The new Star Wars movie just started shooting in Abu Dhabi. Director J.J. Abrams is building a lot of real buildings and creatures. This could mean it will look a lot more realistic like the original Star Wars trilogy and not so CGI-heavy. There was a large series of photos leaked to TMZ and they show off a giant creature, which is supposedly controlled by five people inside of it. There are also plenty of ramshackle marketplace props and Tatooine costumes.
