I love this article because I love ILM and I love practical effects and the two bond together very well. ILM has made the effects for many famous movies, most famous for Star Wars. I really like that this article shows how they make individual pros like R2-D2. They also explain all of the models of the effects from the prequal movies even though there was a lot of CGI used in those movies. I highly recommend this article to anyone who is interested in prop or set making. The article interviews the best of the best when it comes to practical effects.
