Star Wars shot on ARRI?
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2015 1:28 pm
Since it is Star Wars time everywhere, I decided to introduce some droids here as well. Facts and figures on the Star Wars septology. With a little help of IMDB and a look at the camera systems. As it turns out, only two of the seven have been shot with ARRI cameras, one fully digital on Sony cameras, the others on Panavision and IMAX.

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