I did blog about this before. I picked the puppet over the CG. But now I prefer the CG.

I gotta say yoda puppet.

Puppet for me.

Bye, erm, peeps.

Both! Just not the scary EP1 puppet that looks like Larry King.

I can take either. Yoda as a CG was cool to watch as he went against his enemies. Puppet Yoda showed a lot of wisdom.

I like the CG Yoda. More detailed and realistic.

I agree with nobO1 that the Ep. 1 yoda was kinda freaky. I'm going with CG yoda.

As long it is not the EP.1 puppet that is totally blazed out on ganja, I don't care.

And personally, Yoda should be portrayed through stop-motion paper-mache in all six movies.

I like him the best in ESB, so I guess that would be the puppet!!

As long it is not the EP.1 puppet that is totally blazed out on ganja, I don't care.

No kidding!!

It depends, the completist in me wants to see Lucas go back to the original films and re-do the FX 2006 style, so they mesh with the prequels better. Doing that would mean a CGI Yoda. But, saying that, there's noting he does in the originals that the puppet couldn't do (due to the limitations of using...a puppet!), so it's a hard call.
I would say yes, change Yoda to CGI in ESB and Jedi, but do it with great care. Of all the changes that could be made (i.e giving Jabba cat-like eyes in the Special Editions - what were they thinking?), this would by far cause the biggest uproar.
Well, maybe apart from McDiarmid re-doing his Emperor scenes...

For me, the ROTS-era CG was superior to every other version. But the ESB puppet was right below that.

Rob Coleman has gone on the record many times saying that they will never, ever replace the puppet work in ESB (and, presumably, ROTJ). But I suppose it's a done deal that he'll be CG in the next version of TPM.

Well both have there advantages. It would depend on what you are trying to get out of it.

Stooge me old buddy makes a good point, the TPM Yoda is digitized in all future releases, probably because they made such a lousy job with the puppet.
Thing is, for what he does in the OT he might as well be a puppet, because he isn't leaping around, walking much or doing anything other than dispense wisdom. But I would be fine with them re-doing him in CG for completists sake.

Love the puppet. Like the smuggler said, Yoda doesn't do much in the OT that requires anything more than a stationery puppet. He's just fine the way he is. CG in the PT looks weird at times, but probably because I'm so stuck on that cuddly puppet from ESB.

I would hope that he wouldn't get changed to CG in the OT - that would be like adding "auto-tune" to John Lennon's voice in "Twist & Shout"
