STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Photos Reveal Some Cool Behind-The-Scenes Shots From The Divisive Movie

We can't quite believe that five years have passed since Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released, and the movie continues to create heated discussions among fans.

For the time being, we can put that aside to enjoy some new behind-the-scenes photos from the movie shared by filmmaker Rian Johnson in the latest issue of Empire Magazine. Among the highlights are a terrific shot of Supreme Leader Snoke actor Andy Serkis spending time with his stand-in. 

"This was a beautiful maquette that our creature department built for reference on set, because in the movie Snoke is entirely CG," Johnson remembers. "But we had this maquette there, so it was a very nice photo-op to have Andy with his character."

We also see Daisy Ridley attached to wires during that memorable sequence in Snoke's throne room, a confrontation between Finn (John Boyega) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), an adorable Porg puppet, and the cast and crew taking shelter beneath the Millennium Falcon. "At some point it started raining, and the entire crew huddled underneath the Falcon for shelter," he recalls. "It felt like the coolest camping trip of all time."

Johnson clearly put a lot of love into this movie, but his ideas for the Star Wars franchise simply didn't resonate with longtime fans. That was particularly the case with Luke Skywalker's portrayal, something the filmmaker admitted recently while looking back at his clashes with Mark Hamill on set.

The director also recalledt the "painful" negative backlash he received from fans, though confirmed that he hopes to return to this Galaxy Far, Far Away in order to make that long-rumoured trilogy. We'll see if it happens.

I really hope Ryan's trilogy never happens.

I thought Snoke was much taller, but seeing him next to Serkis makes me realize he's maybe 7ft and a bit. Wish we got to see him do backflips and such in a lightsaber fight

Another thing that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough; no way Chewie would have wasted a perfectly roasted Porg, after he took the time to catch one, skin it and wait for it to be cooked. If anything, he would have snagged that baby-doll eyed Porg too, for dessert !😄

But I fully understand there was never any intention to deliver some sort of quality content in the production of that movie.

The evil red setting idea was stolen by Biden.

I want a scene where all Andy Serkis cgi characters are in the same room with him.

@Origame - this will happen someday when he gets his well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award.
