Watch the Star-Studded Trailer for the Ultimate Making-Of Documentary

So yes, Industrial Light and Magic was first created to make Star Wars. But it made so, so many movies after it. Won so, so many awards along the way. And the resulting technology changed the way the world works. All of that and more will be covered in the documentary, which sounds both exciting and ambitious. It’s a making-of documentary about probably the most important making-of company ever.

And while this is all very cool, one of the few things I’m a little skeptical about is how honest and balanced a portrayal this will be. Certainly, it’s aiming to be a celebration of ILM’s legacy and that’s great, but will anyone say anything bad at all about the company? Surely it hasn’t all been perfect over the years. If there’s some of that in there to make the doc more rounded, that will be most welcome.

We’ll find out very soon. Light and Magic, directed by Lawrence Kasdan, and executive produced by Kasdan, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Justin Wilkes, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan, hits Disney+ in its entirety July 27.
