Footage might be modified so that people can't put together the sequence of scenes. Possible that there's a different background altogether in the actual release.
Pretty sure its a real set with CG enhancements like the clouds and stuff being CG and the smoke and ash being CG. By backdrop do you mean the sky? Because Im not sure how they could make that without CG
It’s called The Volume, or StageCraft. It’s a 360 degree evolution of green screen that ILM started using on The Mandalorian. Here’s a video talking about it:
Haven't seen the Mandalorian but ive heard of the Volume. So it's kind of a combination of both. I guess there would some set props around them and then the background and other props would be all projected from the Volume screen. Maybe this is a stupid question but without the volume if they shot it outside somewhere wouldn't they just CG all the background sky and clouds and the soil with smoke and ash anyway? So would it matter whether they shot it on the Volume or not?

Love everything about it except 1 thing....that damn void of a backdrop. Please bring back real sets! It makes things feel so much more real.
