DCA is not a sequel or prequel to Disneyland but it too was created decades after the original

When I see Yoda flying through the air with that face.... it so reminds me of Miss Piggy crashing through the wall on a motorbike in The Great Muppet Caper. Since then, I can't shake the "Yoda is a Muppet" image from my mind.

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.

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.
