As a tune up for working on Episode III, and to make sure all the new programmers new how to animate the little green guy, the people at ILM were instructed by Lucas to replace the puppet in The Phantom Menace completely. They were to have it completed by the time he got them the footage from Sydney for ROTS. This was over 2 years ago. So don't think that in this release in November, a CGI Yoda won't be in it.

That will atleast make the film 2% better. Only 42% more to go.

Can a mod please move this to general discussion?
