| "The droid... stole a freighter?" |
This has to be my favorite line from The Force Awakens. I mean, Kylo Ren's tone and delivery is 100% Dark Side Jackass. It doesn't get better than that in Star Wars. Darth Vader would be proud.
The source:
In the clip, Kylo slowly turns to face the unfortunate officer relaying the news that "they were unable to obtain the droid on Jakku". The whole scene is excellent with Kylo freaking out and trashing the console as well as force grabbing/choking the officer.
The setup
I've been debating on how to build backgrounds for my photos, and during a curious internet search I found a tremendous resource over at DioramaWorkShop.com. If you are interested in setting up your own Star Wars toy shots I highly recommend you check the site out.
They have lots of templates that you can download and print- one of which I used for the background in this shot.

Though not screen accurate for The Force Awakens, I opted to use a backdrop from the Death Star in A New Hope. I thought it was close enough to the source image to pass.
I wanted to make it pop a bit more, so I added a flashlight behind the panel with a blue gel over it.
Oh yeah, in Lightroom I also had to clone out a hair that sprouted out of the top of Kylo's helmet.
Rule #1 when shooting toy photos is make sure to dust off your toys before you shoot. I did not follow this rule and look what happened... ugh...
