The CGI Yoda in AotC and RotS is far superior to the bad puppet in TPM, so if they replace it, I'll be slightly glad. Or at least I won't care. Which isn't saying much.
Ok now I’m confused. According to TheDigitalBits.com:
One interesting note from the event: Producer Rick McCallum and ILM animation director Rob Coleman confirmed that Lucas has continued to digitally massage the other Star Wars films. Specifically, Coleman indicated that the puppet Yoda from Episode I has been replaced with a digital Yoda that matches the character as seen in Episodes II and III. The CG performance was specifically tailored to match to Frank Oz’s puppet performance. You’ll be pleased to know that Coleman also told me, in no uncertain terms, that Oz’s puppet work in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will NEVER be replaced with CG. So you fans can rest easy. You’ll get to see the new changes on a future, as-yet-unscheduled box set release of the entire Star Wars saga on DVD and/or HD.
I don’t know how to feel about that. GL cannot leave a damn thing alone. I mean even the current DVD’s aren’t the theatrical version; should we be looking to recreate and preserve the Original Prequel Trilogy (OPT) before it’s gone for good?
