When ADM claimed Luke looked different because of his car accident, which is out of the control of all humans, Yoda had no such accident cause he's a freakin' puppet he's in the hands of the puppet people. Agreed?
I think that was a bad analogy on your part. But mistakes are made you're only human. Comparing something that was out of ones control to something that was with in ones control is a bad analogy. Agreed? If my point was that the classic trilogy also had main characters who looked different between films, and I used the fact that Luke looked different between ANH and ESB, then I think the comparison was apt. I wasn't even getting into -why- they looked different. Certainly, I didn't blame Mark for being in an accident.
The reason Yoda looked different was because the original puppet had disintegrated, and they set out to make a more emotive version of Yoda. In the end the combination of his new expressive abilities and his "more youthful" sculpt resulted in a Yoda that was a little further from what he was originally than should have been the case. That's why they are replacing this puppet Yoda with CG.
Originally posted by: see you auntiePoor dude got in a motherfucking car accident and you blame him for looking different between movies. That's in poor taste and seems to me like clutching at straws to use that to support your argument.
I didn't blame him, I'm just saying TPM Yoda looked more like the Yoda we see in the rest of the movies than Luke looked like Luke from ANH as compared to ESB and ROTJ. I was just saying if we could let it slide for the classic trilogy, why couldn't most of us roll along with something like that in the prequels? Where did you get the idea I blamed Mark Hammil for being in a car accident? We let Mark's difference in appearance slide because like I said the poor dude was in a motherfucking car accident.
And I never said you blame Mark for being in a car accident. Don't put words in my mouth. I said you blame his difference in appearance on being in a car accident. Let that slide, he could have been killed. Agreed? Yes it's terrible he was in an accident.
Originally posted by: see you auntie But we can't blame Mark for his change in appearance. Shit happens in life. But people (not me I don't care, so don't argue it with me) can argue why Yoda looks different in 10 years or whatever the argument is.
That was my point is either way you can make sense of both Luke and Yoda looking different. It just seems that a lot of people only wanted to roll along with stuff like that for the classic trilogy, but they don't want to do that with the prequels now.
Originally posted by: see you auntieI'm not proving anyone's point I'm stating my opinion. But see above. Yoda's appearance is controllable, Mark's is not. Bad analogy.
Well I think they tried to make a good Yoda for Episode I but it just didn't work out. Was it controllable? I don't know. With the original puppet being destroyed, they had to make a new one. They could have made it look just like the old one but I don't blame them for trying to make him look younger.
Originally posted by: see you auntieAt least Lucas could of made sure Ewan got better wigs. If they can provide Liam with a decent wig and fake beard why not extend the same service for Ewan.I think it's harder to do short hair wigs and make them look good.
That's a definite statement. Is that the expert opinion of a wigmaker?
I don't know any, it just seems logical to me as a wig layperson.
