Now that Avengers: Endgame has been released and Game of Thrones has ended, the eyes of many nerds turn their to focus on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The final installment of the ‘Skywalker Saga’ the film will hopes to bring together the original trilogy, the prequels, and the sequels.
As many of you may know, making a movie is considerably more difficult than one might think. We who write at LRM are also interested in the work that goes on behind the camera, and I imagine many of you readers are as well. If you read below, you’ll find Oscar Isaac, who plays ace pilot Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, speaking about a situation from his first week of shooting when Abrams had set up a greenscreen in an unusual spot.
“It’s very difficult to design imperfection, and the imperfections that you have in these environments immediately create a sense of authenticity. You just believe it more. And I was like, ‘J. J., can I ask you a question? I notice we’re shooting on greenscreen.’ And he’s like, ‘So why the hell are we in the desert?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah!’ And he said, ‘Well, because look: the way that the sand interacts with the light, and the type of shots you would set up—if you were designing the shot on a computer you would never even think to do that.’ There’s something about the way that the light and the environment and everything plays together.”

Lighting is a crucial aspect of filmmaking, and that goes for TV as well (just ask Game of Thrones fans about “The Long Night,” I personally didn’t have an issue with it, but many fans certainly did). There is a healthy amount of detail and work that goes into films nowadays that is for the most part overlooked, but what Abrams had to say above shows the thought process of today’s filmmaking.
