The second season of the “Star Wars” series “Ahsoka” is moving its film production from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom, and at present, its studio Lucasfilm does not have any film or series projects currently slated to film in LA, IndieWire has confirmed.

A studio insider disputed the idea that all film and TV production for Lucasfilm would relocate to the UK, adding that no hard and fast decision has been made.

Lucasfilm has a long UK history dating back to George Lucas’ original “Star Wars” trilogy as well as films like “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”

...

many streaming series on Disney+ were shot in Los Angeles County at Manhattan Beach Studios including “The Mandalorian,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and the just-released “Skeleton Crew.” Lucasfilm utilized Industrial Light & Magic’s “volume stage” technology — stages with wraparound digital LED screens encompassing the set — with technicians based on the West Coast. Other shows like “The Acolyte,” “Andor,” and “Willow,” which didn’t make use of the tech, were generally shot in the UK.

In the case of “Ahsoka” Season 2, which is tentatively set to begin filming in April 2025, IndieWire has learned the show will utilize multiple different film techniques. The first was shot entirely on volume stages.

Deadline confirms that The Great When, a new fantasy novel by Moore, is getting a TV adaptation. The production company Playground landed the rights to The Great When, a fantasy graphic novel that was published by Bloomsbury on October 1. It's the first in Moore’s planned five-volume Long London series of epic fantasy novels, which Playground plans to adapt into a series that spans several seasons. Moore reacted to the news in the statement below:

For the first time in my career, I’m genuinely excited and enthusiastic about a work of mine…one that I own, and believe could work marvelously in a different medium…being adapted for the screen.

In Playground, I feel that I’ve connected with people who respect both me and the narrative and are receptive to such input as I can offer. And, given Playground’s track record, I have little doubt that this will be anything short of spectacular. It’s taken me some time, but I think at last I’m ready for my closeup.

...

Alan Moore doesn't mince words when it comes to adaptations of his work, as well as notable criticisms of the current state of the comic book industry and superhero movies. It is understandable, considering his conflict with DC Comics and the long disagreements between the two sides. Perhaps the most significant part of The Great When adaptation, coming from an author who has not always given his stamp of approval, is that he's embraced it.
