RIP Stuart Freeborn

[Yanoda]

Stuart Freeborn, famous make-up artist who also created Yoda and Chewbacca has unfortunately died, at age 98.

You may have left us, but your creations, creativity, and legacy will live on.

May the Force be with you.

I saw this earlier. It makes me glad to see he was around long enough to observe the recognition and appreciation toward his works that the digital animators from the newer movies won't necessarily be able to duplicate. Though they have talent in their own way, they will never be able to duplicate what he did, quite like he did. RIP Stuart. The world needs more artists like you.
