ROTS Extras: CGI TPM Yoda

But in general, after all that, if they don't go and fix the AotC yoda to look good (or all that CGI while they are on this whole binge) I'l actually be pissed. If unnecissarily fixing yoda is a priority there and not fixing shitty CG from a whole movie slips by them then......goddamn. But is Lucas so....whatever.....I give up.

While I would have put it more eloquently, I agree. The RotS Yoda is nearly flawless, it would be a shame if the AotC Yoda was not updated (as TPM Yoda has been) to that standard.


And, as I've said here many times... it's an even bigger shame that they are not replacing Yoda in the OT as well.

Watching in order 1-6 is screwing up the original SW for newcomers!

I have grown up with both trilogies, however, and see them as equal, and don't really have a problem with the effects work in ANH, ESB, and ROTJ. In fact, for me, the lack of effects in contrast with those in the prequels gives the OT films a much greater feeling of bleakness. This then makes the PT seem like much more of a glorious time. In fact, I don't think it would have worked as well, if Lucas had made them in order. Instead of giving the (what are now) OT films that bleak, simple feeling they now have, he would have made the CG effects greater and greater up until the end of ROTJ. They would have, in my opinion, actually lost the great effect they have on me and others, if they were actually made in order. I mean, think of it, you see these great incredible places in the PT, and then all of a sudden, things look sad and dull, all the color is gone from things. Things are so grey and black and white, and very bland colors. However, if you'll notice, as the OT goes along, things get brighter, more colorful, until we reach Endor, an earth-like planet. Then we see Coruscant agin, and we know things are finally going to be better for everyone. It's brilliant the way they are now, if you ask me. Have you noticed how Lucas chose to open the saga in TPM with the first planet you see being Naboo, and then the very last planet you see in the final film in the saga, Endor, is also earth-like? Interesting.

I fully support Lucas' dream of everyone seeing them in order. The story contains so much more depth when all six are seen in order. So many things begin to make sense and come together. The difference ineffects doesn't bother me. Lucas himself once said the difference in effects works well as a way of showing how boring and plain everything had become, under the oppression of the empire.

IMDB Daily Poll (11/3/05)

Hollywood seems to have a hard time being creative and honest to their customers, while making a profit at the same time. There was once a time, as Lucas points out in Empire of Dreams, when movies were actually good. The 90's, IMHo ruined cinema, music, and all of the arts. Technology, combined with people with mind on their money, and their money on their mind have brought us these horrible, horrible sequels, remakes, etc. The only ones in the list I'm looking forward to are those with the classic actors, you know the one's who actually fit the qualification? Indy 4, Rambo IV, and Rocky VI will be good, maybe not great, but good.
