Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 8 Incredible New Set Photos You Need To See

2. Epic Scale

A couple of years ago, it was revealed that Dan Mindel had reached out to Panavision to create for him a set of lenses which would give Star Wars: The Force Awakens the same distinct visual feel of the original movies without sacrificing the kind of quality moviegoers have come to expect from this kind of big budget blockbuster (Abrams wanted him to try and track down some of the original ones used on A New Hope). Those can be seen throughout many of his Instragram posts, but this shot reminds us of the one epic sequence which saw the Director of Photography and Abrams utilise IMAX's very large and expensive cameras - the chase involving the Millennium Falcon on Jakku. If you were lucky enough to see the movie on one of those giant screens, you'll no doubt agree that it was worth it.
