Disney+ has released the trailer and key art for Lucasfilm’s Light & Magic, which were both unveiled today at Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo. Attendees heard from director Joe Johnston and producer Ron Howard via videotaped greetings and also enjoyed a highlight reel from the first season of Light & Magic.
A panel discussion followed, moderated by Sam Witwer, and included actor Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks), Lynwen Brennan (President and General Manager Lucasfilm Business), Doug Chiang (Senior Vice President & Executive Design Director, Lucasfilm), Janet Lewin (Senior Vice President, General Manager and Head of ILM), John Knoll (ILM Executive Creative Director, Senior Visual Effects Supervisor), and Rob Coleman (ILM Creative Director and Senior Animation Supervisor).
Lucasfilm’s Light & Magic Season 2 is a three-part series produced by Imagine Documentaries that follows Lucasfilm’s visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, as it enters its most challenging and revolutionary period: the dawn of digital. From creating the first fully realized CG character to solving the challenge of digital water, it is an era that finds ILM scaling new heights of innovation despite dramatic setbacks.
In addition to directing, Johnston executive produces alongside Brian Grazer, Howard, Justin Wilkes, Sara Bernstein, Lawrence Kasdan, Kathleen Kennedy, and Carrie Beck. Jacqui Lopez, Ted Schillinger, and Michael Garcia are the co-executive producers; Meredith Kaulfers and Christopher St. John are the producers’ and Nicole Pusateri is the supervising producer.
