From Santa Yoda to Rocket Sleds

Blue milk hot cocoa, caroling bounty hunters, and more from a Lucasfilm tradition.

By Pete Vilmur

In December 1977, after Star Wars had spent six months taking audiences to a brand-new galaxy far, far away, Lucasfilm began sending holiday cards to friends and corporate partners — a tradition that continues today. The very first Lucasfilm holiday card, which was an unassuming, Hollywood-themed greeting card, was probably sent to a few hundred recipients in 1977 and subsequently relegated to the backs of drawers — or worse — after the holiday season. The unfortunate fate of that first card would never be repeated, however, since the following year’s Lucasfilm card would debut two of the company’s most recognizable assets: droids C-3PO and R2-D2. And so began a long line of Star Wars-themed holiday cards issued by Lucasfilm over the years, a selection of which we are featuring here. Fans of legendary Star Wars artist Ralph McQuarrie will be delighted to see several of his works, which were exclusive to these cards, with most created between 1978 and 1983….

Why Dooku Said Sidious Was a WAY Better Master Than Yoda

Video

Count Dooku was trained by both Yoda and Darth Sidious and shockingly believed Sidious was the superior master. In this deep Star Wars lore breakdown, we explore Dooku’s own words, Sith foresight, Jedi dogma, and why he believed the dark side offered a fuller understanding of the Force. This analysis dives into Labyrinth of Evil, Sith philosophy, and the most overlooked Force ability in Star Wars.

Why Dooku TRAUMATIZED Yoda During their Duel on Geonosis

Video

Dive deep into Star Wars Legends as we explore the moment Yoda truly grasped the terrifying implications of Count Dooku’s power and what it revealed about Darth Sidious and the Sith Grand Plan. Drawing directly from Labyrinth of Evil, this analysis breaks down Yoda’s duel on Geonosis, his meditations before the Battle of Coruscant, and the chilling realization that the Sith were not extinct or improvising, but a structured ancient Order operating in secret. Discover why Dooku shook the Jedi Council to its core, how Sidious hid in plain sight, and why Yoda came to believe that only the Chosen One could undo the damage already set in motion.

The Importance of Stuart Freeborn’s Yoda Archive

Here’s the latest from Rancho Obi-Wan

Usually, when I write about items from the Imperial Archives, I’ll focus on items that you will hopefully one day be able to see at The Saga Museum of Star Wars Memorabilia, but this time, I’m going to include a couple of important items that probably won’t ever go on public display there. I am including these items, because of the significance of Stuart Freeborn’s Yoda Archive.

I first learned about Stuart Freeborn when I was in elementary school, reading about the making of each Star Wars movie. His credits on Star Wars and Return of the Jedi—“makeup supervisor” and “makeup designer,” respectively—are fairly unassuming; only his title on The Empire Strikes Back—“makeup and special creature designer,” really offers a clue of the major role that he really played. Stuart was responsible for bringing to life truly fantastic characters including Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, the Ewoks, and most notably, Yoda.

Many years ago, as Stuart was nearing the end of his life, he wanted to make sure that key materials from his production archive would be saved for posterity, so he made arrangements to find people who would appreciate and preserve these items. Lisa and I were honored to become the home for Stuart’s Yoda archive…

Drawing Yoda

Ever wanted to draw Star Wars characters just like the professional comic book artists? In this step-by-step series, Star Wars artists and illustrators show you how to draw some of the most beloved and memorable characters in the saga. So get your pencils and paper ready!

To show you how to draw the wise, old Jedi Master Yoda, Star Wars illustrator and cartoonist Randy Martinez explains his easy drawing steps with examples below.

Steps 1-8 are to be drawn lightly with a pencil. No pen, no dark lines. Finished lines and details will come at the end.

