Stuart Freeborn the master SFX make-up artist who created Chewbacca and Yoda has died at 98 years old. It was a name (alongside Ralph Mcquarrie, Phil Tippet and Joe Johnson) that I became very familiar with as a child, reading the Star Wars official collector's magazine's and watching the incredible 'making of' documentaries on TV. He was part of the original team who brought George Lucas' vision to life and made the impossible possible. For that we are eternally grateful.
