I'm sad to announce that Stuart Freeborn has passed away.

Here's the source.
http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2013/...-yoda-and-chewbacca-makeup-artist-was-98.html

For those who don't know who he was, he provided make-up and creature designs for the first three Star Wars films. He's also known as the creator of Yoda and Chewbacca.
He also worked with Jim Henson on The Great Muppet Caper as make-up supervisor for the human cast members.

He was 98 years old.

R.I.P (September 5, 1914-February 6, 2013) :cry:
He will be dearly missed.
