Yoda

Yoda is so awesome, he gets his own post!
Did you know:

The voice of Yoda was provided by Frank Oz. Who also voiced The Muppets, Miss Piggy and Sesame Streets Grover and Cookie Monster.

Early in production on Episode II, it became clear that the lightsaber battle between Yoda and Dooku could only be carried out with a computer-generated Yoda. The ILM animators took great efforts to reproduce Frank Oz's puppeteering skills. Imperfections, like the constant wiggling of Yoda's rubber ears- which happened when Franks' arm was tired of holding up the puppet wwere such a part of the character that they were added to the computer generated form.

And my favorite factoid is: A picture of Einstein was on the wall behind the Yoda sculptures during development and the wrinkles around Einstein's eyes got worked into the Yoda Design.


EJ and Z with Yoda.
