The Mandalorian<\/a><\/em> quickly rose in our collective fan hearts<\/a> with its look, its action, and its tiniest bounty<\/a>. It just right away felt<\/em> like Star Wars<\/a><\/em>, and a lot of that was down to how gorgeous and seamless the settings looked. We believed Mando<\/a> was on a desert planet fighting Jawas, or collecting a bounty on a bleak, barren tundra. But those planets don\u2019t exist, not really. However, they almost do. As a new video from Industrial Light & Magic<\/a> discloses, the \u201csets\u201d for The Mandalorian<\/a><\/em> were about as real as they could get. Without actually heading to a galaxy some indeterminate distance away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As creator Jon Favreau explains, The Mandalorian<\/a><\/em> wasn\u2019t just real to us at home; the locations were there for the actors and crew, too. ILM worked with Epic Games on this project. Using \u201cgame engine, real-time render, and video wall technology\u201d they projected whatever backdrop they wanted in a 360-degree, virtual set. LED screens right the way \u2019round. The set moved when the actors or camera moved so it always appeared in the proper dimensions. It all came together in a massive room on a soundstage, but it looked like a million locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
