Oh, I think the opportunity to continue to give that moment on set the most information as possible.
So some of the reasons the LED walls are fun is because the actors get so much more information than acting in front of a blue screen.
There's a temptation to build less and less and to lean into the digital techniques more for cost reasons, for efficiency, to move fast, all sorts of good reasons.
But being able to make sure that set stays a magical space.
When we loaded the cast of Solo into the Millennium Falcon and there was a wraparound projection screen and we didn't tell them in advance that,
It could do everything.
It could do the whole Kessel Run.
We just had stars up there.
So as far as they could tell, it was a painting.
So they got in there.
And this was Ron Howard's idea, not to tell them, just let them get up there and experience.
He's like, well, why don't we do a dry run?
They're just still holding their script.
They're half ready for the shoot.
So they sit down in their spots.
And this is Donald Glover, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Alden.
And I can't remember who else was in that particular shot.
But their first time in the cockpit, Alden was playing solo.
So Ron does the countdown, and he goes, OK, ready, Rob, cue hyperspace.
And so we cue hyperspace, and the special effects guys shake the Millennium Falcon.
