Video: ILM Reveals a Cool STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS VFX Reel

We've seen some VFX work from Star Wars: The Force Awakens already, but leave it to Industrial Light & Magic to top it all with this excellent four minute breakdown (via io9) of some of their ridiculously detailed work on the film. Seeing this a few days after watching John Williams perform some of the music from this movie in concert makes me want to go back and rewatch this movie yet again. I'm excited about Rogue One, but I can't wait to see how Rian Johnson continues the saga in Episode VIII!

We are pleased to share a sample of the visual effects work created for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The history of ILM leads all the way back to 1975 and origins of Star Wars and 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.
