NO, NO, NO!!!
There is only one Yoda and that is the OT puppet Yoda. It's not a case of me being sentimental or hating the PT or being anti-CG anything like that, it is quite simply the fact that the OT puppet looks and acts the best.


Meh. Looks and acts are two seperate things.

It is strange, but I like the CGI Yoda and the OT puppet both for different reasons. The CGI Yoda just rocks. He gets to do all the but kicking and interacting with other characters decently. The ROTS Yoda just looked as real as the other characters. And most importantly, the CGI version was freed from the arm of Frank Oz. There is just something nice about seeing Yoda's feet and legs move when he walks around. The Empire Puppet never had this and it bugged me.

Still, there is a bit of magic in the Frank Oz performance that isn't quite there in the prequels. Frank's performance has an innocence and, uh, something else, that is cool.
