Mandalorian Season 2 VFX Video Reveals Nothing Is What It Seems

Mandalorian Season 2 Updates: Industrial Light and Magic, the company that brings. The Mandalorian to life through visual effects released behind-the-scenes VFX reel for season 2.

A behind-the-scene VFX Video clip for season 2 of The Mandalorian unleashes that nothing is what it seems. Since The Mandalorian lines up the adventures of the mismatched Din Djarin & Grogu in a galaxy far, far away, this naturally comes along with an unprecedented scope & scale for a TV series.

To boot, the production of Disney+’s Star Wars series takes up place almost entirely within the studios, so that the show’s visual effects group must utilize a seamless combo of miniature props, puppets, animatronics, & practical effects to bring the show to life point, albeit too few controversies.

The last episode of season 2 titled, “Chapter 16: The Rescue” aired in Dec of last year & features a contentious Luke Skywalker cameo during its final moments. While the virtually de-aged Mark Hill cameo wasn’t very well received, the sophomore season did cast a few impressive visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic, a VFX and animation studio was founded by Star Wars creator, George Lucas, 1975.

The Mandalorian invented the use of 360® virtual sets in lieu of screens and its season 2 stream showcases a compelling Krayt Dragon sequel.

Now, behind-the-scenes clips released by Industrial & Magic unleashes that nothing is what it looks like on season 2 of The Mandalorian, while it also showcases their visual effects efforts which bring up the show to life, such as the Krayt Dragon.

Although the featurette curiously doesn’t delve into how Mark was de-aged to appear in the final season. Watch the BTS VFX clip below.

Industrial Light & Magic explains that The Mandalorian’s visual effects were completely done in all five of their studios in five different countries. “The season- 8 episodes comprises nearly 5,000 visual effects shot in addition to all of ILM’s real-time effect work done for using during principal photography”.

Although the featurette didn’t touch upon it, the visual effect looks up Hal Hickel recently discussed the Luke Skywalker cameo on The Resistance Broadcast podcast.

Hal approves that Hamill was on set the day the scene was shot & integral to the process, along with the director of the episode, Peyton Reed, who has before done de-aging work with Michael Douglas in Ant-Man.

Hamill’s de-aged cameo is a huge topic of interest for many fans, it is still interesting to see how much VFX effort goes up into bringing the iconic Star Wars creatures & locations seen in The Mandalorian to life.

It can also definitely make the viewers stop to praise the level of work that has gone into each and every scene of the first two seasons. With a number of Star Wars off-shoot series currently in development, fans would likely have to wait until late 2021 to see season 3 of The Mandalorian.
