In 2011, the Blu-Ray edition of The Phantom Menace replaced the puppet Yoda with CGI to match the other prequel films.

Oz voiced the computer-generated Yoda in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005), supporting the transition of the character's rendering to digital.

He began a career of behind-the-camera puppet and live action filmmaking by co-directing The Dark Crystal (1982) with Henson.

The Muppet Show (1976) character "Fozzie Bear" is actually not named after Frank Oz, as is widely believed. "Fozzie Bear" is named after The Muppet Show (1976) builder Faz Fazakas.

He is one of the primary puppeteers responsible for the development of Jim Henson's Song of the Cloud Forest (1969) and The Muppet Show (1976) as well as over 75 other Muppet productions.

In 1963 he was studying journalism in California when he met Jim Henson who asked him to travel to New York for a 6 month try out with the Muppets. He's been associated with them ever since, bringing life to Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and many others.
