Fans at Star Wars Celebration got a big surprise when Disney+ released the trailer for season two of “Light & Magic.” And we are getting an even closer look at the innovation that Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) brought to cinema.

According to the official synopsis, the three-part series “follows Lucasfilm’s visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, as it enters its most challenging and revolutionary period: the dawn of digital. From creating the first fully realized CG character to solving the challenge of digital water, it is an era that finds ILM scaling new heights of innovation despite dramatic setbacks.”

“The old way of doing things was gonna be gone,” said George Lucas in the trailer, seen in the video player above.

Ahmed Best knows the heart of “Star Wars” lies behind-the-scenes, and this Disney+ documentary takes a deep dive into the artistry that makes it all happen.

At Star Wars Celebration, On The Red Carpet spoke with ILM creative director Rob Coleman and ILM chief creative officer John Knoll about the project.

“I did the work so long ago, so being able to share it with my kids, my friends! We’re never allowed to say this stuff while we’re doing the films. Now that it’s out, it’s kind of fun actually, liberating!” Coleman beamed.

Knoll added, “Something that was important to me was that people see that this work is done by human beings… It’s done by a lot of passionate artists who work hard and pour their heart and soul into everything.”

Ahmed Best, who plays Jar Jar Binks said, “A lot of times when people watch ‘Star Wars,’ they just watch the screen, and everybody just wants to be on the screen, but what makes ‘Star Wars’ is all the stuff that happens behind the screen.”

When it comes to creating more seasons, Coleman noted, “This is a company that’s been around for 50 years, and these two seasons have only scratched the surface about what the company did. We’re honored that it focused on the ‘Star Wars’ prequels, for us, but there’s many, many more stories, as John said, that could be told. So, I hope there is a season three.”

“Light & Magic” is directed by Joe Johnston and executive produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Justin Wilkes, Sara Bernstein, Joe Johnston, Lawrence Kasdan, Kathleen Kennedy and Carrie Beck. Jacqui Lopez, Ted Schillinger and Michael Garcia serve as co-executive producers.

All three episodes of the second season of “Light & Magic” is streaming now on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this ABC station.
