Do you know how the character was made in Star Wars? Take a look below and I’ll tell you how the artists behind the film made the magic happen!

Like Jabba, the Hutt was made in Star Wars

The character was created by mixing practical effects with a little bit of technology! The film’s production team built a huge puppet, almost 4 meters long and 1.75 meters high! It was one of the largest puppets ever made in the history of cinema.

Maybe you think: “but Lu, why did they build like this?” It turns out that it took three people to control every part of the puppet, inside it. It worked like this, look: one person controlled one of the arms, while the other controlled the arms and mouth of the character.

But it doesn’t stop there, it still took another person to control the character’s queue, imagine the job, folks! So much effort was worth it, since the character was marked in the story, right?

Oh! But there was some technology that helped the ventriloquists, you see? They had small cameras that helped to see the puppet’s external environment and orient himself during the recordings! Meanwhile, outside, some operators used remote controls to move their eyes.

The magic of cinema is impressive, right? By mixing practical effects and technology, they created a memorable character. And you, did you know about this? Share with your Star Wars fan friend and see you soon!
