20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

20. Those Bombs From The Last Jedi's Opening Weren't Actually CGI

The Last Jedi certainly came stuffed with its fair share of incredible CGI, with everything from the sensational Holdo maneuver to Supreme Leader Snoke being masterfully brought to life by digital wizardry in the flick.

However, one sequence you may have initially assumed was another jaw-dropping computer-generated moment of action was actually far more practical than you realised.

As noted by Episode VIII's special effects supervisor Chris Corbould (as per IGN), the visual of rows of bombs dropping out of a Resistance bomber early in the film was partly achieved by creating a legitimate 50-foot high set and releasing some very practical 16-inch prop bombs.

Once they "sort of went out the bottom and out sideways", CGI version of the weapons then took over as they travelled down towards the First Order Dreadnought below in the flick. But those bombs that initially fell past a brave Paige Tico were very much there on the day of shooting.
