Much like Rick Baker before him, Weed acted as some of his creations. Particularly, on A New Hope, he can be seen in the cantina as Ketwol, as well as Melas. The same puppet used for both characters. During The Empire Strikes Back, Weed chosen to be inside his own Wampa Ice Creature costume to film new scenes.
Because this role no longer required a tall actor, Des Webb not re-called. Thus, the “gory Wampa” in the Special Edition mainly played by Weed.
Weed continued working for the Star Wars saga with Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Also, working as a construction artist and digital model development artist for ILM. Order a genuine Howie Weed signed sketch photo Star Wars Wampa 11×14 for sale.
