Remember that funny lookin creature that resembled Yoda in Episode 1, but actually looked like Yoda put through a blender? Well Lucas is finally going to do something about it....Check the "before & after" shots out at the link below:

Can this be confirmed anywhere else other than some website I've never heard of, and that actually provides some damn context or source?
MF.com seems silent on the topic, although as a non-member I can't access the DVD forum.

Wait, wait, wait: I think I've found its context. From a post on MF.com, concerning material for the RotS DVD:
Confirmed DVD Deleted Scene: "A Plot To Destroy the Jedi?"
Yoda, Mace and Obi-Wan scene in the Temple. "This scene contains some of the first Yoda animation to be completed for Episode III. Obi-Wan and Yoda discuss the strange shift in the Force as the galaxy continues to be consumed by darkness. It was cut from the film in March of 2004."
The Episode III DVD contains a snippet of test animation that replaced the Episode I Yoda puppet with the Episode III digital model.
Looks nice too.
So it was just part of semi-test footage for RotS, not for a future release of TPM. Nice that Fi-Sci.net didn't do any fucking research or just plain made up shit, or actually credit ZonaDVD for the original pictures. It takes a swell level of class for that kind of shit.

The source was a Spanish DVD site who was sent two test shots from ILM . Hence the reason there is no text.
Fi-Sci.net is a fairly new website and is growing in popularity very fast.

You know what? They could at least of had the professional courtesy of saying all of that themselves in their "news" post. But no, they just post the swiped images with ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION...
Yeah, whatever, that's nice. Now get to the part where I swat your little web baby on the ass.

Site unavailable.
So do you work for this piece of shit or something? Looking at your post history, I'm getting a vibe...

Damn that server....It's been playing up all night. First time for everything I guess.
I am the News Editor on site. The admin posted that bit of news, hence the lack of info.
Apologies. Should have looked at the info first.
Site is back....but for how long?

So in other words, you've been using this board to pimp out your website.
Shining.
EDIT: And you just copy-pasted the shit I just posted. Shining x2.

Not my website. Im just the News Editor. It's called Word of Mouth. Being Star Wars fans on a Star Wars board I thought this might be a good place to let people know.
If I was pimping the site, I would tell you there's a lot more than just Star Wars to look at. And SD.N is not the only board I chat on.....and your the first person I have come across that has a problem....

It's still pimping. You work for it. therefor you're using the board to pimp out your website and score hits.
The OP was your third post on this board, with the first two being other posts about news for your little crappy "news" site. That's three for three site pimping, and literally your whole posting history ignoring the five other posts in this thread.

I'm not going to bother anymore. The line "Thanks to ZonaDVD & Spanky The Dolphin for the tip" means I can copy and paste whatever the hell I want, as long as I publish who originally wrote the peice.
Be greatful that over 30,000 people will read that "Spanky the Dolphin" knows his shit.

Yeah, I know my shit, unlike you who didn't originally post any context because you were either too lazy to simply look shit up or didn't know any better to do so...

Why not just be happy that you now know this bit of news? If I didn't post this, you wouldn't have gone over to MF.com and checked it out and in turn, would know nothing about this.

I check MF.com every 1-2 days anyway, so I would have found out about it anyway, just probably a couple of hours later, AND I would have gotten the information right the first time...
It's barely even news, anyway. Just a confirmation of the content of one of the deleted scenes on the RotS DVD.

Are you dense? I told you that the site Administator posted the news. Until you said something I trusted there was more info than there actually was..... So thanks to you, I have adjusted the article. Leave it at that and THANK YOU again!

Bah, Lucas ruining things again. 'Stoned Yoda' was the best part of Episode I!

Actully, I believe Rob Coleman (or some other ILMer) said ages ago they replaced all the Yoda-scenes in TPM with the ROTS-model as a test. So it'll probably be included on future releases.
And go easy on the guy, Spanky. If I can get away with pimping SW Wiki once in a while, surely he can pimp his site once? At least he gave us something.

um...ok. this is almost as bad as that Redshirt and Spanky going at it..... for future or syndicated Spanky vs. the World look at Stardestroyer.net Sundays through Saturdays 12am to 11pm
pimping out SD.net for all you redshirts
anyways. before i looked at those pictures, ive forgotten how Yoda looks diffrent. It must have never botherd me that much that i didnt notice without comparing them. lol stoned yoda. Still the CGI Yoda still looks funny, his head is to much like a circle. What they have to do to get it right is make a mix of Stoned Yoda (EP I) to CGI Yoda (EP II III) and WAALLA you have Yoda (EP V VI)
