DarrylWorbey-Yoda

Worbey works with Yoda (and a hidden Frank Oz) behind the scenes of The Last Jedi.

Darryl Worbey is a leading UK-based puppet designer and performer who first worked as a free-lance contributor to the London-based Jim Henson's Creature Shop in 1986, when he was 19.

With an established background in both puppet operation, design, and construction skills, he worked closely with Jane Gootnick on the series Mother Goose Stories, Dinosaurs, and many other creature effects projects both in London and in the USA for the organization until the late 1990s.

In 1993, Worbey formed his own London-based studio specializing in puppets, skins, and animatronics for the entertainment industry. Notable creations have included the rebranding of British puppet icon Basil Brush, and co-creating The Leprechauns (Mister Sage, Mister Onion, and Shamrock) from BBC TV's Live and Kicking, which were written and performed by puppeteers Don Austen, John Eccleston, and Rebecca Nagan.

Worbey's other non-Henson credits include the Star Wars films Rogue One and The Last Jedi, where he worked with Neal Scanlan as senior puppet builder on the rebuild of Yoda. His studio has also built puppets for Paul Zerdin.
