Great video. The Volume is one of the coolest breakthroughs in VFX since Jurassic Park.

If the prequel digital sets were the precursor, then I congratulate George Lucas on trying to get to this point. Still don't like the prequels but damn if the Mandalorian doesn't look great

I won’t bore you but Lucas is personally responsible for cinema being where it is. We all know that.
But even on the small scale. He got 20th century fox to insist every cinema that wanted to show Star Wars to upgrade their whole set up audio and visual.
The originals and prequels. The studio wouldn’t give the film to any cinema wouldn’t.
That’s big corporate bullying in a way but for an actual benefit.

We wouldn’t have anything like the magic we have today in film without him.

I can't recall a single piece of music other than the main title theme which is like what someone on this board would say is Star Wars by way of a western.

That theme resonates with the feels.

Anyhow, I posted because someone thought they were cool by stitching the Jedi theme into Luke's arrival. It's on a commentary on that particular piece of music, but they really fucked up the scene.

Just watched the final episode of series 2 and wow.

I still get chills when the xwing flies in.

One of the greatest Star Wars moment ever when Luke takes Grogu

It’s almost too good.
That whole sequence with him eclipses the entire series. Even Ahsoka.

I love it though.

I still think it was poorly executed and a giant whiff. Bad face effects. Wrong music.

You’re totally entitled to be utterly wrong.
Admitting it publicly though? Yikes

The standards for effects are too high these days to accept what they did in that episode. A Youtuber outclassed them with a deepfake a couple days after the episode aired. I feel very comfortable with my take.

How they did it is irrelevant. The final product wasn't good enough.

I find myself completely capable of enjoying that scene AND also admitting that Ensign is correct.
