We head to Tokyo and Celebraton Japan for the seventeenth episode of the Lighter Darker podcast, and this time out we get the chance to watch the ILM 50th Anniversary Panel with a superstar roster of guests including Rob Bredow, Fon Davis, Janet Lewin, John Knoll, Lynwen Brennan, Masa Narita and Rob Coleman.
How did John Knoll decide to pitch the story for Rogue One? What does Rob Coleman recall about the audience’s reaction to Yoda’s first lightsaber fight? What was it like for Fon Davis on his first pyrotechnic model shoot on the Star Wars prequels? How did Masa Narita decide to quit his job as a businessman in Japan and become an artist at ILM in San Francisco? You’ll hear all these stories and more in Episode 17 of Lighter Darker, featuring ILM’s exclusive video coverage of our 50th anniversary panel at Star Wars Celebration Japan, now on YouTube.
