“The biggest challenge for this sequence was that we weren’t de-aging Mark in every single shot, and we had a variety of performances that Lola had to work on, too.” “They effectively reproduced a de-aged version of Mark for the shots by combining the texture from his face and also Max’s younger face,” Bluff says. So that’s why we felt we could leverage a lot of Mark’s skill into a wonderful performance.”įavreau also went through a number of de-aging techniques at ILM, finally settling on Lola Visual Effect’s 2.5D process which was previously used to de-age Michael Douglas in “Ant-Man”. While Hamill was physically present on set, the production team also replied on body-double Max Lloyd-Jones because “we needed a body double in his thirties rather than Mark’s senior age now.” Bluff says Favreau was aware that a body in its 60s doesn’t move the way it does in its 30s so he “crafted the scene where there are only wide shots when Mark is walking through and then he comes to a stop, and he’s standing. “t was important to Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni that we bring Mark Hamill in to perform there on set, dressed in costume, and using him in every way possible - not only to help advise on the performance but also to use his physicality and his actual face whenever possible,” he explains.
