CGI Yoda for ESB? Will GL do it?

Sometime soon, as I have foreseen, the puppet Yoda from Jim Henson in ESB, will be replaced by the flaky, fake-looking PT Yoda from CGI.

I vote he will too. I'm actually kind of surprised that it didn't happen already. I think the better question is, what will CGI Yoda be doing? I would guess that part of the point of putting a CGI Yoda into the PT would be to have him doing crazy anime flips and things like that - for continuity purposes I mean...

[sarcasm] This is going to be plain awesome to see the CGI Yoda training Luke! It will be so physical and action-oriented! [/sarcasm]

Where the hell does Lucas get this stuff? Why would Yoda be jumping in the first place? Nevermind technological limitations; Yoda doesn't "jump" around when he's walking in any of the PT; so why would he be doing this in the OT?
Hooray for continuity...

I guess we still can't say for sure, but, this seems like a pretty good indicator.

Lol - I agree, it is crap. However, the context that Lucas was talking about was when Luke was running with Yoda in the backpack - it sound as though he wanted Yoda, in lieu of being hauled on his back, to instead be leaping over stones and flipping over vines.

But I wouldn't put it past Lucas. Basically at this point, he's capable of anything, no matter how lame, so I would say yes, he will. If not this time, then someday. You know he's just planning it.
It's like he's testing to see how much he can annoy his fans and still get their money.

If any of you believe this, I have some lovely beachfront property available, CHEAP in the Phoenix, AZ suburbs.
I voted "yes" because I would not put it past the crazy, money grubbing bastard to do such a thing, especially given the "special" editions.
Is it just me, or does "special edition" sound an awful lot like "special education"?

Well, that's an interesting statement, given the source. It wouldn't be such a big deal, except that it seems like we might never get the Original Trilogy on our terms (or even something close to it).
I know a lot of people have the attitude that they're Lucas' films, and he can do whatever he wants with them; but, honestly, this type of revisionist behavior scares me. It's not just making a few superficial changes. Star Wars, the 1977 film that won 6 Academy Awards, doesn't exist anymore. History has literally been erased. I know that's a bit of an overstatement. But, I hope people see my point. We can't just change the past because we don't like what's there. The original movie deserves to stand based on its own merits. That movie - the original that was released in 1977 and the sequels that followed - were part of our collective past; and one person took our memories and our emotions and altered them because he didn't like them. Lucas changed history. And that shouldn't be okay. Some things should be off limits. If we lose the past then we don't know who we are.

Or, you know...maybe Luke just took flying lessons? You know, like the last time you lost this argument...
