A long time ago in a land far far away people found refuge in a sacred haven from the rest of the world.

For centuries the monks of Skellig Michael, so named after Saint Micheal the Archangel, endured or reveled here sharing company with the seabirds and their faith.

Today Skellig Michael has lost none of its mysticism becoming the focal point of a different kind of monk from a long time ago and a galaxy far far away.

May the force of Skellig be with you.
