Daisy Ridley basically confirmed the beginning of filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII on a new Instagram post. The 23-year-old actress, who played the heroine, Rey, in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, hashtagged her photo "#VIII."


Some might notice just the huge numerals on the bottom of the photo; however, Star Wars fans are very, very observant and they observed the first two lines in the paper. They read: "As we begin this tremendous...appreciation for your..."

The post appears to be the script for Episode VIII, but it could also be just some notice regarding the highly anticipated film. In retrospect, the cast of Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens had been restricted of bringing their scripts home. It's likely that the paper on Ridley's photo isn't the script at all.

Nevertheless, the post does pretty much confirm some kind of production ongoing for Episode VIII.

Last week, Lucasfilm announced that production on Episode VIII will begin in February in London. Disney also announced the movie having script rewrites, hence its delayed release of December 2017. The original script reportedly needed adjustments for the purpose of focusing on another new female lead and villain.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought a multitude of mysteries in its wake, leaving many fans baffled yet excited for the eighth episode.

Personally, I can't wait until December 15 to find out to some mysteries like who left Rey on Jakku, how Kylo Ren went over the Dark Side, and why Luke decided to live in seclusion. I guess I just have to rely on theories like this to answer that and of follow Yoda's words: "Patience you must have my young padawan."

Star Wars: Episode VIII will be released in theaters on December 15, 2017. The film will be helmed by Rian Johnson. It stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, and Adam Driver.
