The resulting PlayStation 2 cutscene character was so yikes that a YouTube deepfaker, Shamook, fixed The Mandalorian footage to such passable heights that LucasFilm hired him. "The biggest challenge for this sequence was that we weren’t de-aging Mark in every single shot, and we had a variety of performances that Lola had to work on, too.” “They effectively reproduced a de-aged version of Mark for the shots by combining the texture from his face and also younger face," Bluff said. Then, the Hamill and the body double were effectively put in a visual effects program (called Lola) and blended together until on screen we had a de-aged human smoothie. Apparently, a 30-year-old-looking body double was brought in, too. Essentially, they brought Mark Hamill to the set so he could actually, you know, perform. Richard Bluff, a supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic VFX, told IndieWirehow his company pulled it off. But I do know how computers built the scarier Luke we saw in The Mandalorian. All we know is that the episode credits an actor named Scott Lang as Skywalker's stunt double, and Graham Hamilton as the performance artist. So we don't yet know the specifics of Skywalker's digital resurrection in The Book of Boba Fett. Is Mark Hamill involved? Why does Young Luke's mouth move like that of a South Park character? Why did CGI Young Luke 1.0 give you nightmares for three straight weeks, while 2.0 only kept you up one night? I asked these questions too, and unfortunately found some answers.Īll right. In this week's installment, we see CGI Young Luke train Grogu in the ways of the Jedi, rudely questioning the little green baby's commitment to the bit the whole way through. After recreating young Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian Season Two finale-with a questionably zombified face that's still roasted online to this day-the computers have done it again! But better. Why am I contemplating the threat of digital afterlife, you're surely (not) asking yourself? Well, in Episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett, I couldn't help but notice that Star Wars once again took a shot glass, dipped it in the Fountain of Youth, and downed it all. 'Star Wars' Belongs to 'The Mandalorian' Now.'Boba Fett' E6 (Genuinely) Changes Everything.
