Published on 24 Apr 2025, 14:00

For Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, ILM enlisted modelmakers John Goodson and Dan Patrascu to build a filming miniature of the Onyx Cinder, complete with dynamic lighting and motorized engines. Adam Savage visited the miniatures stage set up at Lucasfilm during the production to check out the model and chat with John and Dan about how they built the ship–a gorgeous model with no 3D-printed parts.
