I figured it was green screen but I guess either is plausible Didn’t they do some TFA reshoots at Bad Robot in LA and reconstructed some of the Starkiller forest for the lightsaber fight? They have plenty of resources, they could have filmed this anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lairdo 726 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I just don’t see JW flying to London for one shot. Could have happened for sure, but with his health issues, would they really do that to him? 2 ten hour+ flights, even in first class is a drain on anyone. Then the hour or two of this work (hard to believe it was more than that). Even thinking of the $20K for the airfare, it would almost be cheaper to film in LA with green screen or a small set. Lots of film studios in LA to use. But anyway, all speculation! At least he is there forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Nobody thought it was filmed in London. Of course it was filmed in LA. We just don't know if they built a set in LA or just greenscreened him into an existing set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But heck, we got all excited about Johnny's parked BMW in the pictures around Across the Stars with Anne-Sophie! Seriously, I do think the cameo is rather odd which makes how it was done more interesting. First, it does not actually seem very humble "John Williams"-ish to do. I cannot imagine him saying he wanted to do it. JJ or someone else came up with the idea. Maybe he did it for his grandkids? Maybe just because he could? Further, the shot just sticks out in the movie. There is no need for it. There is no payoff to establishing the character. It's literally just there. It's not like he pushes an alarm button or calls the First Order to move the plot along. I actually think the sonic equivalent is of The Long Goodbye in TLJ. Again, it makes no sense other than Rian wanted it and JW humored him. And it sticks out too. All that being said, I think JW deserved to be in the movie. He looked more in place than George and his kids back in the prequels, and he did not seem completely wrong (as Daniel Craig did in TFA). As Jason said, just chatting ideas...

Well, those aliens were added late in production (and shot in LA) to show the variety of the galaxy. So, they do have a point in the storytelling. We just need a 6 or 9 book Oma Tres expanded universe set of novels featuring his adventures, a comic book run of at least 50 issues, and 4 or 5 action figures (Oma Tres, Oma Tres (removable eye thing), Young Oma Tres, Oma Tres (Bluetooth), etc).
