Disney tried to hide the Millennium Falcon with shipping containers — but it's on Google Maps

  • The Millennium Falcon used for the "Star Wars" movies is on Google Maps.
  • The iconic spaceship, which was most likely used in filming "The Last Jedi," out next month, is surrounded by shipping containers, seemingly in an attempt to hide it.
  • It's hilarious, especially because Disney has been very secretive about the films.

Disney has kept a tight lid on details about all the new "Star Wars" movies — but its strategy has been breached by Google Maps.

The service shows the street views of addresses all across the world via satellite images, which are typically one to three years old.

But Kevin Beaumont found something interesting at Longcross Studios, a film and TV production facility near London, on Google Maps: The Millennium Falcon is on site, or at least near a golf course close by. And it's surrounded by shipping containers, seemingly in an attempt to hide it.

Longcross, about 25 miles west of central London, has been a filming site for many huge films, including "Thor: The Dark World," "Skyfall," and "Guardians of the Galaxy."

This Millennium Falcon was most likely hidden amid filming of "The Last Jedi" at Longcross. "The Force Awakens," released in 2015, was filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, UK.

You can catch the Millennium Falcon (not surrounded by shipping containers) when "The Last Jedi" hits theaters December 15.
