Heh. Yoda has always had Muppet moments in the OT, especially when you first meet him.

It's funny, because in AotC I was pissed that you never see him as a puppet. He's always CG. He does still look like Yoda, and they want more mobility for him, but I think they should have stuck with a puppet for closeups. He should not have a face that moves differently than he's had before. You may as well take the actors' faces and CG them - at least then they'd have emotions. :rolleyes:

Which is why the Prequel series is so bad. You actually bought into Yoda the puppet but Yoda the CG?? It's just too much. Unlike Lord of the Rings, Gollum tho CG was very believable.

I'm not saying they did a bad job with the CG on Yoda. He looks fantastic. But he doesn't match the Yoda we've seen before.

You know "Jedi Mind Trick" is one of the best things to come out of these films. That and "You seek Yoda?".

I suppose you could blame Italy, since they filmed some of it there.

Well, hmmm, this thread is on its second page and I don't see anything that would justify keeping it in the Parking Lot.

Shut up you scruffy looking nerf herder! How's that?

After the 1st one I accepted that these 3 will never hold a place in my heart like the first 3. I accepted the fact that these are pretty much going to be a back story with some cool effects (not groundbreaking, but still cool) and mostly mediocre acting (not due to the actors, but due to what they have to work with).

And with that acceptance I can watch them and enjoy them for what they are and not think about what could have been, what should have been. Since it will never be.
