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.

 

Alright, back to mini-Obi-Wan for a second.  I think this shot could work if we go for the "Obi-Wan is standing really far away from everyone".  Yoda would have to be out of focus while Obi-Wan is talking, then as he is vanishing Yoda would come into focus, rack focus style.  If focuspuller on the boards is really a focus puller, he could tell us more about it.

I can't think of any OT FX shots that used rack focus or DOF. I'm not sure they could have done it with the technology of the time.

I always thought Obi Wan was standing away from Yoda and this was a perspective thing. The branch is the one shot screws it up, but like the tiny TIE in Jedi it's a mistake in the layer order. I hope Adywan includes a fix.
