Quote of today

"Hello, I think... I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect. But I do believe they think I am some sort of god."

C-3PO translate what the ewoks say.
Return of the Jedi


Today we celebrate...
Stuart Freeborn at his 95th birthday (born 1914)

Stuart Freeborn was born in England, United Kingdom and was the supervisor of makeup and creature design for the Original Triology. He (and his crew) built Yoda, Chewbacca, the wampa, tauntauns, mynocks, ugnaughts, the sarlacc and a lot of the Mos Eisley cantina aliens.
