Fans suspect YouTube ‘deepfaker’ behind great ‘Book of Boba Fett’ CGI

A YouTuber, after going viral for impeccably remastering and recreating “Star Wars” scenes with “deepfake” editing software, was hired by Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic, according to The Wrap. His jaw-dropping clips first came out last summer — and it didn’t take long for fans to notice.Diehards across the galaxy suspect that the man, known only by the username “Shamook,” is responsible for a noticeable improvement in the computer-generated imagery featured in “The Book of Boba Fett” compared to that from “The Mandalorian” in late 2020.Shamook, who got the CGI job thanks to the popular videos he created of enhanced “Star Wars” characters like Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor/Sir Alec Guinness,) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford/Alden Ehrenreich), was especially known for the touch-ups on Luke in the Season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian.”The connection caused fans to speculate that Shamook was the reason why the de-aged Skywalker appeared noticeably more lifelike during yesterday’s cameo-filled “Boba Fett” episode, compared to how he looked in “The Mandalorian.”“It looked like Shamook’s work on “The Book of Boba Fett” Ep.

‘Star Wars: Visions’ Feels Like A Collection Of Anime Cover Songs With Only A Few Hits [Review]

There’s a story, it might be apocryphal, about how George Lucas went to Toshiro Mifune to offer him the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Star Wars.” It makes sense, right? It’s widely known how Lucas was inspired by, and cribbed heavily from, Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress,” the star of whom is Mifuni of course, and what with the robes and the swords and that “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is nobody’s idea of an obvious nom de plume for Sir Alec Guinness, Mifune.
