New set photos from in production for a little over a month now, with director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm doing everything in their power to keep the movie's secrets under wraps. They have been transparent about a few things so far (namely, the film's stacked ensemble), but a number of details are still locked away in the mystery box. Still, there's only so much even someone like Abrams can do in the age of social media.
Last month, Star Wars 9 fell victim to set leaks when unofficial photos depicting Finn, Poe Dameron, and Chewbacca on a mission made the rounds online. Those pictures didn't reveal anything much in regards to spoilers, but it illustrated to fans that they should be on the lookout (or avoid, depending on one's point of view) for leaks during what's set to be a long filming process for Abrams' team. Now, another batch of images have popped up, showcasing one of the movie's locations.

Unfortunately for audiences, it'll still be a while before anything official is released. Star Wars Celebration next spring. Even then, a probable teaser trailer won't unveil too much, so this is just the beginning of what will be a long and winding road to the film's theatrical premiere in December 2019.
