The Falcon has a fresh coat of paint and an even livelier history. Speculation points toward Greenham Common standing in as Dantooine, planet that once housed a rebel base.<\/p>\n<p>A drone over Greenham Common caught video of the same location. The drone video shows the partial craft beneath a blue tarp. Check it out below!<\/p>\n<p>Star Wars Episode VII will see the return of the trio of heroes from the original trilogy: Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), and Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher). The film is set to hit theaters in December 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Episode VII filming has taken place at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, as well as Abu Dhabi and Skellig Michael, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for Episode VII?
