| Did anyone catch any news yesterday about how for ESB they were planning to use a trained monkey to play Yoda before Jim Henson stepped in with his puppet creation? Here's a link to the story. http://www.movies.com/movie-news/yoda-monkey/14169 Glad they used muppet Yoda instead of monkey Yoda in the end   photo credit: @mccrabb_will |

| wow - I had no idea  That would have been such a bad idea - constantly flinging poo at Luke and searching his hair for fleas   I guess it could have had some upsides "for the ladies" though ...  |

| That's a new one on me, thanks for sharing Paul. I know the original Emperor was part chimp, but I'm glad Yoda was a puppet! |

| Speaking of muppets and primates, did you all know that Episodes I, II & III where directed by a Muppet with the screenplay writing abilities of a primate, just thought I'd throw that coincidental comparison in there  |
