They may have tweaked it a little, but I think it's 99% Oz.

When Oz was under the stage to move Yoda,
was it like the Thunderbirds that he moved Yoda, I mean with chords and stuff?

No, Yoda is a hand puppet. His face (eyes,mouth) is moved mechanically by remote control and someone operates his arms.

I think that for TPM there were 2 or 3 people under the council chair controlling yoda with a mix of traditional puppetry, some mechanical puppetry and some computer controlled bits too.

Much more complex that ESB and ROTJ.

I think that Yoda looked a little too young in TPM. He looked about 500 instead of 864, but I guess he might have aged due to the stress of losing all his fellow Jedi.

Did you know that Frank Oz also did the voice for Miss Piggy?

Does that make Yoda a ga-y 'guy'?
But I can't figure how they do the arms, do the fingers move?

NOt very much, but at least one of the operators ion the clip I saw was a rather petite lady, presumably she would do the hands.

So is there going to be a yodapuppet around??
I think this is good: now he is cgi and young, in the OT he is a puppet and old; so the limited movement is good!

I think it depends on what is required. Obviously a puppet is much cheaper to do than a CGI.

But for the sequence where Yoda will do some fighting, as rumnoured, I think that most of that will have to be CGI.

I prefer a puppet. If he was a puppet in the OT then he should be one in the PT. It's the same with Jabba. He looks completly different as a CG.

I'm talking about close-up. CG for fighting and moving is good.

Thing with Jabba is that he has looked different in every movie.
