10 Best Fully CGI Characters In Sci-Fi Movies
3. Yoda - Attack Of The Clones/Revenge Of The Sith
Yoda is a character who has been through a few stages throughout his lifetime, and all have felt quite far removed from the others. His time in the Star Wars prequel series is particularly memorable thanks to the fact that, in the second and third film, he transitioned from a puppet to a fully computer generated character.
While there were pros and cons to this choice, it was the right decision if George Lucas wanted to show off what Yoda was capable of - as by making the switch to CG, we could actually see Yoda take part in a fight scene.
Watching the little Jedi master jumping around like a cartoon character with a sabre and fighting whoever he needed to was an incredible high point for the prequel trilogy. Also, the returning Frank Oz was there to make sure that the spirit of Yoda was still present in this new computer generated form.
Puppet Yoda is undoubtedly full of charm, but CG Yoda was a surprising badass, which gave us another reason to adore the wise figure.
