Star Wars: Episode VII News – CGI And Practical Effects Plus Discussion About The Future Of Disney And Star Wars - Video

While speaking at the Star Wars Celebration in Germany, Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm spoke about the use of practical effects and CGI.

Kennedy said:

“The conversation we’re having all the time now about ‘Episode VII’ is how much CGI.  We’re looking at what the early Star Wars films did; they used real locations with special effects. So [for 'Episode VII'] we’re going to find some very cool locations, we’re going to end up using every single tool in the toolbox.”

She then added:

“I was amazed yesterday and looking at what the fans are doing,” referring to some of the presentations and displays of Celebration Europe. “Using model makers, using real droids, taking advantage of the artwork that you can touch and feel, we want to do that in combination with CG effects.”

And:

“We have the opportunity to create amazing new characters.  Story and character are all we’re talking about right now.”
