Watch: Breakdown of The Millennium Falcon Escape From THE FORCE AWAKENS

This is really cool. The Art of Film has cut together a comprehensive video that looks at pretty much every aspect of the Millennium Falcon's escape from Jakku in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It's one of the movie's most iconic scenes, and this video incorporates final footage from the movie along with concept art, rehearsal footage of actors Daisy Ridley and John Boyega (or, in one shot, maybe their stunt doubles) dodging explosions, and some quick breakdowns of the visual effects in certain areas of the chase, including some angles I haven't seen from this film before.

This is a visual effects breakdown of the sequence in "The Force Awakens" where Rey & Finn escape Jakku in the Millennium Falcon. The sequence was captured on the IMAX format, shooting in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Practical effects were used where possible, including explosions. Once the Falcon takes flight and is pursued by TIE fighters, the vast majority of the sequence was achieved using CGI.
