 7spoilers, you probably don’t want to see these. There aren’t plot points or anything, but there are some reveals.
You can see the photosat this link on TMZ. We won’t post them here but we’ll discuss below.Spoiler warning.
The big takeaway is the huge rhino/pig creature that’s apparently wandering the streets of Tatooine. According to TMZ, “the new alien was manned by 5 men inside it’s belly … and was used in two scenes taking place in what looks like a Tatooine marketplace.” You can also see some massive scraps from ships, what may be some kind of restaurant (UPDATE – whichmay be based onthe art of Ralph McQuarrie), and a burning fire. The rest of the photos are selfies ofStar Warsextras, something J.J. Abrams is probably none too happy about.
Spoiler-phobes are probably gone by now, so here’s TMZ’s tweet for an idea.

What’s going on in these photos? Honestly, it doesn’t seem like much. Surely John Boyega and Daisy Ridley were walking around these sets, talking about something or other, but without them or video, it’s impossible to guess. In fact, we can’t be sure this is Tatooine at all. While Tatooine is an important, well-known planet, there are probably other desert planets in a galaxy far, far away. Still, it’s probably Tatooine.
