Disney is trying everything to keep its secrets with Star Wars to prevent any information leakage. This time, the media giant set out to using drones flying over the filming set to block away any other drones flying in to get a glimpse of the site.

According to a report from The Next Web, drones are flying over Pinewood Studios in the UK to hunt down any other drones flying in. The drone tactic will also apply when the filming team relocates to Croatia next month.

The drone tactic came to an idea when a video clip filmed with a drone was leaked during a production of JJ Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens (seventh episode). Lucky for Disney that nothing significant was revealed through the clip, but it was enough to raise awareness against possible drone paparazzi in the future and get ready for it.

Star Wars’ episode eight, which is underway of its production, is scheduled to be on cinemas next year.
