"Nah, let's not actually have him take a bite out of it, something we can easily fix. Let's just focus on all the other CG stuff we can now add on". Thank You Adywan for smoothening out little things Lucasfilm should have.
I just don't get George Lucas. I just don't understand.
Why did he make Yoda ENTIRELY digital just so he can have ONE lightsaber fight in Clones? Why not have a puppet, and digitally tweak it? Then make Yoda all CGI for the fighting scenes? It's just a shame.
puppet yoda has such a different personality if u compare him with the cgi yoda but then again living in exile and such a misty space like degobah makes u go loco i guess.
Also Yoda should blink after he finishes a sentence a la "Stay and help you I will, find your friend" and when he goes from saying "Ooh Jedi Master" to "Yoda, you seek Yoda"
The only criticism I have of this clip is Yoda should blink quicker and more often. The longer you leave him staring the more you accept that he's just a puppet. If you watch any animal they all blink quite often, even dogs and cats, so really Yoda needs to blink a lot more each time you see him close up to maintain the illusion that he is in fact real and not rubber.
Puppet yoda is more convincing than cgi yoda. A real person speaking moves her lips very little, but cgi characters look fake when they don't move their mouths much. Final Fantasy movie had trouble with that when they tried to mimic human speech too closely - the characters looked LESS real because their mouths didn't move! A rubber puppet captures the effect better, imo. Adywan should tone the tweaks down a bit.
In the long shots - yes he does look realistic but close up and the CG is too obvious. I'm probably biased though because I grew up with the original films. (I was 8 in 1977) The actors gave better performances opposite a well 'acted' puppet. The cast and crew almost forgot there was an operator under the sound stage - such was the quality of Frank Oz' performance. That essence was lost when Lucas went digital in the Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith...
Don't know about you but when I watch a movie where the CG is all too obvious, it takes you out of the film experience. Avatar has set the benchmark because for all intents and purposes the CG was faultless.
The CG in Attack Of The Clones was too obvious and certainly in the fight scenes in Count Dooku's hide-out - looked almost like watching a high quality computer game sequence. I found the backgrounds looked 'flat' which may be due to rendering a 2 D background plate as a 3D image. The effects in Revenge Of The Sith were much improved.
@TK42138 ...except most of the time one was unable to hear Frank Oz under the stage do to all the set noise, in fact, most of the time, Yoda's dialog was shouted....
Great! Wonderful! The effects on yoda are subtle, but great! They don't take away from the magic of this scene either! I love it! Did you see the RiffTrax take on yoda nosing around in luke's supply case? When you see yoda's butt, the Riff Trax guys say "get yo bony ass out my luggage, fool!" LOL! Funny!
best part of this star wars episode XD

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Yoda should be digital Yoda in the OT. Would make him a lot more real looking!
Maybe when there is a re release they should do it. For people who don't want to have a digital Yoda in the OT, they wouldn't need to buy it! :)
Yoda looks so much more realistic as a CG Yoda.

I've just noticed after all these years Yoda is Tom Baker.
Forget the voice look at the eyes and the new improved facial expressions add to it.
