Google Maps reveals the location of Star Wars film’s hidden Millennium Falcon

As recent trailers have now revealed, the Millennium Falcon plays a significant part in upcoming Star Wars movie The Last Jedi.

But of course, in between shooting, Disney wanted to keep Han Solo’s former ship under wraps, so they hid it out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by shipping containers and half covered by a tarpaulin. No-one’s going to find it there, right?

• Luke Skywalker returns to the Millennium Falcon in Last Jedi teaser
• Star Wars Episode VIII director releases mysterious set photo – is that the Millennium Falcon?
• Kylo Ren storms the Millennium Falcon in deleted Force Awakens scene

Wrong. Because they reckoned without pesky Google Maps, which has taken aerial snaps of the ship that can be spotted if you search close to the location of Longcross Studios in Surrey.

Super nerd alert.. search Longcross Studios Surrey on google earth, scroll to the right into some farmland and you can find the Millennium Falcon hidden behind some shipping containers pic.twitter.com/sV5FivPdRe

Or if that’s too much effort, this fan has kindly supplied a direct link to the spot in question.

Lol Disney tried to hide the Millennium Falcon by surrounding it with shipping containers. Also, it’s on Google Maps. https://t.co/LgerDntmKQ pic.twitter.com/SfuYkmHJbl
