I think the visual disconnect results from trying to make him younger. It makes little sense for someone several centuries old to look significantly different over a mere thirty years. That, and they used silicone skin versus the latex skin of the original.

Or else they applied the same goofy rationale later used to justify "fixing" the "flaws" of the original Vader helmet design for ROTS.

 But if you compare Ep. V Yoda with Ep. VI Yoda, there is a noticeable difference as well. Yoda looks pretty bad in ROTJ, so why not make him look younger in the prequels?

 Because it's like making a 90yr old human look 45 because they are a year younger.

 Maybe it's just me, but I never thought he looked that much younger in the prequels, aside from his extraordinary athletic abilities. He doesn't look as real because he's CG, but age-wise I don't think he looks that different.

The Historical Discussion Thread: All Discussion Pertaining to History is Welcome

March 6:

There were lots of treaties and edicts today, but none of them seemed particularly important.

A.D. 1479: Portugal exchanges the Canary Islands with Castile for territory in West Africa.

A.D. 1965: The first non-stop helicopter crossing of North America.

A.D. 2013: Syrian rebels capture Ar-Raqqah, their first major city.

This is a dull day for history.

Nitpicking time...

Beru wants a good, long shower on a desert planet where their only source of water seems to be vaporators (which collect water vapour from the air)?

Blue milk should either be just "milk" or "eopie milk" or whatever you want to call it. There is no evidence that they drink white milk, so it seems odd that they would call it what we call it.

I'm also curious as to what kind of monotheistic religion that simply titles their deity "God" is  native to Tatooine, or where it came from if it's from elsewhere.

I think you pulled this off in a believable manner, with the sandstorm/twisters and all. It makes sense and it doesn't seem too shoehorned into the story.
