Force Material Episode XCIV: Ivan Manzella on designing Babu Frik, Snoke and more

Creature designer and sculptor Ivan Manzella discusses the influences and creative processes behind Babu Frik, Snoke and more!

Ivan Manzella is responsible for some of the cutest – and some of the most terrifying – creatures in a galaxy far, far away. He joins us to chat about how he got his start working for Jim Henson; how he came to design memorable creatures like Babu Frik, Snoke, Bor Gullet, Bistan, Lady Proxima, Grummgar, Rothgar Deng and more; and how Steven Spielberg saved Babu Frik's life!
