Rey Kylo Ren and Woodlands of England

battle scene: Take a look at some of the destinations that have either played body double to faraway locations, or reminded viewers of the planet natural wonders, according to CTV. England and Ireland, 'Star Wars,' nominated for film editing To set up a key battle scene between Rey and Kylo Ren, filmmakers chose the ancient woodlands of Puzzlewood in England to portray an otherworldly location. For some of this year Oscar-nominated films, the real-life settings play just as important a supporting role, be it the red-tinged desert landscape of Jordan to the mystical woodlands of England. The moss-covered forest floor, deep-cut canyons, twisting walkways and knotted trees are believed to have been the inspiration for another epic fantasy tale: Middle Earth in J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of The Rings. Rising dramatically out of the Atlantic Ocean, the craggy rocks of Skellig Michael feature in the final scene as the hideaway for a key Star Wars character. Ireland also gets a turn in the spotlight at the end of the film. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
