Inside the Star Wars Creature Studio

Gustav Hogan became enthralled with Star Wars as a 6-year-old kid in the Netherlands. His fascination with the production of Star Wars movies stayed with him. Hogan grew up to work in animatronics, and as creative director at Biomimic Studio in London, he has spent 30 years giving life to Star Wars characters like Admiral Ackbar, Maz Kanata, the Crystal Foxes, and Babu Frik. Hogan has a long portfolio of creatures for other movies, too, from cute animated animals to horrific monsters. (via Laughing Squid)
