Tusken Raider & Jawa – Handcrafted Star Wars Puppets Made in Bali 🇮🇩

In this video, we showcase two incredible handcrafted puppets—Tusken Raider (Sandperson) and Jawa—brought to life by a traditional craftsman in Bali.

Using time-honored techniques, each puppet is carefully cut, shaped, and detailed by hand, blending classic Balinese leather artistry with iconic Star Wars characters. The level of precision and patience required is remarkable, and watching the process unfold gives a rare look into true craftsmanship.

These puppets are part of a larger collection we commissioned as a personal project. They are not for sale, and the full set took nearly a year to complete, with each piece requiring extensive time and attention to detail.

In this video, you’ll see:
✋ Traditional hand-crafted leather techniques
🪵 Detailed shaping and carving work
🎭 Two iconic characters reimagined through Balinese art
🇮🇩 A unique fusion of culture and creativity

This is part of an ongoing series, with more Star Wars characters being revealed in future videos.
