ILM's New Special Effects Technology Is Explored In Detail

Live-action Star Wars properties have a reputation for impressive visual effects that help capture the magic of the galaxy far, far away. Thanks to visual effects studio Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Jon Favreau did exactly that in The Mandalorian. Having worked with ILM on previous Disney films, Favreau describes how shooting The Jungle Book on green screens and filming The Lion King completely through computer-generated scenes and characters influenced the new technology. Members of the ILM team also break down how they crafted the new 360 degree LED screen that projects a 3D rendered environment, allowing for a majority of the show to be shot on a sound stage rather than at multiple locations.

A Thorough Exploration of the Show's Practical Effects

Famed director Werner Herzog, who played The Client in The Mandalorian, became infatuated with the Baby Yoda -- also known as The Child -- puppet created for the show, and rightfully so; the Child is adorable. In Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, the practical effects team explains how multiple puppeteers controlled The Child's movements, from the blinking of its eyes to small mouth twitches. The team also talks about bringing Ugnaught Kuiil to life with a combination of practical effects and Misty Rosas' wonderful performance, as well as the practical components of bounty hunter droid IG-11, although the majority of his movements did require special effects.

Multiple Directing Methods Showcase Diversity and Talent

In addition to Favreau and Filoni, Deborah Chow, Rick Fukuyama, Taika Waititi and Bryce Dallas Howard (who made her directorial debut through The Mandalorian) all contributed to the project.

A Great Insight Into The Score

Having previously scored such movies as CreedCreed 2 and Black Panther, composer Ludwig Goransson's work on The Mandalorian is one of the high points of the series. Goransson, who also assisted Childish Gambino on his single "Redbone," brought a unique style of writing that helped create the series' tone. In Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, Goransson walks viewers through how he crafted the show's main theme as well as how he set the tone for several other key episodes.

All eight episodes of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian are available to stream on Disney+.
