Entertainment Weekly debuted the behind-the-scenes video ahead ofThe Rise of Skywalker’s home video release, which drops later this month. In the short clip, director J.J. Abrams goofs around with his cast before getting to work with star Oscar Isaac, who takes the spotlight in the sand chase scene in the middle of the film. Isaac delights in blocking out the scene with Abrams, but when it came to shooting the scene, which they filmed in the Jordan desert, he found that there were a few challenges with the natural materials surrounding him.
“For me it was the most fun I’ve had, but it’s a bit challenging because they’d have fans [blowing] as well, so you just have all this sand getting into your eyes,” Isaac says in the clip. “I would go home after some days and just tons of sand would be pouring out of my hair.”
The clip is one of the special features that will be on the upcoming home media release ofStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which arrives digitally in HD, 4K Ultra HD, and via Movies Anywhere onMarch 17, 2020, before it lands physically in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD onMarch 31, 2020.
