In recent news Stuart Freeborn the famous makeup artist who did Yoda Chewbacca has died at the age of 98. He died Tuesday in London from his age. He had a six decade career during which he worked on 2001 A Space Odysseys.
I think that this man was a great asset to the movie making business and shall live on forever.

He was a great example of the man who realized his dreams and had a full and happy life. I wish we all can die in the 98 years.
Dis is cray cray. I mean I don't like Star Wars but look at his make-up! GIRRLL!!! It's amazing! But that's sad that he died. :(
anyone who worked on Star Wars and 2001 has done more for the movie medium than most. It doesn't say if he was a member of the creature shop. I'm sure he probably was if he worked on Yoda with Frank Oz.
The force will always be with him :) BUT there will always be someone to take his place.
