What's funny is that I can remember not knowing Yoda was even gonna be cgi in AotC until that first teaser-for-the-teaser (the "breathing" trailer) was released. Had they even mentioned it beforehand??
Of course, I should've realized that's what they were gonna do since one of the earliest rumblings circa 2000 was McCallum hyping how we were gonna see why they call Yoda "the master." I guess the image I'd gotten in my head just wasn't one of cgi.
