Poll: Yoda: Puppet or Pixels?
Yoda made his first appearance in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) as a wise yet somewhat "off his rocker" mentor, brought to life by the genius of Frank Oz and his puppeteer team. In the prequel trilogy Yoda left the old ways of past decades and entered the world of high quality cgi as a younger vigorous version of himself with more warrior-like characteristics. More recently in the 2011 Blu-ray version of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) George Lucas edited out the puppet Yoda and stuck in the cgi version to update it (yet another controversial move by this loved/hated man). Which do you prefer?
