Every time the new Star Wars movie comes up in conversation, Skellig Michael is bound to be mentioned.

The rocky island off the coast of Kerry features quite a bit in The Last Jedi, and it looks stunning.

And sure enough, when cast members of the film appeared on the Graham Norton Show last night, Skellig Michael was touched upon.

Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Gwendoline Christie joined Graham to chat about filming The Last Jedi.

But Mark, who plays Luke Skywalker, revealed there was one thing about the island that he didn't like - the steps!

"Little did I know, Skellig Michael - boy, there's over six hundred steps. I asked 'How long are you giving the crew to get up there?', they said about 45 minutes. I said 'Give me an hour and a half.' I had to take a rest every fifteen minutes. It was brutal."
