    I'll never buy another packaging of the Star Wars movies until they come with a free puppy.

    Interestingly there is no mention of the 32" Falcon insert in the Death Star Hangar when Leia says to our heros "You came here in that thing?"

    and WTF is with Ben's "new" scream at the Tusken Raiders? There was nothing wrong with the original.

    I've decided

    I'm going to get the Blu Rays anyways. I haven't seen any of the films in about 6-7 years

    They're never going to be released 100% perfect

    Well the next release will be the 3D version, and that'll be tinkered to the point where I'm not sure we'll be watching the same movies

    I'm going to still be getting them as well but not this month. I'll most likely get it after I move my girlfriend here to Utah and we have our own apartment so we can watch it together. Maybe by then it'll be down a bit in price.

    All though I have all ready seen them by other methods but it isn't the same as watching them on a 42'' HDTV.

    I will also say that seeing the CG Yoda in TPM is far better than that damn ugly puppet. I hated that thing, it looked like Yoda was on crack and not even resembles anything close to the Yoda in ESB and ROTJ.

    The puppet from TPM is easily the best thing to come out of that film. What the angry fanboys fail to understand is that Yoda in TESB and ROTJ looks the way he does because he's been living in a swamp and is dying of old-age. The puppet in TPM shows him as a much healthier Jedi-master.

    CGI Yoda never once looked convincing to me.

    Nothing beats the puppet from ESB and ROTJ, but I'm so sorry Steef: the TPM puppet is just ridiculously BAD. I'd take the CGI Yoda over THAT puppet any day (NOT the OT puppet of course).

    I agree. Since Yoda never looked good in the prequels anyway, I'll take the lesser evil.

    It's not like I can bring myself to think that's the same character from ESB in any case.

    It looks like that in "over 40 hours of bonus features" on the SW Blu-ray box, John Williams gets approx. 6 minutes of screentime.

    yeah, but you've always been a Lucas apologist.
    I'm soon expecting a "The NOOOO in ROTJ actually makes a lot of sense" thread!

    The puppet in TPM looks fine. It looks like a younger version of Yoda, which was the point.

    What the angry fanboys fail to understand is that Yoda in TESB and ROTJ looks the way he does because he's been living in a swamp and is dying of old-age.

    Only in the sides of your head!

    But the thing is, why is Lucas so inconsistent? We have a puppet for the OT, but CGI for the prequels?

    To be perfectly honest the old puppet, TPM puppet and CGI version look like 3 different things to me.

    I also much preferred the puppet Yoda in TPM. Yeah, he was a little misshapen and oddly colored, and perhaps not animated quite as well as the original, but at least he basically looked like Yoda. To me the CG Yoda looks about as close to the original as the CG Jabba in ANH does to the puppet. And I'm not talking about the revised 2004 version, but this thing:

    More tinkering of the Star Wars Original Trilogy - Page 6 Jabba

    My problem with CG Yoda is that even though he's a more accurate reproduction of the ESB model he's all wrong in the eyes, as well as the mouth. But without the right eyes you don't have Yoda.

    A very fair review of the BLu-ray set by The Digital Bits' Bill Hunt:

    http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviewshd/bdreviews091611.html

    I think this passage is worth mentioning:

    For those of you who hate the past changes (and the new BD changes), believe me I get it. Let me just say, it could be a LOT worse. Sources well-positioned to know have told me that Lucas actually seriously considered replacing the puppet Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with the all-digital version, and even had tests conducted to see how it would look. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. (For the record, I'm told that the digital Yoda just didn't look right or mesh well with the real, physical, practical Dagobah sets. Shocking, I know.)
