So, I didn't notice anything about this on the first page, but is there anything that can be done about Yoda while he is on Luke's back during his training? He looks like a backpack with a Yoda head attached to it, especially when Luke stops running to catch a breath.

Though I'm not sure anything can be done to fix that.

Hmm, maybe if the Taun-Taun sleeping bags go over well, the guys at ThinkGeek.com can make a Yoda backpack, including head! I think it would sell...

PS: I'm sure Ady will do some tweaking to it, though I'm not sure what he could do other than tone down the "puppet flopping" while Luke runs around...

Some ideas that could be used:

(1) show Yoda's feet do some movement ala he is trying to stay on Luke's back, so in a shot or two show Yoda "scratching" at Luke's back to get a better hold.

(2) definitely tone down the head bouncing back and forth, and/or add some warbling/straining to Yoda's voice to account for the fast, rough movement - try speaking while running full-out and compare that to when Yoda speaks; granted, Yoda isn't doing the running, but he's not going to have an easy time talking when Luke is moving all over the place.
