“The Last Jedi” filmed some scenes in King’s Landing, and our favorite worlds are colliding

Well, actually, it totally does. But this is real! This happened! It’s like the greatest, dorkiest Easter egg of all time.

What’s next — Rey shows up on Canto Bight in the TARDIS? Just kidding. Totally just kidding. Totally…
