ILM CLASSIC IMAGE: TOWERING YUZZUM!


An intriguing early ROTJ concept for the originally planned for second indigenous race of the forest moon of Endor: the Yuzzum, who ended up being too impractical and costly to realise, with the Ewoks eventually being the lone race helping the rebels beat the Empire. The idea of one of having one of these creatures in the finished film was eventually reworked into being a lone Muppet type alien, later given a CGI makeover, in Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.
