I haven't seen the clip you're referring to, but on 'The Empire of Dreams' (on the official DVDs) there is a segment where Stuart Freeborn, the Makeup and Creatures Supervisor who produced the final Yoda puppet, says that he designed Yoda after himself and then added Albert Einstein's wrinkles to make him look wiser. Just skip to Chapter Seven to see that as it is near the start of it.

Funnily, Stuart looks even more like Yoda now that he has his own wrinkles!
