10/10 My first perfect score in a while. Yay me. ;-)
The only one that gave me any problem was #3. Then I just guessed with the silliest sounding but roll-off-the-tongue name I could think that they would use for a puppet.

I don’t recall Sir Alec Guinness looking as he did on the photo; hardly any resemblance.
I was thinking the same thing
That is most definitely him. Look him up on IMDB and see pics from some of his more bizarre and colorful roles. That leer is one of his trademarks.
I can still see Obi-Wan-Kenobi in there.

7/10 performance deserves applause
