REPLICATING THE ORIGINAL YODA PUPPET

This video is an (almost) complete walk-through of the ENTIRE 4-year long project of re-creating an authentic Yoda puppet made entirely from original film production assets. Even the original head mechanism is an exact replica of the one built by Stuart Freeborn and used in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Hm... They said they did everything they could to recreate the OG puppet for The Last Jedi. This is proof they didn't try hard enough. Amazing work!

[@nicolabrazzi3904]

Fantastic ! It seems so impossible to see a Yoda made perfect nowdays like the original

[@cdmpants]

Wow that is magical to see.

[@Marnie_C]

This looks amazing. Were there any upgrades like different materials or was it a complete 1-to-1 recreation?

[@STARWARSICONS]

Thanks Marnie! Was an exact recreation with the exception of the hand-held controller.

[@peterkominek2681]

Yes. As I suspected. The BTS is as insane as the final product. Amazing job.

[@STARWARSICONS]

Thanks Peter!

This is fantastic! How do you move the mouth? Is it some kind of mouthplate?

Mouth is moved via the right hand as per the original. :)
