Headland went on to say that they also wanted to honor George Lucas’ camera movements, saying, “[Cinematographer] Chris [Teague] and I talked a lot about honoring George Lucas’ camera movements.
He added: “I would say the original trilogy became our touchstone for how to create the world, whereas Episode I of the show is a little more thematic.”
