Ahsoka VFX Supervisor Richard Bluff On Mysterious Lightsaber Colors, The Clone Wars & More
Summary Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka series was nominated for five Emmy Awards. The Disney+ series essentially picked up after the events of the animated Star Wars Rebels season 4, although plenty of elements and characters from Star Wars: The Clone Wars were central to the story. The series certainly looked like Star Wars, and was nominated largely for categories that celebrated that fact, like costuming and makeup.
Richard Bluff Talks Bringing Animation To Live-Action In Ahsoka Screen Rant: You worked on The Mandalorian, so you’ve been there with Dave Filoni since he’s made his transition from animation to live action. How did you two work together in taking all the things he used to be able to do with his imagination and making them work in live action with VFX?
Because so much of the stuff in Ahsoka is lifted from Rebels, is there a general process that you had in terms of making those things feel like they were real and had weight and had mass in this world? Richard Bluff: I can explain to you the things that really affected us. It was clear from the very beginning, it was in the artwork, that Dave wanted to go with a more orange color for Baylan. The other thing is that Dave wanted to bring in a different sized lightsaber, a much longer double-handed lightsaber, which was an interesting thing.
Bluff Reflects On Lessons Learned From De-Aging Luke Skywalker It was great to see Hayden Christensen back. You did The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, so you’ve worked with de-aging these iconic characters. Was there anything that you learned working with Luke and Mark Hamill that you were able to improve on for the Hayden Christensen appearance?
“This Is Her Memory”: Bluff Details Why Ahsoka Didn’t Have A Bigger Clone Wars Flashback With the Clone Wars flashback, it was very cool to see that era be revisited with a more mature lens. Can you talk about where you wanted to pick up from Attack of the Clones and where you wanted to make your own version of that?
One Key Scene In Ahsoka Was Inspired By Inception The last scene I want to bring up is the one where Ahsoka is defending her ship from the hull. She's having a lightsaber battle in outer space, which feels very close to something you’d see in animation. How did that come together? What she's not doing is a backflip where then, all of a sudden, magic boots are pulling her back down. It's the idea that she knows the geography of the ship, and she's doing the flip, and if the wing wasn't there, she would just keep going, The wing catches her because she does a backflip. So, we did this pretty elaborate rig on set where Ahsoka’s stunt performer Chau was able to do a flip, we had the camera locked to the rig, and we had an elaborate overlay with the ship.
