[ puppet designer ] Neal Scanlan build a maquette that we had on stage set for lighting reference and to give the actors a sense of what it was going to feel like . And then we scanned that and [ Industrial Light & Magic ] used that in their rendering , but Snoke will be an entirely CG creation . ”
