10 Times Movies Should've Used CGI

The only example on this list where the filmmaker was bothered enough - and had sufficient creative power - to go back and fix it is that god-awful Yoda (Frank Oz) puppet from The Phantom Menace.

While George Lucas receives plenty of well-earned criticism for excessively relying on emergent digital filmmaking tech for the Star Wars prequels, the original theatrical release of The Phantom Menace indeed realised Yoda with a rather ropey-looking puppet.

As charming as the original Yoda puppet was, the one created for the prequels looked rough, and further stuck out due to the incredibly digital world it was presented within.

For the film's 2011 Blu-ray release, however, Lucas replaced the puppet with a digital double which looks so much better, and ensures Yoda's appearance is consistent across the prequel trilogy. For all of the many overzealous changes Lucas has made to Star Wars over the years, he was absolutely right to do it in this case.
