After I graduated college and got into the industry, I had basically assumed I would never get the opportunity to work on anything Star Wars related- for one, the prequels were over, and it sounded like maybe the films were done, but also, effects for Star Wars had always been handled in-house by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). My room was always filled with Star Wars toys and posters- and one of the things that most inspired me to work in film, was a set of books with behind-the scenes information on how they made the original trilogy. “My parents loved the film so much, they actually started collecting the toys before I was even born. “Growing up, there was no bigger movie in my life than ‘Star Wars,’” Claus said. The episode delved into the collaborative process, including working with Mark Hamill, to create an authentic and fitting recreation and explored the immense pressure and responsibility the filmmakers had in bringing back one of the most important characters in film history.

In the season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian,” the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker was one of the biggest reveals and best-kept secrets of the acclaimed show, thus far. “So I was brought in early in process (December 2019) to help determine how best to achieve the effects at hand.” “My role was that of Visual Effects Supervisor for Lola VFX,” Claus said. The episode exploring the making of the Season 2 finale and telling the story of the cutting-edge technology used to bring Luke Skywalker back premiered on Aug. 2006) is featured on the recent episode of “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian” to discuss his work on the Disney+ TV series “The Mandalorian,” bringing Luke Skywalker back to the Star Wars franchise.
