Star Wars: The Force Awakens behind-the-scenes photos released

Good news for all you Star Wars fans out there (so probably most of you): some wonderful new behind-the-scenes photographs from The Force Awakens have surfaced on Dan Mindel’s Instagram account, who was Director of Photography on the film.

So what do we have in terms of content? While the really good stuff will probably be saved for an upcoming book, gallery or production video, we can still feast our hungry eyes on a resting Chewbacca, a gravity-defying BB8, and an epic lightsaber duel. Click on the gallery below to view them all in full-size version (and make sure to check out Mindel’s Instagram for older, but still brilliant behind-the-scenes images).
