Great to see some Star Wars in here as well! I’m sure Cookie Monster would love to be a part of it!
Here’s a FUN FACT: Did you know that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop was NOT responsible for any of the non-human characters in the Star Wars series? Pretty surprising, since Lucas and Henson collaborated on Labyrinth later on, and Yoda was performed by Frank Oz. You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson's_Creature_Shop
Yeah, the Star Wars and Muppet universes make for excellent mash ups. I have fond memories of Mort Drucker’s Star Wars parodies for Mad, where Muppets used to pop up here and there. It’s a bit surprising that these two creature shops weren’t more involved with each other through the years.
