I'm not sure the Yoda in the poster is even the same CGI model used in the movies.

Agreed.  The poster unfortunately shows a Yoda with an especially 'painterly' CGI look overall I reckon.  It would have benefited from being a more dramatically shadowed shot rather than a brightly-lit one, as the effect just seems lacking here.  And the robes don't even seem to have the nuanced 'roughened' look that the movie CGI shots do, that are shown in certain posts above. 

However, I much prefer that there's a replacement CGI version which at least ties in with the same look of the one shown in 'AOTC' and 'ROTS' now, as opposed to the ridiculous original 'TPM' puppet which didn't. 

Sure, the overall CGI-heavy 'sheen' of the prequels give them a very different look compared to the original trilogy movies, but that is the least of their problems.  So while I far prefer the 'ESB'/'ROTJ' puppet of course, I'm certainly heartened that the prequel trilogy Yoda's at least match together now.
