Grooming Chewie
Even a Wookiee needs hair and makeup, as this image attests. On stage are Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), John Boyega (Finn), Daisy Ridley (Rey), director Rian Johnson, Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), Laura Dern (Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo), and Benicio Del Toro (D.J.). (Photo: Disney/Image Group LA)

While the highlight of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi presentation at the D23 Expo was undoubtedly the behind-the-scenes footage showing new aliens and some tender moments among the cast members, the segment also included a selection of on-set photographs by writer-director Rian Johnson that candidly captured the ensemble. We’ve collected the best of those shots, along with a few others from the session, and present them here.
