I think entire trilogy should me remade as 100% CGI movies, just in case.

And what about Jabba in ROTJ? It looks nothing like the one in ANH. Come on George, replace it with CGI!

Lucas has butchered the originals so much now, he might as well remake them.

Wow, how do you know this? He has said a lot of things that he backed away from!

As soon as "the Creator" wakes up one morning and goes, "you know Frank Oz didn't send me a birthday card this year" were screwed.....

I am beginning to think the same thing. We are getting to that point anyway.

The puppet looks so much better in this comparison, wiser, more dignified and most importantly, real. The digital yoda looks incredibly fake by comparison and doesn´t look like he´s a part of his surroundings (which is of course the problem with all the CG characters in the PT).

Got to agree with a lot of the resident apologists here for once (I know, I´m having difficulty believing it myself), George Lucas would have to be totally insane to replace puppet Yoda in ESB and ROTJ with a digital Yoda, not to mention that it would require him spending some money, so that would make it a definate no no.

I completely agree with you. The bottom pic looks like somebody just took away his cookie.

An odd post. You're curious what the reviewers think, so you want people who haven't laid eyes on the disc to ballpark it for you

I never really noticed how bad the PT yoda looks when you compare it to the OT yoda. That is really amazing!

I guess we will have to disagree on the yoda getting cgi'ed into the OT. I just really wouldn't put it past Lucas to do anything now. The small changes I understand, Wicket's blinking give him some sort of life, etc, Now changing dialogue to the climax of a 3 part movie? He is not right in the head.

I can see it now. A cgi yoda sitting in his hut drinking a Pepsi (w/logo)....

Yoda will end up completely CG. It's just a matter of time. Even if he deems it too expensive to do for the forseeable future - at the very least, he'll put it in his will for his daughter to carry out (along with a long list of other changes to be sprinkled into the trilogy throughout her lifetime).

Casey Broadwater will be doing the review. To do a thorough review of all of this stuff will probably take several days, so if he gets it on Monday or Tuesday before the release date, I'm guessing the review probably won't be up until Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully he will get it earlier, and work day and night to get it up sooner.

Very nice find, but I've already e-mailed Lucasfilm about buying a print of the whole thing (since some of the characters look cropped off). Since its Labor Day weekend, I'm not expecting any answers until next week...but you can be sure I'll post here, once I find out!
