Neat. I wonder if that will be before, during, or after Celebration?

Because I misread the post.

Quite possibly all three. It probably mostly depends on when they're done shooting Mando & Grogu and the volume has been freed up. Also, because it's a volume show, it'll need way more lead time for pre-production, which is probably what they're doing right now, if not soon.

The best and clearest picture I've ever seen of Phase I Captain Rex.

Hopefully that costume gets a display. Hopefully it is a costume.

I'd love a new, updated Vintage Collection figure of Phase I Rex!

I believe it's coming.

They already have the new Phase II body. They just need to switch out the first helmet they released for a Phase I version and that would work.

Ok. Bad memory on my part since I'm not interested in clones.

It is.

Ezra over a roughly 15-year period.

I can do a little bit better than that using the 4k source . . . but yeah, not great shots to work with.

Interesting stuff, but sadly no word from David Tennant on reprising his iconic role. I know that he wasn't actually on set and that he pre-recorded his lines, but it would have been nice to hear from him.

Wow, I had no idea Huyang was a puppet so much of the time, I had assumed he was 100% of the time. And it sounded like he was even reciting David Tennant's dialogue, which is pretty cool.

As I said, David Tennant pre-recorded his lines. This was so the other actors would have his performance to play off of.

I saw that in your post, but I figure you meant they played over a speaker off camera somewhere, I didn't expect Huyang's puppet to actually be saying the lines.
As cool as motion capture and CGI are, it's nice to see so many productions going back to this kind of practical in camera stuff.

Make no mistake; it still takes a lot of CG work and digital compositing to execute an on-set puppet performance like this. Those rods, trailing cables and green-suited puppeteers won't paint themselves out of frame after all! Plus just because they had the puppet on set and in-camera, doesn't necessarily mean that's always the footage we're seeing in the final episodes. Sometimes it's going to be necessary to do a full CG replacement, with the in-camera footage providing the best possible reference to match to (for both lighting and animation.)

Practical and CG are both at their best when they work together; each according to their own strengths.

I guess I just got used to the way they did things in the prequel era were pretty much everything was CGI.
