Here's a sample clip of how the scene with Yoda, just before Luke enters the tree, could be re-edited so as to allow Yoda more time to move from the ground to the fallen tree stump.
It's pretty rough, but it conveys the general idea. My apologies for the screwed-up aspect ratio as well.
I would still cut out the scene of Yoda from 0:31 to 0:33 and show Yoda AFTER Luke says "There's something not right here". That would definitely give Yoda the time to situate himself. As it stands now, it still comes across as Yoda just teleported onto the log out of the bag.
Heh, I just came back on here a moment ago to also suggest this SAME possible alternative to the one of perhaps adding in a brief RE-USED 'close-up' of R2 immediately before the 'jarring' Yoda 'atop the log' shot....but I see you've beaten me to it Monroville! :)
I agree that actually REMOVING the 'jarring' shot of Yoda 'atop the log' ALTOGETHER instead, and cutting directly from Luke taking his tunic off the root branch, straight to the 'close-up' of him putting it on while saying his line....would be just as good an alternative.
If Adywan decides to do it this way instead, and remove this particular 'jarring' shot of Yoda from the scene altogether, then it won't be any big loss whatsoever, as the next shot of Yoda in the movie (which currently comes immediately after the 'close-up' of Luke anyway) would work equally well as the first reveal of him 'atop the log', except he starts to 'lower his gaze' rather than starts to 'look upwards'. (of course, these are basically interchangeable shots of Yoda anyway, and Adywan could use EITHER version that he prefers to be the one that comes immediately after the 'close-up' of Luke now, but before we then cut to Luke again, as he says "I feel cold")
So I really like this option too Monroville, and hopefully there's something that will be done to amend things as they currently stand now.
