Everyone else sees an adorable baby Yoda. I see a puppeteer team practicing between takes.

On directing Baby Yoda& #39;s puppeteers: "We would talk it through with them just like I was directing an actor."
That& #39;s because puppeteers are actors.
We& #39;re actors.
We have specific skills, but we& #39;re actors like musical theater actors are still actors. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/mandalorian-director-deborah-chow-interview-baby-yoda-star-wars-first-female-916422/">https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-fea...

I& #39;ve performed in multiple productions of Little Shop of Horrors and coached puppeteers on more (used to own a set of rental plants). I& #39;ve had to have more than one Come to Jesus Talk with a director who thought the Voice should get a curtain call, but the puppeteer shouldn& #39;t.
In Little Shop, people come to the show for the puppet. Audrey II has more stage time than any character except for Seymour.
Audrey II isn& #39;t a special effect. She& #39;s a character who requires multiple actors working in coordination.

You know that Andy Serkis isn& #39;t eligible for an Oscar for any of his most iconic roles? Like Golem or Caesar?
Because somehow that& #39;s not acting because motion capture is... reasons.
SAG/AFTRA & Equity understand that puppeteers are actors. I wish the rest of the industry did.

Come on... #CreditBabyYoda
I want to know who those puppeteers are because they& #39;re doing darn good work.

Many thanks for this. IMDB doesn& #39;t have them listed.
Mind you, I& #39;m still cranky that they aren& #39;t credited with the character name, but at least they are present. https://twitter.com/camcoyote/status/1200504810853634048">https://twitter.com/camcoyote...
