What has impressed me is that in all the Imperial scenes - they have a lot of polished surfaces (floor, control panels, etc) and you never see a reflection of crew or film equipment. I'm sure most of this is the result of good planning before filming but also the amount of effort put in post-production to remove any it.
As a physical media guy, I'm happy that Disney decided to release season 1 on 4k UHD. And I hope to buy season 2 when it hits the shelves.
- iainmerrick 1y agoThat reminds of Arthur C Clarke writing about the process of making 2001 with Stanley Kubrick. Clarke visited the set one day, and was absolutely blown away, but jokingly pointed out that somebody had left some fingerprints on the Monolith. Kubrick was furious and Clarke was seriously worried he was going to fire somebody on the spot. (I think that's in Lost Worlds of 2001, which is a fun read)

- morkalork 1y agoAll the interior sets of imperial ships, especially the crashed one in S1 were absolutely gorgeous. The shiny black glass surfaces, analogue controls, blinking lights and fixtures everywhere were just wow. I can't remember the last time I saw such a well done rendition of "sleek retro-futuristic" aesthetic.
- chiph 1y agoPart of the design esthetic is that nothing is labeled. How do people know that the 2nd switch from the right opens communications? I think that in the Empire you have to be a fast learner. Or else.
