Jon Favreau and his team are using cutting-edge filming technology on upcoming Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian, that is reminiscent of a Holodeck, according to Bryce Dallas Howard who has directed an episode of the show. From the opening shot of an Imperial Star Destroyer crawling menacingly through space in the original 1977 movie, the Star Wars franchise has always broke new ground when it comes to technology and the art of film-making. Whether it be pioneering CGI effects from Industrial Light & Magic, masterful puppetry from Frank Oz or award winning animation in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the franchise has always been at the forefront of the visual medium. Even Jar Jar Binks, for all the vitriol aimed at him, paved the way for the development of entirely computer-generated main characters.
