Quite apart from the flawless, creepy quality of the enormous Megapagurus Detritiphorus (aka Tet’niss the Mama Crab) but how cool in 2025 is it to have effects provided by Phil Tippett and Tippett Studios, one of the original ILM crew behind the original trilogy, bringing that spit and sawdust spirit to one of the years best releases. Watch how they made the cantankerous crustacean rise to the top of the heap.
The masterminds at Tippett Studios bring us behind the scenes of how they brought Mama Crab to life in episode 6 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Don’t miss all-new episodes of #SkeletonCrew Tuesdays only on Disney+ and stream #RevengeoftheSith, #ANewHope, #Solo, #TheMandalorian, and #RogueOne now.
