Star Wars Episode 9: 12 Rumours You Need To Know

5. A Return To Yavin 4

Filming gets underway this month, which means we'll be learning more of where Episode IX is shooting. One such location that we've already heard about is Cardington Airship Sheds, which has been used for a number of blockbusters, including The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

It's obviously a multipurpose location, but so far it's only been used for one place in Star Wars: Yavin 4. Cardington was used in both the original and Rogue One for the Rebel Base, so a return there for the trilogy closer immediately suggests we'll be seeing the location again.

The Resistance does need a new base, and Poe Dameron just so happens to be from there, so there's logic to it, and it'd bring things full circle, although the fact the sheds have been used for so many other movies mean it could well be a different location.

Likelihood: 7/10
