The release of the official Rogue One teaser trailer last week temporarily pumped the brakes on Entertainment Weekly’s week-long celebration of the arrival of The Force Awakens on Blu-ray. But have no fear – the focus has shifted back to Episode VII as they have posted their fourth behind-the-scenes installment on their website.
For today’s Blu-ray story we’re presenting a Soundcloud podcast of our Behind the Scenes radio hour with Abrams and his two teams of visual effects artists: the practical side (who manufactured vehicles and creatures and set off fiery detonations), and the digital side (who created planets, starships, and erased the wheels and wires that the practical effects so impressive).
Along the way, they reveal hidden references, Easter eggs, and surprising little touches to watch for on repeat viewings.
If you thought you knew what was real and what was fake … you were probably wrong.
