George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer & MP for Tatton in the U.K., took to Twitter to post a couple of shots from his visit to the Star Wars: Episode VII set. In doing so, he also revealed that there’d be another U.K.-based Star Wars production coming up. This shouldn’t be a surprise, as a huge portion of the franchise’s previous entries have filmed there. But this proves that this tradition will not be ending any time soon.

On set of Episode VII tonight, can announce another #StarWars film will be made in UK. A #LongTermEconomicPlan in a galaxy far far away

Also glad to see the tradition of Abrams wearing plaid shirts in honor of George Lucas hasn’t ended yet either.
