That's it for facts and figures. Who knows more? I wonder how much miniature-shooting was done for Episode VII?

Rogue One was shot on the Alexa 65 with Panavision APO Panatar and Hawk65 lenses.
And for the Last Jedi, Steve Yedlin used a mix of 35 and 65mm formats, digital and film including Alexa 65, Mini, XT Plus, 435s, Millennium XL2 as well as IMAX 15-perf.
