Re: The Mandalorian
I think it’s unlikely that ILM wasn’t consulted at the storyboard stage. The production team will have wanted to know how to stage the scene so as to make the best of the CGI. Certain shots, movements and lighting can make the CGI easier to produce while others make it more complex. In particular the precise amount of time the effect will be on screen has to be known from the outset because that feeds in to post-production timing and cost.
TBH I am glad the CGI Luke instead of using someone like Sebastian Stan for example ( who fans want to play Luke in a series that is not yet planned hahaha )

That’s the only thing that might make my daughter interested in Star Wars TBF

Sort of yes and no to that Chris. Timing and costs are definately the most important issues. VFX is costly, no doubt about it. The particular scene would not have been all that complex due to the short duration and could have been done a lot better compared to other VFX. It comes across as being done "on the cheap".
You have to appreciate the irony that a series which prides itself on high production values, quality and ground breaking visual effects can't get it right when it comes to such a monumental character and a pivotal moment in the episode. It is all about consistency and that was by far the worst moment in the entire series. They knew that was coming up and if it was a question of time and money as some have argued then they should have sacrificed something else elsewhere to make sure that scene was 100% perfect. If you can't do something properly then don't do it at all. It was embarrassing.

unsurprisingly yes. Do you just throw water or milk in yours and hope for the best?
Hayden Christensen is set to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Disney+’s latest Star Wars spinoff.
He will feature in Ahsoka, which is set to start production in 2022, alongside Rosario Dawson, who plays the eponymous character, the Jedi Padawn of Anakin Skywalker, who appeared in The Mandalorian.
Christensen will likely feature in flashbacks or as a Jedi presence, as tends to be the case in the Star Wars universe, as the series is set five years after Return of the Jedi.
I thought so but as production hasn't started yet I thought it would be a bit too early to start one and that this would be the best place for the news to garner attention.
