#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), who was the oldest cast member at time of filming, how old were they, and what was their role?

What a correct answer would look like:

The oldest credited cast member in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) was Andrew Jack (born January 28, 1944), who was 72 years old during filming. He played Major Ematt (a Resistance officer, notably seen in the trenches on Crait). While Frank Oz (born May 25, 1944) returned to voice and puppeteer Yoda, he was slightly younger (71 when filming began, turning 72 during production). Peter Mayhew (born May 19, 1944) was also older than Oz but was credited only as "Chewbacca Consultant" and did not perform the role.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

The oldest cast member of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (2017) during the time of filming was Frank Oz.

Specific Details:

Cast Member: Frank Oz (born Richard Frank Oznowicz on May 25, 1944).
Age at Time of Filming: Principal photography for the film took place from February 15, 2016, to July 22, 2016. When filming began, Frank Oz was 71 years old, and he turned 72 during the production.
Role: He reprised his iconic role as Yoda.

Role Specifics and Production Detail:

Frank Oz provided both the voice and the puppeteering for Yoda, who appears as a Force spirit to Luke Skywalker on the planet Ahch-To. In a departure from the prequel trilogy (where Yoda was primarily a CGI character), director Rian Johnson wanted to return to the aesthetic of the original trilogy. Consequently, a new practical puppet was created using the original molds from 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back.

Oz's involvement was one of the production's most closely guarded secrets; to keep his return a surprise, his name was omitted from much of the pre-release marketing and credit lists. He performed on set at Pinewood Studios, working directly with Mark Hamill to recreate the master-student dynamic seen decades earlier.

Other Veteran Cast Members:

While other veteran actors from the franchise are part of the broader sequel trilogy, Frank Oz was the oldest performer to appear in The Last Jedi.

Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) was technically six days older than Oz (born May 19, 1944), but he did not perform the role in this film due to health issues; he was instead credited as a "Chewbacca Consultant," with Joonas Suotamo taking over all physical acting duties.
Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), another original trilogy veteran, was 70 years old during filming (born February 21, 1946).
James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) and Harrison Ford (Han Solo) did not appear in this installment.
