This is where this conversation ends. I want to see it finished. NOW.

It is extremely off topic, and I've had enough of it. I don't want to have to read through ****ing massive paragraphs about some actor called "Hayden" just to get to posts about CGI vs Puppets/props.
Fair Enough.

Anyways I think theres always going to be instances where puppets or CGI could be better.

For example, in the Empire Strikes Back, Yoda was perfect as a puppet, the technology was less advanced, and Yoda wasnt needed for any major action, or lots of movement. In episode 2 I think ILM did a pretty good job with capturing the essense of yoda in CGI, while still making it feel similar to the puppet from ESB.
