In one of the more unexpected tributes to late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, a Jawa from Star Wars can be seen playing “Eruption” in memory of the “intergalactic legend.”
“This was an extremely fun way to pay respects to a musical legend and to also challenge myself to recreate Eddie's amazing solo, frame by frame via stop-motion animation,” creator Thomas J. Yagodinski said. “Is it perfect? Of course not. That's impossible and nothing ever is. ... The Jawa is a stop-motion puppet I fabricated, and the guitar is the 1:4 scale mini guitar EVH-004 that I further customized. … Hope you have as fun watching as I had creating.”
