So why do you guys think Finn didn’t know Poe Dameron survived? Wouldn’t there have been footprints in the sand that he ran away in? Wasn’t that robot with him? Couldn’t it have told Finn that he survived and ran away?

CGI Yoda actually replaced puppet Yoda in TPM.

“Creepy” Yoda, not “Real” Yoda. I’m talking about the very same puppet used for the OT. The guy is 800 yo, 30 years younger shouldn’t be that noticeable.

I feel you. What’s funny is that the TPM CGI Yoda looks considerably younger than the CGI Yoda’s in the rest of the trilogy.

I don’t remember CGI Yoda being different in TPM than in the rest of the PT. I believe it’s the same model. The difference might be that the skin texture, the animation and the lightning are slighly better.

Still, the best change made to the PT to date:

Robot?
Also BB-8 wasn’t even there. They were separated several scenes earlier.

And I don’t think Finn stopped to search for footprints after he saw the TIE-fighter sink and explode.
(Both the sinking sand and the explosion may have hidden any footprints nearby.)

Here’s the scene btw

Oya, thats a really good explanation. I dunno if I’d go back to look for footprints either if I knew there was sinking sand around.

A light breeze could get rid of footprints in the desert.

Wasn’t that robot with him? Couldn’t it have told Finn that he survived and ran away?

BB-8? BB-8 took off before Poe was even captured, ipso facto BB-8 assumed that Poe was dead after this:

EDIT: Zkin beat me to it.

My impression was that Poe was thrown far from the crash site, possibly in the opposite direction from where Finn woke up from.

I wonder if that’s from a prototype puppet, the skin is kind of smooth on the forehead?

Also, not as creepy as crypt keeper Yoda.

30 years older certainly is however:

Oh hai nightmares!

That’s beautiful nightmare fuel, indeed. I’d consider making it my next avatar if I hadn’t already decided on making my present one my permanent one. And I don’t want to make it my signature image, either; I rather like having Elisabeth Shue right where she is at present.

There’s always an avatar just for Halloween. 😃

ILM has unveiled the winners and honorable mentions of its 2016 SW art challenge.

Some breathtaking character designs there. Also, judging by one particular piece, apparently certain adult subtexts in ROTJ are an open secret at ILM.

Frink’s head may explode when he finds out about this.

Getting back to words that make sense when put together: this is probably the most disturbing piece of SW art from ILM’s competition. Even though it’s canon.
