This behind-the-scenes session focused on the ILM model shop and the physical craft behind Star Wars ships, miniatures and effects elements. Lorne Peterson, Don Bies and Jon Berg represented different parts of the practical-effects tradition, giving fans a look at how models were designed, built, filmed and maintained. The panel was especially valuable for fans interested in the tactile side of Star Wars: surface detail, kit-bashing, scale, lighting, motion, weathering and the problem-solving that made miniature photography believable. It also connected model work to the larger effects pipeline, showing how physical builds supported action, atmosphere and world-building.
