1. Cleveleys Beach
Despite the production company, believed to be E&E Industries, keeping tight-lipped, it seems that Star Wars has indeed come to Cleveleys. The series being filmed is believed to be Andor, the prequel to hit film Rogue One, following the character Cassian Andor five years before the events of the flick. Road closures remain in place on sections of the Prom until May 11 while filming takes place. Photo: Philip Platt
2. Canary Wharf, London
The modern Canary Wharf station was featured in Rogue One where Jyn Erso is being chased by stormtroopers. Location scout David O’Reilly said at the time: "We needed a space transport hub and it looks so futuristic, we felt Canary Wharf station would be perfect."
3. Puzzlewood, Coleford
One of the most well-known UK filming locations for Star Wars is Puzzlewood. Scenes from The Force Awakens include interactions between Rey and Kylo Ren after she escapes Maz Kanata's castle. The ancient woodland site has also been featured in Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Merlin. Photo: Stuart Herbert
4. RAF Cardington, Bedfordshire
The Cardington Sheds - which were former Royal Air Force airship hangers - have been used extensively over the years for films. Most notably to Star Wars fans, the sheds have been used as the exteriors of the Yavin IV base in A New Hope and Rogue One.
5. Derwentwater, Cumbria
Derwentwater, a large body of water in the Lake District, was featured in The Force Awakens. Flight scenes of the Millennium Falcon and X-fighters can be spotted flying over the water. Also in the Lake District is Thirlmere, which featured in the films too.
6. RAF Greenham Common, Berkshire
RAF Greenham Common was used in two Star Wars films as the base of the Resistance on the planet D'Qar. Fans can spot it in both the 2015 film The Force Awakens and 2017 film The Last Jedi.
