The force grows strong again.

A series of photos have emerged from the ultra-secretive Abu Dhabi set of Star Wars: Episode VII and although none of the franchise’s big stars put in an appearance, the pictures offer some encouraging first signs of what fans can expect from the new movie.

Director J.J. Abrams began shooting the highly anticipated film last month and while little is known about the script, the photos suggest a back to basics style to filming, shunning the unpopular CGI-heavy approach of George Lucas’ prequels.

The photos reveal many encouraging signs for fans of the original trilogy. Abu Dhabi is believed to be a stand-in for the desert planet of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s home planet.

Are they going back to Rotoscoping, modelmaking etc, should be good for the hardcore original trilogy fans if so. I like the real, modelmade look.

I'm certain there's a story behind that! Could explain the absence.

I'm anxiously awaiting the new movie, but I'm not going to let my expectations get to high as I've done in the past. The fall won't be as far.

I'm looking forward to these next three movies.
