Yoda Question
« on: September 2, 2005, 03:22 AM »
I don't know if anybody has noticed this before, but lately this has been bugging me. In episode 1 I know Yoda is digital here:



and I think here:



But, in this scene

 (in chapter 46 of the widescreen Ep1 dvd)

Yoda actually looks like he is being played by a person. He just seems funny walking down that ramp, as if there is an actor in a yoda suit. Anybody have any thoughts as to what it is? Actor or just the puppet?

Somewhere I read that in one shot, Yoda is played by Warwick Davis (Wicket the Ewok, Wald the Rodian, Willow from the Willow movie). I could never figure out which one they were referring to, so I'm guessing that's this.

Thanks for pointing that out, TeenJedi! Something to pay attention to on my next viewing. :)

I don't think it is a guy in a suit.  Warwick Davis is taller than Yoda.  I think he might be CGI because if you look a little later in that scene (when they change camera angles on the group coming down the ramp) Even Piel is walking where Yoda was.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

 the landing scene is really odd, most of the actors (like sam jackson) weren't on the set

i don't believe it would have been possible for warwick to play yoda, as it has already been stated is taller than yoda
