Yoda Rehearsal Puppet
This puppet was made for rehearsal use in The Empire Strikes Back. It's featured prominently in the book, The Making of The Empire Strikes Back in photos with Frank Oz, Stuart Freeborn, and Mark Hamill. Although never actually used on screen, the likeness of the character is close to the final form. This puppet was also used as reference by Stuart Freeborn to sculpt the on-screen Yoda puppet.
