BEHIND THE SHOT

WATCH THE TRAILER

The whole sequence plays into the broader visual language of the season: “Season 2’s theme is the three- episode arc; after every three episodes, everything comes together,” reveals Nuyens. “There’s also a parallel edit, so we have two stories happening at the same time and we’re connecting them visually. For instance, we had these flares in the wedding party, then we used them with Cassian in the TIE fighter, which connects the scenes in a visual way. It’s something we were always aiming to do.” Ultimately, the experience was a happy blend of planning things to a tee and embracing the unexpected: “When working with flares, you have to look for them, and every lens flares a little differently. Every actor dances differently. So, for this scene, we did a lot of takes in the setting we created and looked for those lucky moments,” he muses. “That’s also why we used the zoom, to capture the nice things we saw. It’s a combination of luck and planning to have those lucky accidents.”
