I have a bad case of lego envy now. I also fear my mistake in step 209 would come back to haunt me in the end.

When I finished the Millennium Falcon, I had 2 1x8 bricks left over at the end. Still to this day I have no clue where they go.

They normally have a few extra bricks in each set right?

This brings up a question for me. How do they decide which extras to provide? Any lego enthusiast know? There has to be a method to the madness.

Yes, there are always extra pieces, but they are usually very small ones. Having 2 1x8's left over is generally considered "NOT GOOD".

Wow.

Also, just saw his Solo deepfake. Really impressive work.

That's a rather personal question, but thank you for that flattering nickname.

This seems pretty embarrassing for ILM. Why didn't they use deep fake in the first place? They are the premier SFX outfit on the planet, so I thought.

Also, very cool and very scary as hell!

When it comes to Disney, there is always the possibility of the mouse exerting influence to use things that otherwise wouldn't be used.

this is total speculation, but I could see them having all kinds of contracts to do stuff that isn't necessarily the best options

I'm not really seeing how this is an embarassing thing. This guy has specializes in a new technique, and they identified it and hired him.
They could have just been pissy he put his video out and snubbed him

Hired him to shut him up though.

Bet his deep fake days are 100% over, except if authorized by ILM.

Maybe a discussion for a different thread, but why can using a song immediately get pulled from YouTube for copyright, but using several scenes from a show not? Just wondering how the deep fake guy or screencrush etc get to make their videos.

That part makes sense. I'm just surprised they didn't have better tech to use when that CGI'ed Luke. Deep Fake has been out for a couple of years. And, frankly, their work on Luke in that was pretty pitiful.

Rumors of Disney+ casting for live-action Ezra Bridger and live-action Thrawn for a show that would presumably pick up where Rebels ended when those two were sent through hyperspace to the Unknown Regions.

Deep fake is taking someone else's work and building on top of it. That guy didn't create the whole scene from scratch, he used 99% of what Disney created and built a different Luke face on top of it. He's undeniably talented, but he couldn't have created that whole scene from scratch.

Don't see the need to immediately spin it negative, but ok.
