It’s also no wonder Lucasfilm is giving the auteur his own trilogy, one that’s like to feature plenty of practical effects if Star Wars: The Last Jedi is any indication.
When it comes to Luke using the Force to destroy a hut on Ahch-To in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it turns out the effects were all practical.
Like J.J. Abrams before him, Rian Johnson attempted to use practical effects whenever possible for the latest Star Wars film.
The extra effort has so far paid off, as The Last Jedi broke $450 million globally this past weekend.
