I know this is the Original Trilogy forums, but I found a clip of CGI Yoda from the Phantom Menace BluRay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KH1GOFUCHk

Unless it's just the same clip from the Ep3 bonus features, every other clip of that on YouTube was much shorter.

It's possible that popular opinion made Lucas cut Jar-Jar out of much of the PT (there was money to be made out of AOTC and ROTJ) but other than that when has he given a toss what other people say when it comes to these films.

He seems to revel in rubbing his original fanbase up the wrong way.

He really seems to hate Star Wars and just wants screw around with it while milking every last dime out of it's headless stump.

Dan Brown could write a really popular airport book finding some sort hidden message in this.

The new Yoda scene is pretty much out there alright, so this is legit. I'm interested in the other ones, like Yoda standing with the Council outside in the actual daylight.

That's right, it's great that one of the most iconic prequel moments is finally getting the respect it deserves. I suggest the "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" is added to Star Wars when Vader loses control of his TIE. And then to ESB when he enters the Hoth hangar and the falcon is just leaving, or after Luke jumps, or both.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-g3BFJWhqI

Interesting inteview with Phil on scifinow.com:

Here is an exerpt:

Was there anything you worked on that didn’t turn out quite as you hoped it would?

Phil Tippett:

“Everything, you know. You’re so anatomically focused on everything you can see how it would be a mistake. George is really good about that, with the walkers or just about anything, if you allowed him to he could find an editorial fix and just cut a scene where it was weak. Because the strength of the idea for the scenes of the walkers was so strong, that turned out good and successful, the Tautaun was more ‘hmmmmm’… it was a first stab because we were inventing something that later worked, but I don’t think those shots were as good as the walkers. The Tauntaun too was just a throwaway thing, it was like a horse so it didn’t really play, those were just shots, but if you have a strong theme you can get away with mediocre work [laughs] and the thing still works.”

I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

It was posted on Blu-Ray.com. I was amused by it. You have to admit it would be nice to see though.

SCENE: Exterior, Lucasfilm Ranch. Night.

Fans: George, what’s wrong?

George: Guys… do you remember the trilogy? The “original trilogy?”

Fans: Just a little bit. It died when we were getting old.

George: What do you remember?

Fans: Just images, really… from the Internet, and old laserdiscs.

George: Tell me.

Fans: It was really beautiful. Flawed… but perfect, with those flaws. Why are you asking us all this?

George: I have no memory of this “original trilogy.” I never knew it.

Fans: George, tell us. What’s troubling you?

George: The Blu Ray is here, now… a full box set.

Fans: How do you know?

George: I can feel the leaks hitting the Internet.... As long as I live, this will be the only trilogy anybody ever sees. Well, along with the prequels. You have to face it.

Fans: Why?

George: This is my vision, the way it was meant to be.

Fans (horrified): Your vision!? 

George: There’s more. It won’t be easy for you to hear it, but you must. You need to forget there ever was an original trilogy. You’re the only hope that everyone forgets I ever made a movie with models and puppets.

Fans: George, don’t talk that way. The original trilogy is a piece of history, and needs to be preserved for future generations!

George: You’re wrong, guys. The original trilogy is gone. This is the REAL trilogy. In time, you’ll learn to accept it as I have. Greedo shot first. Jabba was always there… and Darth, well, he’s a screamer.

Fans: (Staring Blankly)

George. Yes. It’s true, guys.

Fans: (sad) We… we know… somehow, we’ve known since 1997.
