    I love ILM. My cousin Michelle worked there years back. Ironically, her mother (my aunt) also managed Skywalker Ranch for decades.
    Edit: ILM has some unbelievably talented folks working for them. Always fascinated to see their solutions to visual effects requirements.

    Weird timing that these”behind the scenes” videos are being released right as I started rewatching Ahsoka this week! The show really feels like full feature movie quality IMO. I know all of these Star Wars shows coming out mean different things for different people, but as a 50 year old who grew up with this universe, the stuff Dave is making feels the most accurate. Really excellent work to all that contributed to the series and looking forward to Season 2!

      Sadly rare. We’ve forgotten the Jurassic Park paradigm where that communication and collaboration is consistent throughout the process, from early planning to final passes.
      For whatever reason, the Hollywood pipeline has put so much distance between the practical and digital creatives, that VFX post work can feel separated from principal photography.
      I think there may be a renaissance of the more collaborative process which clearly and demonstrably works best and, if so, that’s a great thing for filmmakers and audiences alike.

      Yes yes, but let’s bear in mind that this comment is meant to point out that however good the effects were in Ashoka, without a competent story it’s kinda pointless. Lucas himself proved this to be correct with everything he did after Jedi. Doesn’t alter the truth of the quote.

    Dave Filoni is the true successor to George Lucas for taking Star Wars forward. Disney should relinquish any and all control to something soooo beloved as Star Wars and just let Dave take things forward, plan things. Btw, Ahsoka was a damn fine, DAMN FINE Star Wars show. Had a great old school Star Wars feel about it. Can't wait for S2. Just wish Ahsoka would have been done before the sequel trilogy as they could have used some story aspects from this series and carried ideas over.

    Why aren't the Purrgil color purple? In Rebels, when the Purgil were low on energy and fuel because of the mining facility nearby, the Purrgil were grey and lifeless. But when they finally got a taste of that sweet sweet Clouzon-36 compound again, they suddenly tuned back to life and instantly hyper-jumping left and right. But why in Ahsoka, they were able to hyper-jump but still looked grey?

    Please please please. Make shows that are more then 6 or 8 episodes. Stargate SG1 had 11 seasons about 22 episodes each of amazing content. It allowed the seasons to breath and they re-used sets and had bottle episodes. Picard Season 3 was also amazing. Bottle episodes keep costs down but you can still have a good story and character development. 6 to 8 episodes does not give enough time. Everything feels rushed. I'm probably talking to sand dunes at this point but if you want more people to be satisfied with the content make it longer. No more 15 min episodes. If you do that then make every show animated instead.

      @@omarbaba9892 Wow, a TH-cam polemicist... Alright, let’s talk about space whales and zombies in the Star Wars universe. These concepts are not creatively justified within the context of Star Wars. Zombies in Star Wars are no different than zombies in Marvel comics-they’re just a lazy attempt to capitalize on the success of "The Walking Dead." Only the least creative people (hacks, executives, and directors with creative control) would see the popularity of zombies and decide to shoehorn them into Star Wars as a way to boost its appeal. It’s a blatant and belated attempt to jump on the zombie bandwagon.
      Does Star Wars need zombies to be good? Especially when the only reason they’re included is that someone can’t come up with something genuinely new and interesting? If Ezra’s ship transformed into Optimus Prime and shouted "Cowabunga, dude!" would you be okay with that?
      As for the argument that "space whales are great because the galaxy far, far away already has giant asteroid slugs"... I disagree, obviously. Large, menacing, and frightening creatures should exist in the Star Wars universe, but they should be intriguing and not overused. A space whale is 1) a clichéd trope and 2) something you’d expect to find on a poster in a 1970s basement.
      My point is that Star Wars can and should be bold, taking every opportunity to knock our socks off, whether visually or through the twists and turns of a great, unforgettable story. It doesn’t need gimmicks or clichés.

And for zombies, oh yeah yeah banking off the walking dead when that show is dead and Star Wars zombies have been fan favourites for decades with things like knights of the old republic and especially the death troopers novel. And nightsisters first appeared in the 90s along with their different use of the force which we see in the show.
