I Just Found A New Respect For The Crystal Foxes Of Star Wars: The Last Jedi

At first, obviously it was all about porgs, & the adorable space penguins that they are. Now however, it seems the animal attention of Star Wars: The Last Jedi has switched to the crystal foxes of Crait. They're called vulptices, or the singular vulptex. The crystals come from the evolution of eating the planet's surface. For me however, the total respect came with this video. It shows the crystal foxes throughout their development for the film. These are actual live action puppets mixed with CGI elements. Seeing the legit puppet just did something for me. I love actual puppetry, & think that this mix with CGI should be the norm. As opposed to full CGI characters with no real base, there's no comparison. I love realness you get from this mix even more so than just one or the other. This mix has created some amazing effects when used together. I can't wait to get a better look at these things in action now. What do y'all think though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
