Pinewood Studios entrance
Pinewood Studios is a British film and television studio situated in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of central London. It has served as a production facility for every Star Wars film made since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm Ltd. by The Walt Disney Company.
Several sets for Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker were created at Pinewood Studios. These included Exegol, Ajan Kloss, Kijimi City and the interior of a Star Destroyer.[1]
During production of the Andor television series, executive producer and writer Tony Gilroy wanted to keep the show as real as possible, so production designer Luke Hull and his team often questioned how they would make the show if it was a movie set in an everyday town. To accomplish this, much of the production was practical, and large, intricate sets were built at Pinewood and other locations in England.[2] According to Gilroy, around 700 people worked at Pinewood during production.[3] In August, Season Two director Ariel Kleiman was busy at Pinewood getting the series on schedule to start shooting in November.[4] In November, Gilroy and a couple of directors were prepping for the start of production.[5]
