I've heard several people claim that Wendy Froud (and sometimes even her husband Brian, who isn't even credited on ESB) created Yoda. To these people I say, that while Wendy did work under Stuart as a Yoda Fabricator, Stuart is the one who created the character and sculpted the character. Sometimes, depending on how open these people are to learning, I tell them the story about how Stuart created Yoda in his own image.
But you know how a lot of people are. Misinformed and reluctant about admitting it.
And yet, I even see that on Wendy Froud's own website, she claims to be the creator of Yoda. If you open the page linked here, you'll see it says:
"Besides working with Jim Henson, Wendy was also hired to sculpt a very important character in the George Lucas film THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Yoda became a central figure throughout the Star War series, becoming her most widely known creation."

Does anyone know what exactly were her contributions to the creation and development of Yoda? What did she sculpt--the body? Did she assist on the animatronics?
