As if it wasnt clear already, it sounds like the next trilogy of Star Wars films is going to do its best to distance itself from the derided prequel trilogy of the last decade. We already knew that director J.J. Abrams planned to shoot Episode VII on film (both 35mm and IMAX) rather than in digital, and it sounds like hes also planning to use more practical effects in the next film in addition to the inevitable CGI effects that will surely be necessary for a film of this scale. Speaking on Grantlands Girls in Hoodies podcast, director Rian Johnson (who will helm Episode VIII) said that Abrams film will be more grounded in real world effects than its predecessors: I think people are coming back around to [practical effects].
