Watch Behind-the-Scenes Footage of the Lightsaber Duels in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

To credibly inhabit Rey, a scavenger on the desert junkyard planet of Jakku, Daisy Ridley had to train on a climbing wall (to name just one piece of her pre-production workout routine). And how about all those great lightsaber moves by Rey, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Finn (John Boyega)? Now you can see a brief snippet of how these actors trained for their roles; Target has released this little taste of the bonus features that will be exclusively available from their version of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-Ray combo pack, which comes out on April 5. 

Tell us you don't want one of these practice lightsabers.
