CGI was used to extend sets, hide puppeteers, and even create entire characters. But the better news is that unlike the previous films of the franchise, there aren’t too many of the shots in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” that are completely CGI or that does not have a share of practical effects whatsoever.
There might be some minor change in the number of CGI scenes during the editing process, but that would be very negligible as the movie seems to be pretty consistent with its goal of taking on practical filming method.
Meanwhile, a new set of leaked images from the production set of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” gives hints of the planet where Luke Skywalker is.
The images show the Resistance Bay, which is the rebel base in the movie and also gave a glimpse of some of the ships and other set pieces that were used in the film.
At the end of the movie, Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, returns the lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hammill, at the Jedi Monastery. The leaked report states that the Monastery will not be on the same planet as the location of the Resistance Bay.
