Jude Law in Skeleton Crew and Matte painting from Return of the Jedi

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Star Wars franchise is returning to its roots, as the upcoming Skeleton Crew TV show taps one of the original trilogy’s legendary VFX artists. Created by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man director Jon Watts and frequent collaborator Christopher Ford, Skeleton Crew is being touted as a coming-of-age story set within the Star Wars universe during the time of The Mandalorian.

I got to use all the cool stuff on my most recent Star Wars show. We had pre-viz, MOCAP, we shot on the volume, we did everything. But the most fun part was we also used all the old school techniques as well. We got Phil Tippett to do stop-motion. We did matte paintings, like real old-fashioned matte paintings. We got an ILM painter out of retirement to come out and do that. So to me, all that stuff is fun, but it's just another tool, and it depends on how you use it.

Since the franchise’s inception, Star Wars has been well-known for sitting at the forefront of visual effects technology. Not only did 1977’s original Star Wars result in the founding of Industrial Light and Magic, one of Hollywood’s premier VFX companies, but the first movie would also introduce a range of filmmaking technologies that would come to be adopted by countless other projects to follow.
