10 Badass Characters Inspired By Ridiculous Things
5. Yoda Was Inspired By A Poster Of A Famous Scientist
Our little green friend, Yoda, is undoubtedly one of the wisest beings in the Star Wars galaxy. This is the guy who offered the sage advice, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Few lines in the entire saga are more clever than those two.
Yoda’s sharp mind is fitting considering his real-life inspiration which was… a poster. But, not any poster. This was a poster of the world-renowned academic Albert Einstein.
Special effects artist, Stuart Freeborn, claims to have been inspired by a poster of Einstein that was hanging in his office. He worked the eyes and wrinkles of Einstein into the iconic character’s final look.
