Having just watched TESB and then seeing that side by side, the CGI Yoda looks more like the original puppet than that abhorrent TPM puppet. I was watching and the puppet was alwasy looking at the ceiling while the CG actually meets the eyeline. And it has no expressions and looks drugged in the final scene. There is a reason we call it creepy and a reason why creepy is bad. The CG Yoda matches the rest of the PT. The only area where the puppet looks better is the hair. They f***ed that up in the CG, but the rest was well done. I fail to see why anyone who prefer that creepy version. It baffles me. Looks nothing like the TESB Yoda puppet. It was such a crap job that Frank Oz’s peformance is better joined to the CG.
