Join us on a thrilling adventure as we set out to recreate an iconic Star Wars scene on the stunning Skellig Michael Island. Some say I look like Luke Skywalker (the old one!), and when Melissa told me about this remote island, I couldn't resist the challenge. Little did I know the adventure that awaited us.

We had to overcome unpredictable weather conditions and a treacherous boat ride to reach this isolated island, which is about seven and a half miles out to sea. The boat ride to Skellig Michael was more intense than expected, with rough waves and strong winds. But we made it to this incredible island, known for its dramatic cliffs, unique wildlife, and historic significance.

Our mission was to recreate a scene from "The Force Awakens" that was filmed here. We faced steep climbs, breathtaking drops, and strong gusts of wind in an attempt to capture the perfect shots.

Skellig Michael, an ancient monastic site, was a remarkable place to explore. It's a testament to the determination of the monks who once lived here. We got a glimpse of their daily life, from beehive huts to their gravity toilet.

This unforgettable journey is filled with adventure, stunning landscapes, and a touch of Star Wars magic. Don't forget to watch the video to see if we were successful in our recreation! And if you enjoy it, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more exciting adventures. May the Force be with you!
