Recommended Tags: receding_hairline, old, white_hair, green_skin, wrinkles, pointy_ears [For Yoda only]

-OTHERWISE- The LoRA will produce a person with the face of Yoda, which is useful for creating an old man (or woman) with wrinkles and a worn face.

LoRA strength Suggestion: 1.0 [For Yoda only] 0.5 to 1.5 for other subjects

Suggestions/tips: This LoRA also makes everyone else in the room appear to be Yoda or Yoda's species. Turn the dial down to 0.5 if the model is too strong or if you require other subjects in your room that aren't Yoda.

Sampling Method: Any; tested at Eular/DPM++2MM/Eular A @20-50 steps without major issues and fairly consistent results

EXAMPLES) *assume that LoRA strength is set to 1 unless otherwise noted

Issues/complications:

i) Fingers - even though the dataset I used had Yoda with clearly 3 fingers, and I labeled as such, the weights of Illustrious mysteriously take over most of the time and will give him 4 fingers, even after removing the 4_fingers from negatives. Not much I can do about this but at least 4 fingers is better than ... 5?

ii) When working with numerous subjects in the same composition, this LoRA takes over and transforms every one into Yoda's species. Using regional prompter/couple and/or inpaint should help with these issues, but also, describing the other person's qualities in full will lessen this. Again, a property of Illustrious' powerful checkpoint model and not necessarily a LoRA thing. My LoRA thing...

iii) Grogu (Baby Yoda) was not included in the dataset and as such, little babies look just like Yoda but small, sometimes with his wrinkles and white hair. Maybe in the future I'll do a Grogu/Baby Yoda LoRA or add it to this dataset once Star Wars officially names Yoda's species/race.

Background information no one cares about:

Sorry I've been away, mostly working on Wan 2.1 and Hunyuan video workflows the past few days, trying to make things work faster but not having much success. I've downloaded about a dozen workflows and it still takes me an hour to get a few seconds of video. I haven't given up yet, but so far that's taking a lot of my time. As far Star Wars, I think the Acolyte series was absolute ass. But Andor was amazing. I'm really looking forward to the next (and final) season of Andor, which was the best thing to come to Star Wars since the original series. I feel that I could write for both Star Wars and Star Trek and revive both franchises, but then so does every LoRA maker on here and I'm not even good at making LoRAs 😔
