Come one come all.

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

No, I think Yoda's two worst lines were, "To the forward command center, take me!" and "A prophecy that misread could have been." The first time I heard the latter it actually took me a few seconds to decipher what the hell he was saying. That's when you know you've gone too far.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yoda's best line was something like:

- Good relations with the Wookies I have.

Sounds like he's bragging about his sexual compatibility with Chewbacca. I laughed out loud at that one.

Also great was Anakin's line after cutting off Dooku's hands and killing him:

- I shouldn't have done that. He was an unarmed prisoner.

I wouldn't survive one day as an employee of Lucasfilm. Hearing just one of these lines would result in me being tossed off the lot, still cackling as I roll into the street.

Oh, and on the topic - very smart people have said that you use CG only when you can't use something real, and I'd agree completely with that. The puppets simply looked more real. Far too much of the CG in the prequels pulls me out of the film because of its obvious false nature. Even when I'm not looking for it, it jumps out as being separate from the real actors.

The ROTS Yoda is a great example of CGI but, IMO, not a great example of Yoda, if that makes sense.

War does not make one great.

Take a look at Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy...the Vogon puppets were great.
