Elvis made their debut in the fourth episode of the second season of the television series Star Wars: Andor,[1] directed by Ariel Kleiman and aired on April 29, 2025.[3] For Andor Season 2, the production crew rushed to create Elvis, with meching done by both Matt Hart who did the head and Ashton McCarthy-Gardner who did the body, as well as additional assistance by Cerina Knott who helped them make their deadline. They were puppeteered by both Wim Oppenheimer and Neil Sterenberg.[4]

I feel like the majority of my work on this was on set, but managed to build a few heads too, which all appeared! I even got my first puppeteer credit for the Cyclops I built!! (Despite also puppeteering a senator earlier in the series...) In 2023, I also had a great trip with the CFX team to Valencia to shoot a load of great content at the impressive Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe. 1. Cyclops - I meched and puppeteered, performed by the amazing @cavincornwall 2. Boris - I meched and was performed by the amazing @lauren97king and puppeteered on set by the equally amazing @claireroiharvey. This guy should have had more screen time! 3. 'Elvis' the dog - I meched the head and @ashflash_26 meched the body, was a rushed build and looked great when we finished it. Shout-out to @cerinaknott for the late night we all did to get it over the line. Performed by the brilliant @wimoppenheimer and @neilsterenbergpuppeteer On to the next job with a bunch of incredible people 🤘" (backup link)
