New "Star Wars Episode VIII" set photos reveal Luke Skywalker's Jedi Temple. In some pictures shared by Star Wars Direct, the alleged Jedi Temple is in construction at the same location shown at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". Millennium Falcon is also there.
The final minutes of "The Force Awakens" saw Rey (Daisy Ridley) coming face-to-face with Luke (Mark Hamill). It's been widely assumed that Luke will be training Rey in the upcoming sequel which is now halfway through filming.

Rumor has it, Ach-To is confirmed to be the site of the very first Jedi Temple where Luke has been hiding. According to a Reddit source, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is going to get a big taste of Luke's Jedi power there.
The source dishes on a scene reportedly shot on set recently, "A few weeks ago they blew up- specifically, blew apart- an Ahch-To hut. According to my source, Kylo and Rey have a conversation that Luke does not like. Luke tries to stop them. Luke gets angry... and the whole hut they are in disintegrates (re: 'blows up'). My source did not specify as to the exact cause of the disintegration, but based on the info I believe Luke accidentally (or perhaps even purposely) does so using the Force."
Directed by Rian Johnson, "Star Wars Episode VIII" is set to open in cinemas on December 15, 2017.
