There's a very different physicality to what's onscreen when practical effects have been used. The actors are reacting to something real. We know they're reacting to something real. And that affects how we view it. Sorry to keep coming back to killer sharks, but I remember one of the actors from Jaws 2 speaking about being nervous at times working with the shark model, not because it was a scary frightening shark, but because it was a machine weighing several tonnes moving towards him at speed with no guarantee that it would be able to move in the way the effects team hoped it would. Plus they were on the ocean with all its tides and currents and depths. And the thought of real sharks was at the forefront of their mind. And it all affected what they put into the performance. Ooh. Yes! If those walls could talk I'm sure they've seen the gamut of emotions. Love and laughter. Tears and sadness... I honestly never thought I'd say this, but he's a favourite of mine as well. I may attempt to rank my favourite characters of the first trilogy soon, and Yoda will definitely be on that list.</blockquote>
