You've done us all a great service Ady.
Oh and to those out there hinting, screaming, pleading and implying a CG Yoda, I would like to respectfully comment that the puppet work of the ESB Yoda is the most amazing technical feat of the movie if not the entire series. Not for a moment did I believe in any of the CG incarnations of Yoda in the Prequels like I always do when seeing the ESB Yoda. Though I cannot speak for Adywan, if I was a betting man I'd say that's one element he's going to leave alone because Ady is all about aesthetic seamlessness - Everything he's agonized over has been to make sure every element looks like it belongs alongside the others - A CG Yoda was already a failure at ILM's level - a homegrown Yoda would be time consuming and ultimately breaking something that isn't broken.
Puppet Yoda rocks the house. Leave him be.

I don't want a new Yoda, but that was one of the few things that I could really find different between ESB and the prequels scopewise. I'm looking forward to what Ady can do to those, but first things first.

Can someone just look at these two photos - these were posted back in March 07 in the OCPMovie CE 2.0 thread.
This photo:

and this photo by "Zion":

Maybe my monitor isn't calibrated or something, and this isn't a suggestion nor am I trying to delay the movie, BUT which version of this shot is more or less the correct one?
Again, maybe my monitor is just not calibrated correctly or maybe it is an old version of his work - but in one version the colours look un-naturally saturated and the other looks well natural?
Thanks and once more I AM NOT A TROLL just wondering for clarification.

There would be no way i would ever do any sort of change to the OT Yoda.
Just a quick pop in to let you all know that i have only a few shots left to do and i now have the first 1hr 10mins of audio complete.

Is there anything else you need at this late stage or are we coasting along now?

Agreed. With all due respect to all you've done, the OT Yoda was nothing short of phenomenal and needs no updating.

Great news! I can't wait to finally see what the Special Edition SHOULD have been all along

I have used music from ESB> with a bit of editing it fits perfectly

The way i think about it is that his ship was damaged, like wedge was, during the battle and was unable to continue with the fight but stayed close by as sort of a back up. Either that or it was the documentary crew.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I love Frank Oz's Yoda, I wasn't suggesting messing with that, I only thought some minor improvements (not like changing his face to CGI or anything like that), to make him even more natural and less a (though great looking) puppet, but in a way than wouldn't distract people or they wouldn't even notice. But hey, it is just and idea, nothing more.

In the second, my first reaction was "NOOOOO, Adywan would never touch him" but on seeing what he did to the aliens in the Cantina some (very) subtle changes along similar lines would not be unwelcome. However I won't mind if he leaves him completely alone, and let's not crystal-gaze too much just yet.
Awesome news re the update, Ady! This will be the best Christmas ever! (Or January or, you know, whenever-you're-done.)

You're right, it was Frank Oz, I already changed it. Anyway, I meant exactly what you said above.

Well i've just got to the detention cell shoot-out and i have just noticed something that i haven't seen mentioned before (it probably has been but i just haven't seen it reported). We all know about the reversed music channels in the surround but what the hell is happening with the sound Fx in the front L & R channels? The music is correct but the bloody FX are reversed for the most part. I noticed something similar in the cantina and a few other minor places. Just listen to the blast that han fires when he says " i can't hold them off forever.." He is on the right hand side and the bloody blaster effect comes from the left speaker. Most of that scene is screwed. I guess these fuck ups are again down to creative decisions. the truth is Ben Burtt got his hands on the mixing desk and made a total screw up of the audio. Doesn't this guy know his left from his right? Surely with all the equipment they have at Skywalker sound this would have stuck out like a sore thumb and someone would have noticed it. Maybe they are all just too scared to criticize anything in Lucasfilm anymore. This is going to be a nightmare to fix even with the use of the laserdisc 5.1 because upon finer checking that too has problems and the dialogue bleeds into the front L & R channels throughout most of the movie, But ESB & ROTJ are almost perfect.
I guess i have a long way to go yet

If I remember correctly, Lucas asked Henson to voice Yoda, but he was too busy and suggested Frank Oz.

Only joking man.
Anyway, are you sure you just haven't got your speakers wired up in the wrong ports??
Only joking again man!
I'm sure I'll speak for everyone when I say you suck...Ha!..I mean, take your time geeza, no need to rush or panic. Only the newbies round here are like "when? when? when?".

Yep. I think we learned it from that ESB puppet Yoda we were talking about earlier.

The 'performance' was perfect, and as you suggested, maybe just some facial movements. Try some and if it doesn't fit in, don't do it.
HotRod, not all newcomers are impatient!

As for the discussion on what Ady might do on the next two - IF he decides to do the next two - perhaps they could be directed into the thread open on what people might like to see and leave this thread for the main attraction. It might help to prevent confusion and tension of 'when, when, when' and 'where, where, where'...
