OBI-WAN KENOBI – HYBRID VFX BREAKDOWN
In toto: The everyday life of Jedi retiree Obi-Wan Kenobi: having a camel replaced by an eopie (the Star Wars alternative to the desert mount), munching on breakfast cereal for Jedi Knight veterans, receiving a visit from Senator Bail Organa (played by Jimmy Smits), spying on a child-headed Luke Skywalker – and having his evening ruined by Jedi hunter Reva Sevander, aka The Third Sister. There’s also a reunion with the most famous space dictator who can wear a cape without it looking like fashion crime.
Turn the page: Our last issue, DP 05 : 2022, featured Star Wars in a double pack. Firstly, the comedic unpacking short film E-11 (named after the laser cannon of the same name) by filmmaker Robert Hranitzky, and secondly the fan film Descendants of Order 66, which is the culmination of 15 years of hard work. You can also read about this in our completely free e-paper version DP 05 : 2022 ( the one with the Star Wars stormtrooper on the cover). The story The Making of E-11 can be found on page 6, Descendants of Order 66 starts on page 26.
