Appreciate CW and Rebel's seemingly endless variety of environments, so like reading:

Expect The Mandalorian season 2 to show us new parts of the Star Wars universe

“There's a very sustaining palette to the aesthetic of the show that honors all of the old and the new of what we know of Star Wars,” Pascal tells us of his role, which he has said was influenced by Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns in creating The Mandalorian’s lone gunslinger performance. “And then in very artful and daring ways, they're going to forge new styles,” he teases of the second season.

“I think they're very dedicated to not betraying what would feel or look true to the world, but there are so many so many special ways – none of which I can tell you – that they are experimenting with creating even more new environments in the Star Wars universe.”

I hope they use Lothal at some point, liked the aesthetic.
 
I hope the new re release Black Series Ahsoka figure released for PO today isn't an indication of how Rosario will look in the Mando s2... The figure was changed from an orange skin tone to almost a black skin tone.... :(

They asked different kinds of questions back then. You really do get the impression that sci-fi wasn't done much and sci-fi fantasy done even less.

Mark's youthful enthusiasm is great. He always knew the names of everything from the beginning.

That was an interesting watch, especially with the hindsight of what it would eventually lead to.

Interesting also that the questions were quite probing, and sometimes condescending that the film diverges from real science. Forty-four years later there are still the same arguments, from people who failed to grasp the nature of science-fantasy.

That is 15 months after JAWS.

But little did anyone know there that major significant change was just 8 months away.

Pearl Harbor was 8 months away which would usher in the modern studio blockbuster wars lol

GL might have been the man with a vision but GK sure was a man with an understanding of what they had on their hands and he and Lippincott truly worked their magic selling it.

Incredible that Lippincott died just a few weeks ago.

Always fun to listen to these guys, even if a lot of it is in the Gallery.
 
The latest Disney Gallery episode, 'Visualization', was pretty short. It was also the least interesting so far, apart from the beginning with the clips from Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back illustrating the kind of Star Wars The Mandalorian was building on. Then going back further to some of the visual source material that Star Wars was itself built upon.

It underscores the ethos behind the series, and why (for me at least) it works so well.

Though they could've gone further back, but each generation draws upon their immediate past for visual inspiration.

Nice comparison pics. One thing that struck me is talking about the budget with Kennedy there. I read or heard - can't remember - that budget constraints re the OT led to innovation and some of the most iconic scenes; and I suppose that's true of Mandalorian e.g. forcing the development of techniques that are predicted to change the industry.

So I wonder if Kennedy will throw more money at Mandalorian now:dunno. Because re the ATV interview the only thing Chow would say about Obi-wan series is that "it's in development" which to me isn't very promising. That's not saying "preproduction". Can't say I'd like any other series more than Mando, but it'd be nice to have some more stuff to watch on D+:lsvader.

The Mandalorian has been a flagship series for D+ so it's more likely the budget will increase. They were also talking about how much they save by using 'The Volume'. Whereas a regularly filmed series might have to be cut down for budget, or scenes left less than perfect due to time and location costs, the crew can go back into 'The Volume' and reset things as they were. Still must be quite a bit of work setting up the physical studio terrain, but that would be offset by not having to take everything back to the location and wait for the correct conditions to match.

Feels like almost anything is possible now, and in a more naturalistic way than the traditional CGI process.

Was very mildly bummed that hurt Mando WASN'T filmed on location in a night shoot, because aside from Baby trying to do good Imo the scene brings home the reality of the lonely life of a bounty hunter. Seems like a lot I thought was California was really the Volume.:lol

But for the series to work, that's how it should be. This tech is unbelieveably cool as well as the efforts to make the show true Star Wars - the research of the crew etc.:clap
 
Hargrave talks about upping the action - I'll just leave this here. Still impressed with the care going into this show.

?I am confident. The difference is, with Extraction, I?m in the editing room so I can be extremely confident [the action] is going to be what it?s going to be. I?m not editing these episodes. [?] But I know the footage we delivered, as a second-unit, they seemed to be happy with. We worked closely with the stunt team there, with Bryan Watson and the team that had done the first season; they did a really great job. You know, it was just to bring a little extra perspective, add a few things, things I?ve learned while working on superhero movies, little tricks which make the performances easier and using visual effects to enhance certain things. Just bringing a little bit of experience and knowledge to where we could take it to another level and up the ante. The next season is really, really cool. The way the story arcs is really cool. So we tried to have the action represent that and take it to the next level. I think we did that.?
...

?With that being said, the balance you have to find and the truth you have to adhere to is the character you?ve developed. So, if you have a character and for this guy ? who?s more of a gunslinger, a bit more of a brawler ? it would be out of character for him to come into a scene and throw out a round-off, backwards double flip and do a crazy kick just because you can, or because he has a helmet on. You have to remember to stay true to the character. So yes, you can put whoever you want in there, but you have to make sure that you reign in the excitement and make sure you?re true to the character and the story.?

Just to be a *&^% it's REIN IN like controlling a horse, not REIGN like ur crowning Aragorn or something.....:thwak:stick:monkey3
