Star Wars Begins Shooting In Abu Dhabi
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The rumors began swirling a long time ago. Now the United Arab Emirates is finally acknowledging it is standing in for George Lucas’ galaxy far, far away.
A media company backed by the Gulf federation’s capital of Abu Dhabi announced Wednesday that the next installment of “Star Wars” is currently filming in the oil-rich Middle Eastern emirate.
It was the first definitive word from the Mideast nation that filming had begun. Officials previously had refused to confirm any involvement with the seventh installment of the galactic franchise, even after a government-owned paper reported on the preparations.
