Designing Yoda was a painstaking and risky venture for all those involved. The
world of fantasy filmmaking was quite different in the late 70s, and the notion
of having a supporting character with significant screen time played by a puppet
was unheard of. Unlike the successful Muppets, Yoda was to be seen as a living,
breathing alien creature, and not a whimsical creation. Furthermore, the
character was meant to deliver ancient philosophies and timeless wisdom. Would
it
work?
设计尤达，对于所有参与的工作人员来说，都是一项煞费苦心又颇具风险的任务。幻想类电影制作业在70年代晚期与现在大不相同，在那时，由一个木偶扮演配角并在银幕上占用相当长的时间，是从来没听说过的事。与其他成功的木偶角色不同，尤达必须看起来是一个栩栩如生的异族生物，而不是某种离奇的怪物。难上加难的是，这个角色还必须能表达出古老的哲学和不朽的智慧。这可能实现吗？
In
the early story development of Yoda, the initial descriptions varied from a
large alien being to a tiny one. The diminutive direction ultimately won out,
and Empire's concept artists developed illustrations of gnome-like and elfin
creatures. In the story treatment, Yoda's full name was Minch Yoda, and in the
first draft, he was known only as Minch. Once the design was settled, Yoda was
realized by make up and creatures supervisor Stuart Freeborn, who designed the
alien as an intricately detailed puppet. Yoda was brought to life by the vocal
and puppeteering performance of Frank Oz, a veteran collaborator of Jim
Henson.
在尤达的早期故事创作中，对他的描述变化不定，一会是巨大的异族人，一会又变得身材矮小。最终小型化的方向占了上风，《帝国反击战》的概念画家绘制了一些貌似地精、顽皮淘气的生物。在故事纲要里，尤达的全名是明奇·尤达，在第一稿中，他甚至只被叫作明奇。当设计最终敲定后，尤达立刻被化装及生物总监斯图亚特·弗里伯恩制作出来。他把这个异族人设计成一个细节精致的木偶。吉姆·亨森的老搭档弗兰克·奥兹负责配音和木偶操纵，把尤达演得活灵活现。
Yoda
was meant to continue the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom George Lucas had killed
off due to dramatic necessity in A New Hope. Given the freedom to create a new
character, Lucas devised Yoda as an odd, ancient and incredibly wise mystic. He
tied the two characters together, though, by having Yoda be one of Obi-Wan's
instructors in his
youth.
尤达被创作为延续欧比-万·克诺比的角色，后者因剧情需要被乔治·卢卡斯在《新的希望》中杀了。鉴于可以自由创作一个新角色，卢卡斯把尤达设计成一个古怪、年迈而又睿智惊人的神秘人物。不过，他把两个角色联系了起来，让尤达成为欧比-万年轻时的导师之一。
For
Yoda's return in Episode I, a new "younger" puppet was crafted by Nick Dudman's
animatronics crew. For two shots in The Phantom Menace, Yoda was realized as a
computer generated
character.
为了让尤达在《第一部》中重现，尼克·达德曼的电动木偶组制作了一个“年轻的”新木偶。在《幽灵的威胁》中，有两个镜头的尤达是计算机生成的角色。
For
Episode II, Lucas again took a gamble by taking a beloved character and
recreating him not as his original puppet form, but instead as entirely
computer-generated. Early in production, it became clear that the show-stopping
duel between Yoda and Dooku could only be carried out with a CG Yoda, but
Animation Director Rob Coleman determinedly pursued realizing the Jedi Master as
an animated character throughout the entire
film.
在制作《第二部》时，卢卡斯又下了一次赌注，他决定抛开木偶原型，把这个备受宠爱的角色完全改用计算机生成。在制作早期，工作组就发现尤达和杜库的华丽决斗只能由计算机生成的尤达完成，但动画指导罗布·科尔曼并不满足，他坚定不移地努力，想把整部电影里的绝地大师尤达都做成动画角色。
Coleman's
crew secretly developed animation tests using key scenes from The Empire Strikes
Back. They animated Yoda delivering memorable lines of dialogue, but also shots
of the Jedi Master without dialogue, to demonstrate the ability to convey a
performance even when silent. Based on the strength of these animated tests,
Coleman's crew got the greenlight to create a digital
Yoda.
科尔曼的团队使用《帝国反击战》中的关键场景，秘密展开一系列动画测试。他们不仅制作出说着经典台词的动画版尤达，还制作出这位绝地大师不说话时的镜头，证明动画版尤达沉默时的表现能力。以这些有说服力的动画测试为基础，科尔曼的团队获得了制作数字化尤达的一盏绿灯。
The
ILM animators took great efforts to not outdos puppeteering skills, so they
actually toned down the biological realism in their animation. Rather than have
true, realistic lip sync and eye blinks, Yoda would instead have more of a "jaw
sync" and slower blinks. Other imperfections, like the constant wiggling of
Yoda's rubber ears -- which Oz always viewed as a mistake on his part -- were
painstakingly recreated in the computer-generated
form.
工业光魔的动画师们煞费苦心，避免过分超越当年的木偶表演效果，为此他们甚至降低了动画中的生物真实性。尤达没有完全真实的嘴唇同步和眨眼动作，而是追求一种“下颌同步”和延迟的眨眼动作。其它的不完美处理，诸如尤达橡胶耳朵的不断摆动——奥兹总是认为这是自己的操作失误——也被辛辛苦苦地重现在计算机生成的角色里。
