- "Everything is under one roof, so when we did The Force Awakens, obviously they have a script, but they don't have quite an idea of what kind of creatures or characters this world inhabits. To sort of feed the imagination, there would be a whole design team on hand. And they would just pump out design after design after design."
- ―Gustav Hoegen
Gustav Hoegen worked as a creature supervising animatronic designer for the Star Wars Sequel trilogy and the standalone films Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story. He was also the supervising animatronic designer for the first season of Star Wars: Andor.
