Haha, you beat me to it, I was going to post that.

didn't the fx guys pretty much convince George that they could do a fully 3d yoda? I wish they'd played that down a bit. What did George have in store for us before he was swayed to use this new digital yoda...?

By 3d do you mean CG? I think George wanted a fully CG Yoda for TPM, they couldn't do it justice but they did use the CG model for the overhead shot of Yoda circling Obi Wan on bended knee at the end when he becomes knighted and granted permission to train Anakin, if memory serves me correctly.

For AOTC pre-production in one of the documentaries George is worried about being able to pull off Yoda convincingly and to the public satisfaction. He mentions, and I'm paraphrasing, that they have to be able to do it, because Yoda's fight is the climax of the film and the success of the film depends on it. Gee, what ever happened to not relying on Special Effects to tell a story?

Dammit, I'm being negative when I try not to.