Step One:
Basic Guides — The Head
Green — Draw a big circle in the center of the page. This will represent the main shape of Yoda’s head.
Red — Draw a horizontal line through middle of circle.
Blue — Draw vertical line through middle of circle.
Step Two:
Body and Ears:
Green — Draw arch up to horizontal line. This will represent Yoda’s shoulders and upper body.
Red — Draw a side ways “V” shape with some curve, on left side of circle. The bottom of the “V” should meet the intersection of the arch and the big circle. The top of the “V” Should come down to the horizontal line.
Blue — same as Red but backward on right side of circle. These are the ears.
Step Three:
Facial Guide lines (VERY IMPORTANT)
Green — Draw a horizontal line. Even with where the arch line, meets the big circle line on left and right.
Red — Draw a horizontal line through the big circle, half way between the first horizontal line you drew, and the one you just drew (Green of this step).
Blue — Draw two vertical lines through the big circle. Both half way between the first vertical line you drew, and the left and right sides of the circle.
Step Four:
Facial Features
Green — First make some circle shapes to represent his circular features.
Eyes: Make some side ways ovals, using the intersection of guidelines (top horizontal guide, and the left and right vertical guides) as the center point. The bottom of the ovals should lie on the middle horizontal line.
Nose: Make a smaller oval that fits right between the top and middle horizontal guides. Using the middle vertical guideline as your center point. Cheeks: Make small circles that fit between the middle and lower horizontal lines. These circles should be touching the big circle.
Chin: Make an oval about the same size as the eyes. Use the middle vertical line as your guide. The bottom of the oval should sit at the bottom of the big circle.
Red — next we will do the more angular shapes.
Brow: This is an odd shape – a cross between a box and a triangle. Use your middle vertical guideline as a center point. The bottom of this odd shape Should lie around the top of the eye ovals.
Inner ears: Repeat the “V” shapes you made in Step 2, only make them smaller, and inside your original “V” shapes.
Step Five:
Define Facial Features
Green — Eyes: Using the intersection you used for the eyes, make thin almond shapes that are the same width of the eye ovals, but about 1/3 of the height.
Nose: Make a small circle inside the nose oval you drew in Step 4.
Red — Nose: Make two vertical lines from the right and left sides of the nose circle you just drew, up to the brow shape.
Mouth: Using the middle vertical guide and the top of the chin oval as your base point, Make a short “V” shape so the arms of the “V” go up to the bottom horizontal guide.
Blue — Brow: Draw half a “C” shape that starts from the left side of the big circle, and ends at the top of your original brow shape. Do this again but on the right side.
Step Six:
Red — Tunic: Starting where the left and right horizontal lines meet the big circle, draw vertical lines that are angled slightly toward the center of the page.
Blue — Give Yoda a little bottom lip. A little curved line below his mouth is fine.
Step Seven:
We’re almost done, but we have a few more small details to get.
Green — Iris of eyes: Make small circles (about the same size as the nose circle), using the same intersection guide for the eyes as in Step 4.
Red — Pupils of eyes: Make smaller circles inside the circles you just made.
Blue — Collar: Just below the bottom of the big circle, draw a curve with a square notch in it.
Ear: Yoda’s left ear has a little crook in it at the end. Make a little “v” shape to show that.
Step Eight:
This is what your Yoda should look like right now. No dark lines yet!
Step Nine:
Now is the really fun part. You can now use your pen or draw heavier with your pencil. We want to use all the building we have just done and draw just the important lines that make up Yoda’s face.
Step Ten:
Keep with your dark lines and add small details that make up the rest of Yoda’s facial features — wrinkles, nose holes, hair, and oh, don’t forget to color his pupils in. (Artist’s hint: leave a small white circle in the upper corner of the pupil. This works as a high light and will give your eyes more life.)
Step Eleven:
Erase your guidelines, and Ta Da! You have just drawn Yoda!
Step Twelve:
As you become skilled in the art of drawing you can add shading and expression lines of your own. The most fun part about being an artist is you can draw things your way. This is how I would polish off mine. Have fun!
