Stuart Freeborn, who created Yoda’s appearance, was inspired by his own face and added wrinkles that he compared to Albert Einstein’s. Frank Oz was able to puppet Yoda because the set of Dagobah was erected five feet above the earth.

Kenny Baker And His Costume
R2-D2, everyone’s beloved droid, is one of the first characters to emerge in A New Hope. Kenny Baker, who died in 2006, was inside a two-legged variant of the traditional model. Other models, on the other hand, were operated remotely and moved on wheels by the production team. While Kenny Baker will always be associated with this iconic character, Ben Burtt’s sound effects for R2-D2 were created utilizing an ARP 2600 analog synthesizer.
