Star Wars The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi
When Star Wars came to County Kerry
Go behind the scenes in the Irish village of Portmagee, filming location for Star Wars episode VII & VIII.
A Little Star Wars Magic at The Moorings
A moment we’ll never forget — Mark Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, pouring a pint of Guinness at The Moorings in Portmagee.
It was a pretty special moment to see one of the galaxy’s most famous faces behind the bar, enjoying the same warm welcome and good craic that our guests know and love.
Portmagee has its own special place in the Star Wars story, and we’re proud to be part of that connection.
May the craic be with you!
Come for the Star Wars connection, stay for the craic.
Skellig Michael - Discover the Skellig Islands
Skellig Michael is one of Ireland’s most mysterious and enchanting landmarks. Rising dramatically from the Atlantic Ocean, these remarkable sandstone islands are home to the remains of an early Christian monastic settlement and provide an important sanctuary for a rich variety of seabirds.
The Skellig Islands also gained worldwide fame as a filming location for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. The spectacular landscape of Skellig Michael provided the backdrop for some of the films’ most memorable scenes, bringing a little bit of Portmagee and the Skellig Coast to audiences around the world.
At The Moorings, we’re proud to be part of the local Star Wars story. During your stay, discover more about the connection between Portmagee, Skellig Michael and the Star Wars films, and hear some of the stories from the time a galaxy far, far away came to our little corner of Kerry.
May the craic be with you!
