And in a new video from Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Lucasfilm’s VFX and animation studio, fans can catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how special effects were used to create these incredible scenes.
“The Force Awakens gave us the opportunity to once again push the boundaries of what is possible in character animation and visual effects while combining cutting edge practical effects and physical sets,” ILM captioned the clip.
