his is a visual effects breakdown of the sequence in “The Force Awakens” where Rey & Finn escape Jakku in the Millennium Falcon. The sequence was captured on the IMAX format, shooting in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Practical effects were used where possible, including explosions. Once the Falcon takes flight and is pursued by TIE fighters, the vast majority of the sequence was achieved using CGI.
