How we made the effects on Solo: A Star Wars Story’…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-47212262/how-we-made-the-effects-on-solo-a-star-wars-story

'The film Solo: A Star Wars Story has been Oscar nominated in the best visual effects category.

Visual effects supervisor Julian Foddy of ILM London spoke to Al Moloney about some of the challenges the company faced in helping to make the film.’
 

^ Quite in interesting video on how they achieved certain elements of the film (with a couple of cool surprises in there) - and that despite the director of the film changing late on… the release date for Solo remained the same.

‘Yesterday was a wrap for me. A huge furry thank you to all of the CAST and CREW of Star Wars Epidsode IX. What a bittersweet thing it is to end this trilogy, this life changing chapter of my life. And finally thank you @jjabramsofficial for giving me this opportunity. Rawrrgh! PS. That’s a vintage 1977 Chewie 🔥 Thank you Kathy! #starwars’

This was already posted this in the ‘Star Wars Fan Edits’ section as it featured a few ideas on how to change or improve certain scenes for anyone thinking of doing a Solo Edit.

It also has a few intriguing viewpoints and insights on the film throughout, so worth a post in here too…
 

Solo Deserves A Sequel: An Underrated Film Walkthrough’…

It features quite an interesting take on Darth Maul and an alternative idea for the ‘big bad’ to give a certain someone some background and also a personal grudge or vendetta against Han for in amongst other events in later films (starting around 20.50 into the video).

A shame that a Solo sequel very likely won’t happen - though a decent video on it regardless 😃

Wish there was a way to do a poll on this site.

Do we think that’s:
A. Jakku
B. Tatooine
C. Jedha
D. Some new desert planet

I hope it’s Jedha; it probably won’t be… though would be cool to see it again after what happened there in Rogue One.

 


 

On the wrap side of things today for IX it’s worth giving https://twitter.com/sleemo_ (or https://sleemo.com/) a visit - has some great updates, really knows her stuff and has some quality detective skills.

Seems John Boyega got a few wrap goodies, the one from Kathleen Kennedy looks superb (and the box it came in too) 😃

John Boyega wrapped as well today…

https://twitter.com/JohnBoyega/status/1096502278155108357 - ‘That’s a wrap on Star Wars episode 9 and the end to a chapter of my life that I couldn’t be more thankful for. What a process! It really has been a joy to be in these movies surrounded by amazing people. JJ thank you for making my dreams come true.’

Along with the same picture JJ posted earlier.

What is the latest reasoning on why they haven’t been released already? Waiting on the purchase of Fox to be finalized? Waiting until after IX?

My feeling is after IX - a future ‘Complete Saga’ box set release will likely sell quite well to the masses - sometime after they’ve cashed in on the regular blu ray / dvd / digital releases for IX, of course 😉

(Especially in 4K - or offering something different as a selling point than that of previous box set releases)
