soooo whats the big deal with having a cgi yoda? :confused:

Everyone is going nuts again over some MARKETING clips on a MARKETING site. Haven't we got enough evidence from the incoming previews that most of this material has been culled from the 1080p digital copies of the 2004 transfers that have now been extensively retouched by ILM. Matte lines, audio issues, colour timing etc are all from the original scanned '04 negative they are using, not the '11 transfer that has been retouched and put on the discs.

Anyone wanting to debunk this theory because of the new found digital episode 1 yoda needs to remember he has been around some time, in fact since 2008 when they were doing the Star Wars Musical Journey tour. In fact, it was that very clip!

Calm down people!

Yes finally a CGI Yoda in episode 1 TPM. The news on the blu-ray box set keeps getting better and better each day as September 16th gets here fast.

The CGI Yoda as been seen by anyone who went to see Star Wars in concert starting way back in 2009, he was already added to the segments back then. It's only logical to have it in the Blu-ray releases.

The CG Yoda change is an improvement over something we all hated in the first place.

Like some of the CG shots in Cloud City, they make the city feel bigger and more alive. No one's really complaining about them either.

But then there's the Han vs. Greedo scene, which was changed because Lucas wanted to justify why Han shot him, in self defense, so that kids wouldn't think it's okay to just pull out a blaster and smoke someone.

Changes are definitely not all good or all bad... only a sith deals in absolutes :D

The CGI Yoda does look better than what they had before. The only change to the near perfect Phantom Menace I would ever like is to cut down on Jar Jar just a tad, in general he is tolerable but at times he is too much. I used to want a shorter Podrace but I have adapted and gotten used to it to the point now I would prefer the much longer one from the deleted scenes.

A lot of kids love Jar Jar though. As do I. So why cut down a character just cause you don't like him?

I think Darth Maul and Boba Fett are pretty lame myself. But I wouldn't demand their roles be cut back even more cause of it.

phatrat1982 08-23-2011 10:52 PM

I meant to say tone down but just a bit not too much cuz I like him too, just at times he is too much. And I will get hate for this but I hate Boba Fett. Always have always will.

Starpower67 08-23-2011 10:53 PM

The cgi Yoda does look a lot better! TPM puppet always looked really bad imo. Well this is the one change George made that I like, as long as he doesn't touch the puppet in OT! That puppet looked really good to me, and imo better than the cgi.
