'Cgi Yoda is a superior effect!?'

How is a cartoon a better effect than a practical effect? Puppet Yoda requires actual work, as opposed to sitting on your arse doing nothing and occasionally clicking.

Yeah sure using a puppet may be a pain in the arse and may take time and a lot of effort, but that effort will actually show up on screen.

To be fair, they were discussing the replacement of the Episode I Yoda. They at the same time made it clear that they felt the original trilogy puppet Yoda was the real deal and that it could never be replaced.

A sentiment that is shared by just about everyone here if I'm not mistaken.
