Take a look inside the recently released Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The 10th Anniversary Special book from Titan Comics with an exclusive look at two spreads which look at the process from inital ideas and concepts to the final film, which brought Star Wars back to the big screen and launched the sequel trilogy, which concluded the Skywalker Saga.
Star Wars Insider documented the making of the movie, with unique access to the cast and crew, including Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, director J.J. Abrams, and more.
Featuring interviews with the actors and filmmakers, this deluxe special edition takes an in-depth look at the making of the movie, featuring incredible production photos and original concept art.
In this first spread we see how the new look of the First Order stormtroopers translated from concept art to screen, with artwork by Glyn Dillon, as well as Finn and Poe’s crashed special forces TIE Fighter in concept art by Andree Wallin. The column details the importance of Neal Scanlan’s creature shop, with Kathleen Kennedy praising the department and discussing how the advancements in puppeteering technology had matched CG technology to build out a real and tangible world for the movie.
In our second exclusive spread we get a look at the iconic moment where ‘the garbage’ is revealed to be the Millennium Falcon and the epic TIE Fighter chase that follows where Finn and Rey get to bond and become friends. The interview hints at the challenges behind bringing our favourite hunk of junk back to screen with no reliable blueprints for how to build the set and the crew relying on deleted footage to capture the interior of Han Solo’s ship from every angle.
