It was directed by risingStar Warssuperstar Bryce Dallas Howard.
And, of course, there was a giant trash monster ready to eat our heroes.
That last part is not just super freaking cool, its super freaking real.
You know, the legendary team behind otherStar Warsstop-motion moments likeEmpire Strikes Backs AT-ATs andReturn of the Jedis Rancor.
Theres pieces of theMillennium Falconin there.
Theres pieces of an Imperial Walker.
There [are] droids stuck in there!
I just wanted to make it look as bizarre as humanly possible.
However, series production designer (and fellowStar Warslegend) Doug Chiang also told Dubeau not to go overboard.
So while, yes, there are astromechs and protocol droids in there, they were put in carefully.
Doug was very specific, Dubeau said.
He didnt want it to look like there was an X-wing sticking out of it.
So, its very well disguised.
So well disguised in fact that you probably cant even see it on TV.
Its in the DNA.
And thats what matters.
The sixth episode ofSkeleton Crewis now streaming on Disney+.
