VIDEO : The Last Jedi Relied Heavily On Practical Effects

The upcoming book The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is soon to be available for purchase. In it, Oscar winning Production Designer Rick Heinrichs gives insight into the scene of Luke blowing apart the hut in Ahch-To when he sees Rey and Kylo together. Heinrichs reveals it was all done without the aid of CGI.
He explains, ?Luke blowing apart the hut worked out amazingly. It?s all in-camera! There is a difference in what you get with Mark Hamill standing there and the rocks really going by him and not feeling like it?s a visual effect. What ILM does is always mind-blowing to me. When you combine what they can do with camera work so that they are matching stuff that the actors are really in, I think that just ups everybody?s game?
