Several locations in the Dingle Peninsula have served as filming locations for Star Wars movies, particularly for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." One prominent spot is Ceann Sibeal (also known as Sybil Head), which was featured as the location for the Jedi Temple on the planet Ahch-To. The rugged cliffs and stunning scenery of Ceann Sibeal provided a fitting backdrop for key scenes involving Luke Skywalker and Rey.

Additionally, the nearby island of Skellig Michael, although not technically part of the Dingle Peninsula, was also used extensively in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Skellig Michael served as the filming location for the remote Jedi hermitage where Luke Skywalker was found at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and where Rey seeks his guidance in "The Last Jedi."

These Star Wars filming locations have further heightened the allure of the Dingle Peninsula for visitors, combining its natural beauty with the magic of cinematic storytelling.
