One other thing I’ll say about my second viewing:

Puppet Yoda looked a TON better than I remembered from my first viewing, but every time the fire was directly on his face, he looked weird. I don’t think I’ll have a problem with TLJ puppet Yoda the way I did TPM’s.

That’s the strange thing. First time i watched it was in IMAX and a lot of the effects seemed very smooth and cartoony for some reason. Yoda looked horrendous throughout. Saw it a couple of days later at the 4DX showing and everything looked different. The CG ships no longer looked like cartoons, everyone didn’t look like they had huge dark circles under their eyes and almost dead, like they did in the IMAX showing and yoda Looked almost perfect in all the close-ups shots. It was only the wide shots that had had some CG lighting f**kery added that made him look terrible, but still not as bad as the IMAX showing. The thing i did notice though was how the pupeteers squashed his face up way too much when they closed his mouth, which gave him this strange “puffed out cheeks with no mouth” look
