If you’re a fan of The Mandalorian and curious about how the series comes together behind-the-scenes, you’re about to be very happy. I recently landed an extended, exclusive interview with Second Unit director Sam Hargrave where he shared some awesome stories about his involvement on the hugely popular Disney+ series. During the 30-minute discussion, Hargrave talked about his experience working with the volume technology, the way you can adjust the lighting to get a very specific look, what it was like when George Lucas visited the set, and how they use practical effects, makeup, and creatures in conjunction with the visual effects to make The Mandalorian look like they are on location even when they’re on a soundstage. He also revealed his reaction to seeing Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka and talked about asking her lightsaber stuff, why he loved working with Robert Rodriguez, getting to work on the Boba Fett action, and so much more it’s impossible to list it all here.
