Simon Kinberg Reveals His Role in the STAR WARS Universe, FORCE AWAKENS
He is one of the original cast members, but his character is no superhero or a Jedi knight. Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) 3.
Abrams’ assessment comes with a valid case in point. Here’s what he had to say about his unique role in the franchise. The trailers, behind-the-scenes video, and official images revealed a bit more, including a speeder racing past a crashed Star Destroyer, Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) running to avoid TIE Fighter attacks, and the Millennium Falcon whizzing by in a battle with said TIE Fighters.
Though he broke a bone in his back, he was able to return to the set with a brace for support.
However, to Abrams’ surprise, he saw that Harrison Ford was able to recover from his injury faster than his, prompting him to quip that the guy is a real-life superhero for his speedy recovery. “But it’s a whiteboard covered in our notes”.
After Clones and Menace, Pegg says that Revenge of the Sith earns a spot as the best of the three bad prequels since it at least had an interesting story about Anakin’s conversion to the Dark Side. MSW states that it’s most likely the escape from the desert planet Jakku, and this scene will show in 70MM.
Having starred in Star Trek and Mission Impossible, Simon Pegg’s got plenty of nerd cred – with more on the way thanks to a small part in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Some of the scenes were shot twice, once on location in Abu Dhabi and once at Pinewood Studios.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is widely expected to be one of the biggest box office stories of the decade so far, but with Jurassic World recently cruising past the $1.5 Billion mark at the global box office, JJ Abrams’ movie has some lofty competition for the title of 2015’s biggest movie.
Still, there are scenes that really needed to be shot through CGI so, despite efforts of limiting the use of modern technology in filming, the production crew resorted to the methodology.
