Adam Savage Brings Grogu to Life!

Опубликовано 10 декабря 2025, 15:01

After spending the better part of this year working on this Grogu replica project, Adam and animatronic engineer Matthew Winchell walk us through all the movements and controls for this custom puppet. But to turn those motions and expressions into a believable character, Adam brings in puppeteer Michael Schupbach for a consultation and guidance in bringing this character to life!

With thanks to our friend Michael Schupbach for helping us out with the puppeteering and performing! Follow him here: instagram.com/mrschupbach
