Forest
“The world needs you again. It needs your magic.”
Princess Kit (Ruby Cruz)
American super production, the series Willow, is, like the movie of the same name, the work of Lucasfilm. However, the filming did not take place in the United States, but on the European continent, in the natural landscape of Wales. The showrunners even chose to build sets in the Dragon Studios, a local structure. The forest of Taf Fechan, one of the most beautiful in the country, was one of the sites used for the many sequences taking place in the woods.
The return of the magician
Willow allowed Warwick Davis to assume once again, 35 years later, the clothes of Willow, the famous magician. The actor having reacted to this return during an interview given to the site Collider: “For years, it’s been talked about, not by anyone official, but by the fans. They’ve constantly pestered me, saying, “When are we going to see a sequel to that movie?”. And it’s a question that I could never answer, until I met Jon Kasdan, who I understood was also a fan.”
From Star Wars to Willow
The project began to be discussed by the two men on the set of Solo, the Star Wars film about Han Solo. Jon Kasdan said: “I came at it as a fan, and they came at it as the creators, and they found a champion in me.”
George Lucas, the originator, producer and creator of the Willow universe, was not involved in the series at all.
Taf Fechan Forest
A natural treasure nestled within the Brecon Beacons National Park, Taf Fechan Forest encourages many walks.
Taf Fechan is a hardwood forest with small picturesque streams running through it. The steep valleys and limestone cliffs give it its spectacular side while the trees and paths underline its fairytale side. It is also home to many animal species such as the jay, the buzzard, the tawny owl or the creeper. The site is popular for its archaeological remains.
