A sculptor has launched a fundraising campaign to get a statue of Luke Skywalker installed in Kerry.
Artist David O'Brien has set up a GoFundMe page to raise 150-thousand euro to cast and erect the statue of Mark Hamill's character in the Star Wars sequel films, in Portmagee.
The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were shot around Ireland, including on the Skellig Islands.

Mr O'Brien runs the Bronze Art - Fine Art Foundry, which was behind the statue of Rory Gallagher in Ulster Hall, and a bust of former president Michael D Higgins which was presented to him on his last day in office.
