Fourteen filming location sites across the UK were examined as part of the Environmental Impact of Filmmaking (EIF) study.

Findings were based on field trips, surveys of communities in areas near to Star Wars shoots and interviews with local residents as well as ecologists and industry figures.

Andor was a prequel to the 2016 spin-off film Rogue One, and follows main character Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna.

Film crews had planned to use Winspit Quarry a second time in 2023 but this was cancelled over concerns about landslips.

There were nine responses relating to the Purbeck film shoot.

They included complaints about recreational public access to the site which was sealed off during filming.

There were also concerns about a potential increase in Star Wars-related tourism to the area, which one respondent did not think had suitable infrastructure to accommodate.

Another participant however, suggested there hadn’t been any discernible change to tourism levels since Winspit appeared in the Andor series.

Dr Harrison said: “Most people didn’t notice anything at all – which raises questions about whether local communities should be informed and get a say.”

At the time of the filming, Worth Matravers Parish Council said the crew had been “very considerate” in their use of the area.
