Making Star Wars take a look at the distinct possibility that Episode IX will be filming at Cardington Sheds, where the Massassi temple was recreated for Rogue One.
My mind immediately began to question if they’re returning to the site of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story base? While it is a long shot, it could be worth a little speculation at this early stage. Back during the production of The Force Awakens, the resistance base was Massassi Temple in a lot of concept pieces. Then in The Last Jedi we saw that Crait was actually a long lost rebel base with forgotten equipment used to fight The First Order in the final battle of the film. Could the resistance be using former rebel bases to pivot from The First Order in this film? It is probably unlikely but it is always fun to speculate that maybe those early ideas we saw working in The Last Jedi could still be ideas that are extrapolated upon for Star Wars: Episode: IX.
It’s a BIG arena to film in, so it could be set up to be anywhere they want it to be, but with the history of Massassi being shot there before it could indicate a return to one of the original planetary locations from the saga.
