so if you simply take the trunk and the rest of the tree below obi-wan. and put it infont instead of behind him, it would fix itr.

Right. But Yoda looks right at Obi-Wan when he first appears next to him. And why would Obi-Wan stand so far away from Luke and Yoda. Of course, the other question is why did he shrink himself if he wanted to be intimidating to Luke?

EDIT:

Here's the shot. I guess Yoda could be looking way behind him if we wanted him to. Also, Obi-Wan is floating. Very weird.

Doubleofive, thats something thats always bugged me. Obi-Wan looks so tiny. I'm hoping to make him larger in those shots because,as you can see, Yoda is looking to the side and not behind him, which gives the impression that Obi-Wan is tiny

That's what I'm saying! Obi-Wan is tiny! I've always found his close-ups funny in this scene because I'm imagining them zooming in on a tiny Alec Guiness!

After thinking about it, I'm guessing they had him tiny so that they could have this shot:

which is cool, but weird if Obi-Wan is standing 15 feet behind Yoda and impossible if Obi-Wan is just made larger.
