I agree with SES above wholeheartedly. If that scene had to be shot at all, then I think it should have been more like this: Dooku tries to attack Yoda. Yoda sighs and just holds out his hand, palm out. Dooku gets stopped short. Then out comes Yoda's lightsaber all by itself and, while Yoda just stands there eyes closed, his lightsaber does all the duelling. Surely it would be much more in character (and much more super cool) for Yoda to just stand there and whip Dooku's arse using just the force.

I just thought to myself, in an all too frequent flash of genius, that we never see people defaecating in my stories. I decided that this left a big hole in the 'Star Wars Experience' (TM)!
So, I revisited all of the movies and have edited in CG-doubles for all the characters to show them at that most private of moments, so that we can all see how it happens! I'm particularly proud of the scene in 'The Phantom Menace', where I have Qui-Gon Jinn squatting over a midden in Mos Eisley, reading 'Funny Quotes The Senators Thought We Forgot!'"

I Believe that he is making more changes for the 2007 set.
The CGI Gollum from LOTR looks more realistic than that Yoda. Its funny how Luca$h always wants the SW movies to be the most technologically sophisticated films on the planet, but the PT doesn't even surpass the effects work of a low budget Ray Harryhausen film (which are superb by the way).

I agree wholeheartedly on both counts. Plus, Gollum was an actual character with a complete backstory who interacted with others, developed, and existed to serve the narrative. Harryhausen's work may look dated now, but now only does it have soul and imaginative verve, like original OOT effects did.

Does that mean sometime in the future we'll finally be able to see a hardcore porn scene between Slave Leia and Jabba the Hutt?

Oh, man! That would have to be the ultimate indignity! Maybe they could shoot the new scenes with Carrie Fisher in 'youthful' make-up and, of course, use CGI stand-ins ('cos that always looks great).
BTW, did anyone else think that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen looked distinctly effeminate in their make-up at the beginning of X3?
