  • He was inside Jabba the Hut in “Return of the Jedi,” helped make “The Muppets” come alive and has been pulling the strings on Yoda since he was 19 years old. Meet Dave Barclay, the puppet master, builder and animatronic supervisor responsible for some of your favorite characters on film and TV. He started his career as an assistant puppeteer for Yoda in “The Empire Strikes Back” under legendary puppeteer Frank Oz. Today, he’s the chief puppeteer responsible for Jabba the Hut, taking your favorite “Star Wars” characters from words on a page to a galaxy far, far away.

    Not to be that person but at 0:56, the image on the right isn’t Dave Barclay puppeteering Yoda, but someone puppeteering an Urskek from the Dark Crystal.

      AngeloEV31 spoilers? The movie came out like 5 months ago. Even if he hasn’t seen it yet, there was no way that he would avoid spoilers for that long.

    Aw, got rid of the whole accidental carrie groping story? Shame- always seemed like she had a sense of humor about those things, though I guess these days it’s in bad taste :p

    Nothing for puppeteers before Star Wars? Rubbish! What about Thunderbirds et al. A huge legacy dating from way before the Muppets.
