  Animatronics just keep getting more impressive, and I’m really happy that CGI didn’t destroy this beautifully artistic industry.

  Them removing his little jacket and revealing he is a cyborg was disconcerting to me ha-ha.

  I absolutely love Schup. He is such a joyful human being. I hope Tested finds another excuse to bring him back to the cave soon.

  The eye movement sells everything so well. Wouldn&apos;t be surprise if this had more features than the animatronic they used to film the show.

  The clip at the end really made me realise it&apos;s not just the realism of the puppet, or the skill of the puppeteer but it&apos;s the combination of those elements with the work of the people behind the camera that really helps sell the effect. Puppetry is a human art and magic.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX74MJjqB4k&amp;t=1343">22:23</a> : his head falling when you remove the battery is heartbreaking! You didn&apos;t even warn him, poor thing!! 😅😅

  The translucent ears are AMAZING. Grogu&apos;s ears can be so expressive in themselves, like in season one and they were down so much of the time compared to in season 3 or the film, which really brought home that he was scared and sad. His happy ears make me also feel ridiculously happy.
