Original Puppet Yoda was awesome, the CG version in the prequels will always be second best to this version. The puppet they used in Phantom Menace sucked though.

The last scene doesn't work at all with the focus on Mark Hamill 100% and no Yoda. I'm glad they didn't go with the above cut.

@Beto:

Yoda is a disability faker!, he groans and moan limping about on a cane and then throws down and jumps about like a frog on speed. I thought it cool though that he was so good with The Force he couldn't even be bothered to reach for his lightsaber - he just made it flip up of his belt straight into his waiting hands.

Ahh right nailbiter111 !. ;)


Also... Old Skool puppety Yoda > shitfest CGI Yoda (even though CGI Yoda does admittidly do v.cool things with a lightsaber like throw it like a javelin through a clonetrooper's head and then jumps on the still standing trooper's corpse to withdraw it).

EP:1 Yoda was worst... they totally messed up how he looks around the eyes:



EP: IV and V Old Skool puppety Yoda were the best.

Its like yoda never was the same after Frank took his hand out of him.

...and now look at him. He's reduced to whoring out The Force to sell Vodaphone mobile-phones!.
Shocking state of affairs!.

@ SimyJo

Well You could chalk that up to Yoda being younger.
