First ‘Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian Season 3’ Clip Focuses on Phil Tippett’s Contribution
The first 30-second clip from the upcoming episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, focused on the third season of the show, has been released. More than an actual promo of the new episode, Lucasfilm decided to use this chance to remind us that the behind-the-scenes documentary is coming next week.
The new clip features a voice-over from Jon Favreau talking about how Phil Tippett helped them develop the look of the Mines of Mandalore in the second episode. Tippett was credited in that episode as “Visual Effects and Creative Design Consultant.” Says Favreau about the legendary stop-motion animator, who is behind the animation of the AT-ATs or the tauntaun in Empire Strikes Back:
“Phil Tippett was one of the original collaborators with George Lucas, and we thought that Phil would be great to collaborate with on what Mandalore would look like, to create something that was both tech and nightmarish, because we wanted the mines of Mandalore to look different from anything else we had in the show. And of course, Phil Tippett’s aesthetic was something that we thought we would really benefit from. We actually used his models to do photogrammetry and help build it into the volume and into the CGI.”

Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian season 3 will premiere on Disney Plus on June 28. It will be an in-depth look at how the third season of the series came together, from the early days of writing and designing to the actual filming and post-production work. Unlike for the previous two seasons, where they released eight and two episodes, respectively, it is expected that they will be doing only one episode on season 3. This was also the case with The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi. (Sadly, there was no behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Andor.)
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
