You're not crazy.

The villain is indeed her, Nolte plays a mix of Phil Tippett and David Allen.

In that case Rian Johnson is burning some bridges in a TV format!

Phil Tippet is the storied stop motion animator who worked at ILM (clearly referenced with the name LAM).

More recently he released a horror passion project decades in the making (like the movie in the episode), Mad God.

The docuseries Light and Magic that was released last year was pretty good, he also did an AMA recently

Also, though there wasn't really any doubt Rian Johnson confirmed this tribute on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/1628812461582213120

Thanks for the details which I missed on delivering! I only noted Allen as part of the whole mix, as he was a fellow stop motion guy who pretty much retreated to direct to video stuff right after Twilight Zone.
