【Mashable】Leaked Star Wars Episode VII Set Footage Is Fake, But Still a Must-See (866) Sometimes fake leaked footage is convincing, and other times its so unconvincing that its only good for a laugh. But its rare that fake leaked footage is both unconvincing and absolutely amazing at the same. Such is the case with a new video claiming to be leaked footage from the set of Star Wars Episode VII.

Merging footage from the very real Frankfurt Airport in Germany with an imagined Imperial Starport Frankfurt, the video shows off an AT-AT Walker trudging down a runway while a van drives underfoot and an Imperial Destroyer sits in the background. Image: Imgur, Frank Wunderlich We also get to see an Imperial Shuttle accompanied by two TIE fighters realistically flying within the confines of the airports air space. Later, another Imperial Shuttle is shown ascending into the sky as a damaged Death Star looms far off in the background. There are even a couple of AT-ST Walkers in the background of some of the scenes. Video: YouTube, Frank Wunderlich The rendering of the airport scene, complete with shuttle buses and stair cars, is so realistic that a few of the videos YouTube commenters actually went so far as to point out aspects of the footage that appear fake. So, despite the levitating air vehicles and giant robot tanks, its clear that at least a few viewers were at least momentarily fooled by the clips realism. Adding to the realism are the shaky cam effects (were not supposed to be getting this footage!) and the random zoom-ins on certain scenes. From the background sounds of the Starport and its war machines, to the near seamless merging of real world airport structures with Star Wars lore (including Stormtroopers standing guard), the video is a tantalizing reminder that the fictional world of Jedi magic will soon return to theaters.
