A lot of the unfinished FX shots in there could be great resources for fanedits!
What unfinished effects shots?
could someone list them out?
the holochess table shot looks better than in the film more vibrant.
I don’t have a list, but I will say that, throughout the series - I’ve only watched the first 4, but that’s the end of the OT - any shots they use from the OT are definitely the original, optically composited effects. No SE or later changes! I’m sure others have noted this, and it’s obviously extremely necessary for a documentary like this, but it’s so great to see nonetheless. That is probably why the holochess table looks more vibrant.
ok thanks for your reply, as in the holochess board without the composited chess pieces looks as intended at least that seems to be the purpose of the statement on unfinished effects. To have un-blighted footage not subjected to an optical printer which would not exactly reproduce the same original image after the composite…
Joe Johnston confirms that a 2nd season is forthcoming, and that he just finished shooting his interviews at 32Ten Studios, the now-former Kerner building, where the ILM Model Shop from ESB and onwards has been.

I wonder where they’ll take it with this one, as the first season did cover everything, albiet rushed towards the end. Maybe they’ll cover more of the work from the 2000s, or maybe just tackle different sides of the whole thing. Always great to see more ILM old-timers talking about their craft
The first season covered everything up through Jurassic Park.
I could see them starting season two covering the next several years, including the SE.
How crazy would it be if they showed ‘97 Jabba in 4k? There’s “a whole new generation” that’s probably never seen that before.
Yeah what if they cover the prequels and give us some never-before-seen deleted footage? Here’s hoping!

Yeah hopefully they do more with the 90’s and 2000’s era. The 1st season seemed to focusing on a 20 year timespans ealy/mib 70’s to early/mid 90’s. With a teaser on the future of ILM. So the next season should be Mid 90’s to 2010’s.
We already know they officially still have the original elements of the original effects for the different catalog of movies.
For this season I’d love to see how they made the water effect for that 100foot wave for “The Perfect Storm” in 2000.
One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.
