First Production Picture From Star Wars Episode VII in Abu Dahbi?

Local news site, The National has posted what many believe is the first picture of the Episode VII production in the Abu Dahbi Desert.

From TheNational.com :

The National photographer Mona Al Marzooqi has captured what are believed to be the first images of Star Wars: Episode VII set deep in the Abu Dhabi desert.

The photos, taken on Tuesday morning in the dunes near Qasr Al Sarab resort, reveal a large encampment of tents with four to five workers moving around what appear to be parts of a filmset.

According to sources within the local film industry, crew members have already been hired for the Abu Dhabi leg of the secret production.

However, no one at the petrol station, two cafes and two shops in the closest town, Himeem, had any inkling of a nearby movie set or unusual construction.

At first, the "prop" was thought to be the door to an escape pod like R2-D2 and C3-Po used to escape the Tantive IV in "Star Wars : A New Hope, but now a discussion on TheForce.net message boards have made me believe this is the foot of an Imperial Walker (AT-AT). check out both sides of the argument below and then let yourself be heard in the comments by sharing your conclusions.
