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

Hang on. Baby Yoda is in multiple episodes. So... why aren& #39;t the puppeteers credited?

Hm...
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...
