Now that I see it again, the Episode I puppet really isn't so bad - especially when put side-to-side with that ESB shot. Everything's right but his eyes... oh, and the hair seems out of place. Ain't it funny how that works out?

And the jaw-line, chin, cheekbones, the height of the brow but other than that...

Remember George saw this as another example of vocal fans just being picky.

He gave us this 'improved' Yoda puppet and we didn't like it...stupid fans.

He had to cave in and turn Yoda into a CGI puppet because of the complaints...or was it because Yoda had to jump all across the screen shoving laser swords into clone troopers and Sith Lords because the story 'demanded' it ???
