.........now thats funny. Though I did 'actually' laugh at the other prequel clip posted here the other day from adult swim (pee-per-papa-palpatine still sticks in my head). However, a 900 hundred year old CGI dancing puppet(sorry to break it to you Andy how they did it) surrounded by fake-arsed looking CGI clone/stormtroopers bopping along to a bad jam, epitomizes everything that was wrong with the prequels to begin with.If just because i just sighed as opposed to erm, laugh, or smirk, or whatever they expect the viewer to do (perhaps dance along?) that makes me someone with NSOH then so be it.

I agree...
It is a bit scary though...

This is exactly how I felt when I searched my DVD for easter eggs and found this rather than the bloppers like the first two. I was so far from laughing (which I assume was the purpose of the gag) I was irritated. The bloppers were at least sometimes funny and had OT music, I was kind of looking forward to ROTS bloopers. Very disappointing. Did ADM include this scene in his extended edit? Watching it again now I realize, as andy_k pointed out, it really fits the whole feel of the rest of the film incredibly well.

I fail to see how this is way too seriously. Most people would think that if you register at an SW forum then you take it was too seriously. Just because we found the easter egg of Yoda rapping over the top lame. If anyone was offended by it, it was because of the standards LFL has fallen to.

"Hey, it's made for fun"
Sure. But not every joke is great, despite good intentions. I might have given this one a half-hearted smile, but no more. I'm picky.
Another thing is if this was a clip made by a fan, who meticulously re-created Yoda and stormies, wasting his/her private time, I'd enjoy it more. Just as with SW-theme played on bagpipes (which I posted before). I hate bagpipes. But this guy worked hard to play it well and it was amusing. And this made me put off my hatred for bagpipes to enjoy this.
If some guy wanted to tell a joke in front of the classmates and failed, I'd, too, say "hey, he meant good, don't be harsh on him". Which doesn't mean I want him to pursuit the career of a professional comedian. In the case of rapping Yoda we have a part of a product made by professionals given a hard-to-get license to work on this subject.
So I can't be so easy on them. I'm spending my $ here, so I have right to be serious. In American language: I pay, so I demand. And I demand quality.
I don't hate CGI. I love CGI - provided it's done well and used well. I've always wanted to work in this field. So I'm not bashing it because I joined "CGI haters team".
I know at least basics of the trade, so I know about the resources needed to create even such a short clip. The time to render it on a "rendering-farm" (swarm of computers linked together). The costly motion capture tech. or time-consuming I.K. animation. Somebody from ILM (probably more than one person) was paid to make this one. And it is me who's paying for this, as I fuel GL empire with $ I spent on numerous music CDs, albums, computer games, model kits, posters and yet-another-release of movies.
And all I want is a product meeting my expectations for which I'd pay more $.
There are various people who call themselves "SW fans":
There are "I like everything that has SW logo on it", easy-to-please people, who accept everything. I can't do that, because my individualism means I have own taste and preferences.
There are "faster, more intense!" people, who'd gladly mix SW with Matrix, StarTrek or whatever else they like. I can't do that, because of my sense of style, which rejects such "mixes" (would you like a pineapple-anchovy pizza?)
And who am I? And what do I want?
I'm one of the people for which SW is a trip to childhood days. As I matured I found new ways of enjoying it, new "tidbits" I couldn't grasp as a child - so I can still enjoy a 30-years-old movie. I like the original "look&feel", which is not necessarily tied to old technology (I don't mind cleaning the matte lines and "boxes" around TIEs etc.).
What I'd like to see being done - where the $ should be spent - is e.g. restoring stuff like Biggs&Luke scene on Tatooine. I saw it on CD-ROM encyclopedia in lousy (quicktime?) quality. I want it transferred on DVD. Instead of wasting time on dancing Yoda, waste that time on cleaning that source video, to present it to us in decent quality, so that we can throw our $ on buying it.
Want to make SE edition of OT? Why not restoring the sequence when the snowspeeders attack AT-ST in ESB? They originally shot the F/X in 1979, but scr*wed up sth, so the sequence is incomplete. They could finish or re-do it with CGI in 1997. Why didn't they? This would have no negative impact on the story or pace of the movie. It would give us "more of the original, but in new package", without messing it up.
But no, the marketing execs know better. "Be sure."
Let me give an example. Let's say you often go to a fav. Chinese/Italian/Polish/whatever restaurant - and this is the only such restaurant in your city. If you want that kind of food (and you love it) you have no other option but dining at that place. They have monopoly on this.
It used to be OK, but the food quality/choice degraded over time. You were always giving them substantial tips, so you feel you have right to complain about it (hey, I'm paying my $ here!). But they show you that big sign "customers have no input on the choice of food served - it's all up to the Chef". And the Chef suddenly changed his mind - he wants to satisfy the tastes of other customers, so your fav. dishes (that go with the original profile of the restaurant) are gone to make up a room to what's trendy elsewhere (but out-of-place here).
Hey, it's only food, don't get too serious about it.
(see my post about LucasArts games if you didn't catch the "no input from the customers" line)
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

1. First off, I guess I'm honored you devoted a page long responce to me. I never said the joke was great tho. I just said peoples responce to the easter egg may be overdramatic. I don't think that this is any worst than moving having blooper reels. They ruin the tone of the movie, but you don't have to watch them.
2. You didn't have to pay anything for that clip. It was linked for free. Should you of decided to watch it on the dvd then I'm sure you bought that dvd for the movie, and not extras, cause it don't contain any. Besides that hidden one.
3. I wouldn't say being a fanatic rather than a fan is any better. It's very possible to enjoy Star Wars without having to delve into the whole universe and start reading the books and spend thousands on merchandise.
4. I wasn't looking for your life story, sad to say. I'm not sure anyone was.
5. That is one thing I never got. People complain about the scenes added to the movie, yet at the same time demand access to more. Some people actually want the work print of Star Wars to be released.

The ROTS DVD came with a whole disc of extras, which is considerably more than don't contain any.
To address your 5, it is not that people complain about new scenes and ironically want more. It is that once these new very modern scene were added the old ones were said to no longer exist. 1997 didn't give us too many new scenes, but rather old scene with CG cartoons drawn over the old frames (which seem to require upgrading every few year if the 04s are anything to go by. RSS wasn't saying he wanted new scenes, he was saying he wanted to see old original scenes that were not finished for the initial release of the films for various reasons. I have to agree with him, scenes like the parts of the Hoth battle that were filmed but not completed would have been great to see.
