Star Wars Episode IX is often dismissed as a film made by committee, but with its constant on-set rewrites, loose improvisational style and hyperactive camera movement, it’s very much a J.J. Abrams film.All hail the Oracle, my horrible beautiful boy. We have a Patreon - if you like what we do, you can be part of it!

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that any criticism of J.J. Abrams’ work must discuss the Mystery Box.Check out Jon McCoy’s Episode IX Visual Sketchbook - it’s really fuckin cool! Also while you’re at it, Phil Saunders has also shared a heap of his work on the film with explanations of the process AND exact dates that really helped me piece together the timeline on this one.We have a Patreon - if you like what we do, you can be part of it! There are bonus episodes too.
