I wish I loved anything as much as Werner Herzog loves baby Yodahttps://movieweb.com/the-mandalorian-baby-yoda-werner-herzog/ …

Which amusingly puts him right in with Conventional Star Wars Fans ever since 1997 when we watched the documentaries on the special editions and wanted practical effects back

With this example being especially notable because it's a a rebellion from within the heart of the empire (George Lucas pioneered 100% greenscreen shoots with fully digital environments and characters in TPM)
-
It’s absolutely not a rebellion though—it’s the apotheosis of Lucas-style virtual artwork, only instead of a green screen with environments added in post, the digital environment is added in real-time. George was on set and loved it.

What's crazy is how much of the Mandalorian was digital. I watched the "making of" show on Disney+ and just about every shot that looks like it was outside was shot in a room full of high-resolution LED screens where the image is rigged to move with the camera

Which is weird, cause The Mandalorian is pioneering entirely new methods of digital fakeness.

Ironically it’s almost the opposite—the Mandalorian shot VERY few scenes on actual locations. All of Herzog’s scenes were in The Volume, the virtual set that used Unreal engine & high-def screens to create virtual locations. It’s digital fakeness raised to the next level.

Ah, I misinterpreted it, he's saying the next-gen technology feels much less fake and is therefore a great achievement (Just like the Baby Yoda puppet is, by definition, fake, but it's a better fake than the CGI model they were thinking of using)
