In honor of the 22nd anniversary of Jim Henson's death, here are some notable famous fictional characters with their loving creators.
Movie Buzz Seriously, correct word order isn't rocket science. Some extremely clever editing takes away Yoda's trademark speech pattern.
Animals Buzz The 15-year-old title-holder for “World's Ugliest Dog,” Yoda, passed away today. He was my personal favorite of all the “Ugliest Dog” winners of the past 10 years (I think it was his earnestness combined with his good looks). Here's a look at some of his “glamour” shots through his competitive years.
Or at least one of the geekiest. Yoda speaks the truth. (via thechive.com)
Movie Buzz Mess with Yoda, you will not. This is why the home world of Dagobah is but a distant myth in Predator lore.
Kermit and Yoda actually have a lot in common. At least that's what Peter de Sève (better known for his New Yorker covers and his Ice Age character designs) thought. After all, they're both green, live in swamps and are Muppets - maybe they knew each other. (Via)

Artist Vincent Bocognani imagines the union of Star Wars' two most adorable denizens. An “If they mated” that gives you warm fuzzies.
Culture Buzz Artist Pixgraff made an adorable series of Star Wars characters from Perler beads. The 8-bit pixelated cuteness is strong with this one.

Culture Buzz Adorable photos of children perverted into degenerate comic strips—why God breathed life into the Tumblrverse. Many more over at Ariana's Comics.
Meet R2-D2 Tortoise and Yoda Dog. They want to re-enact a scene from Star Wars for you. You're totally welcome.
Celebrity Buzz Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression, the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.” – Yoda Via SWTORStrategies
Culture Buzz Star Wars characters constructed with nothing but typography. The font is strong with this one!
Culture Buzz E.T. and Yoda, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Somewhere on the internet, there's a slash fanfiction being written about this.
