It was all based upon steering the audience toward an image they remember seeing rather than putting the character in a completely new situation.” “And the same goes for trying to get the posture, the costume, the atmosphere. “Obviously we couldn’t match it exactly and there were lots of limitations, but that’s effectively what we decided to do,” Bluff said. This not only emulated the look of the character in “Return of the Jedi” (particularly in Jabba’s palace), but also minimized the physical demands placed on the 69-year-old Hamill, the filmmakers, and Lola. “That was a choice to match some of the imagery that we’ve seen in the past.įavreau also decided to shoot Skywalker’s cameo with dark lighting. “People’s memory of Luke Skywalker isn’t in 4K sharp resolution,” Bluff said. The soft texture of Hamill’s skin was also intentional. “But the technology continues to advance and is probably in a place now than when we were using it.” (Ironically, after deepfake YouTuber Shamook demonstratively enhanced Lola’s work on his own, Lucasfilm subsequently hired the artist to work in ILM’s machine learning and AI space.) “The resolution wasn’t high enough coming out of the software to be able to use it 1:1,” said Bluff. So it was important to Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni that we bring Mark Hamill in to perform there on set, dressed in costume, and using him in every way possible - not only to help advise on the performance, but also to use his physicality and his actual face whenever possible.” “And that was the look we had to reproduce. “We knew we had to be faithful to the look of around the time of ‘Return of the Jedi,’ which was the last movie we saw him at that age,” Bluff said. However, Industrial Light & Magic VFX supervisor, Richard Bluff, took a deeper dive into the de-aging process with IndieWire. Yet how Hamill was de-aged has been kept under wraps until this week’s episode of “Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian” on Disney+. The Season 2 finale really has it all, and here's how Twitter reacted.The best-kept secret of “ The Mandalorian” Season 2 was Mark Hamill’s surprise cameo in the finale as a young Luke Skywalker, who offers to complete baby Grogu’s training in The Force. It's only fair since he was eaten by the Sarlacc on Jabba's watch. That could end up being the main plot for Season 3.Īnd even after all that epicness, Jon Favreau gave us one last goodie in the form of a post-credits sequence where Boba Fett takes over Jabba's palace on Tatooine, effectively setting up The Book of Boba Fett. Maybe Bo-Katan's request to retake Mandalore isn't sounding so bad after all, especially now that he's got the Darksaber. ![]() A wonderfully directed episode with a shock at the end that sets up the season finale well. To underscore just how much this child has changed his life, Djarin removes his helmet, showing a blatant disregard for the rules of the Mandalorian fanatics. Season 2, episode 4 sees the Mandalorian and the Child reunite with Cara Dune and Greef. The joy of getting to see such a beloved faces from the original trilogy was balanced out with a tinge of sadness as Mando and Grogu say their final goodbyes. Naturally, fans are freaking out over Luke's entrance, which some viewers are comparing to Darth Vader's infamous hallway massacre in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Of course, Luke's showing up also meant we got a cameo from a merrily beeping R2-D2. A rather poignant development when we know that Kylo Ren's betrayal is on the horizon. Luckily, help comes just in the nick of time when Luke Skywalker (a digital recreation of young Mark Hamill) arrives to take the kid under his wing and train him as a Jedi. Mando defeats Gideon and is reunited with Grogu, but he and his team are nearly taken out by the Dark Troopers. Spoilers ahead for the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian on Disney+, which is out today!Īfter Grogu, aka Baby Yoda, was kidnapped by Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) two weeks ago, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) attempts to rescue the kid with a small army of Fett (Temuera Morrison), Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks). For instance, the tail end of the episode found the time to bring in a legacy Star Wars character and set up a brand-new spinoff show for Boba Fett (coming to Disney+ next December). While less than an hour long, the Season 2 finale for The Mandalorian was able to cram a ton of content into its 46-minue runtime. ![]()
