This morning, preparations for the filming of the Star Wars series “The Acolyte” caused quite a stir across the island. The preparations are taking place next to a black sand beach, where green mountains descend towards the Atlantic Ocean, creating a unique and picturesque setting that should not be missed by this global production. Technicians are setting up all the necessary filming equipment in the area, as shown in the images in the gallery above, with several vans even present in the Clube Naval area.
As previously reported, the Star Wars series filming will take place at various points across the island, including Caniçal, Fanal, Ribeira da Janela, and Porto Moniz. The cast of the series is already in the region, putting Madeira on the map for the world to see.
That should boost tourism
