For the first time on the Clonestar Podcast, we’re stepping beyond the Star Trek universe to bring you something truly special. We had the absolute honor of sitting down with the legendary David Alan Barclay—the brilliant puppeteer and animatronic artist behind some of the most iconic characters in cinematic history. From helping bring Yoda to life in The Empire Strikes Back to operating Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi, David shared stories that left us inspired and in awe. This conversation was more than just an interview—it was an emotional journey through his incredible career and the magic of storytelling through puppetry.
