Kensington Palace said Tuesday’s visit was to salute the British creative talent involved in the Star Wars films, which have used British studios, actors, craftspeople and technicians since the 1970s.

The seventh installment Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released last year, and the eighth movie is due for release in 2017.
