With "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" racing past one box-office record after the next like the Millennium Falcon on the Kessel Run, director of photography Dan Mindel has begun to unveil stellar photos from the film's production.

His Instagram page is now populated by remarkable behind-the-scenes shots on location in Abu Dhabi (the stand-in for Jakku) and on sound stages. The favorites (so far, at least) will undoubtedly be the photo of a certain Wookiee eyeing the monitors, and a shot of the lightsaber duel between Adam Driver's Kylo Ren and John Boyega's Finn.
