Yoda (work based on the character from Star Wars Ep 5 & 6)
This is my latest attempt at Yoda - as he appeared in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Yoda's face and relative size varied quite considerably during the prequels probably due to the move from a puppet to CGI and other related issues. Yoda was 900 years old when he died (became one with the force) - in the Return of the Jedi.
The Phantom Menace, was set about 35 years before his first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back - so Yoda would have been 865 years old in the The Phantom Menace. In human years that's about 77 out of a life expectancy of 80. Take a look at the transformation of Yoda over the Star Wars series. Personally Yoda just seemed to be more believable in the puppet episodes 5 & 6.

Yoda's face changed considerably over the six episodes

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. This image is a slightly distorted frame grab. This is the look I'm aiming at.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Achieving that look is another issue!

Finally the look I've been aiming at.... Monty tries on one of Yoda's wigs.
