Star Wars pioneered so many special effects that we take for granted today. When filming the destruction of Alderaan in Star Wars, the effects team at Industrial Light & Magic used a surprisingly simple practical effect. The planet was a painted sphere suspended in front of a black backdrop. To create the explosion, they rigged the miniature with pyrotechnics and filmed it with high-speed cameras at a faster frame rate so the blast would appear massive and cinematic when slowed down. One interesting detail is that the explosion was partially achieved using gasoline and powdered cement. The cement gave the blast a heavier, planetary look rather than a quick fireball. Because the miniature exploded outward so quickly, the slowed footage helped sell the illusion of an entire planet tearing apart in space. The shot lasts only a few seconds in the final film but became one of the most iconic visual effects moments in cinema history, created years before CGI existed. (Original 1977 footage)

A year ago, Andor completed its final act. Some of the best acting in Star Wars shows happened in these three episodes. In the interrogation scene, Krennic placing his finger on Dedra’s head wasn’t in the Andor S2 script. Ben Mendelsohn improvised it.

Some of the most captivating deleted scenes involved Pennington's Moff Jerjerrod. He did such a great job conveying a conflicted Imperial.

His face when he realises the Emperor is on his way truly conveys how terrifying Palpatine is. A great way to start the film.

12-year-old me: “This guy cut off Anakin's hand, he’s evil!” 30-year-old me: “You know, there is great validity in what he says.” Also, it’s funny that Dooku literally told Obi-Wan everything here; the Jedi were just too arrogant to listen.

I feel this is one of the most underrated fight scenes in the movies. A skilled Jedi versus one of the most dangerous bounty hunters in the galaxy. It really displays the tricks and skills the very best bounty hunters utilised.

This is by far one of the best examples of how a droid would navigate a battle in real life. Every shot is on target, there is no wasted motion, and the only limiting factors on its kill potential are the firing rate of its blasters and how much ammunition it has. It does not run or move unnecessarily quickly; it is just measured and precise.

One year ago today, Andor showed us the massacre on Ghorman, one of the most expertly crafted sequences in Star Wars. The Empire didn’t even give the order to start firing on the protesters. Instead they fired on their own trooper and let the chaos spiral from there.

For the ESB, George Lucas decided that a battle on an ice planet was necessary because he felt it was easy to "cheat" in space, as the black background allowed hiding errors easily. With a white background, the effects crews would have to work much harder, and the effects would be much more impressive.
