Salacious Crumb was one of the most memorable characters from Return of the Jedi, and it took two creative performers to bring him to life. The late Mark Dodson gave Crumb his voice while puppeteer Tim Rose gave him motion, and via fellow puppeteer Brian Herrings social media, Tim paid tribute to Mark.
