Boat Trip To Skellig Michael - Not For The Faint Hearted

Posted by Declan Mulvany on

Most boat trips to Skellig Michael are a calm enough affair but this trip wasn't on a normal day ... far from it.

It was touch and go as to whether or not there would be a landing that day but after consultation between the shore crew on Skellig Michael and the Captain of SkelligWalker we put to sea.  Days like this are not for everyone but what a fantastic trip !  the boat took every wave easily in its stride and we landed safely on the rock that is Skellig Michael .... and unbelievably the trip home later was almost flat calm.

Go mbeidh an Fórsa leat - Star Wars returns to Kerry for episode VIII

Posted by Declan Mulvany on

In Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, moviegoers were introduced to Ahch-To in the very last scene. The original Jedi Temple is where Luke Skywalker has taken refuge and is living a hermit lifestyle - much like the original monks of St. Fionán's monastery on Skellig Michael. As Rey presents his lightsaber to him on the handcarved steps that ascend towards the heavens, the credits roll. So what next?

As Skellig Michael provided the inspiration and filming location for Ahch-To, the original Jedi Temple of the Star Wars Galaxy, it was only natural for the next installment of the movie franchise to return. And that's exactly what happened - Episode VIII: The Last Jedi was shot on location in South and West Kerry, this time with a reconstruction of the famous Skellig beehive huts on Ceann Sibéal just outside Dingle.

Luke Skywalker's Irish T-shirt

Posted by Declan Mulvany on

This season’s must-have wardrobe staple is, apparently, the Irish 'Sibéal Wars' T-Shirt. Worn by none other than Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series,

 

 The Irish 'Sibéal Wars' T-shirt, is the perfect day-to-evening item. Sling it on over a pair of jeans for filming on the world’s most famous science-fiction movie franchise by day, and then dress it up with a jacket and hat for the Star Wars wrap party in Dingle later than evening. Mr. Hamill looks dapper yet comfortable as he poses outside Foxy Johns pub during the festivities.

 

Sibéal Wars Mark Hamill | Skellig Wars | The Irish Pub Shop

Designed by Declan Mulvany for skelligwars.com,  the Irish ‘Sibéal Wars’ T-shirt is available from the Irish Pub Shop in Killarney, Co. Kerry. Expand your wardrobe with a selection of other unique designs from SkelligWars including scenes from the spectacular locations of Skellig Michael and Ceann Sibéal.
There may not have been a red carpet at Foxy Johns on May 25th last. but there was no shortage of celebrities. Locals involved in the construction of the Ceann Sibéal set joined Hamill and Daisy Ridley in the pub, where Ridley is said to have pulled pints of Guinness. None of them was better dressed than Hamill, however, who also brought his dog, Millie.
The West Kerry shoot was a huge undertaking, involving more than 400 people, including cast, crew and support staff. Film crews reconstructed the 6th-century monastic site from Skellig Michael, which appeared in the final scene of The Force Awakens, on the craggy headland of Ceann Sibéal, further north.
