Very much loving the vibe so far in that little video. Not just that it's got a puppet character/practical effects, and looks like a genuine environment, but the humor feels natural as well.

karamazov i am so excited hold me gently!!!!!!!!!!! Real mother flipping muppets

Well, I say muppets died in 1990, but it's a pretty close proximity! Could be something from the Dark Crystal or Labyrinth.

Idk, this looks like the Phantom Menace set visit before that big storm that destroyed their set.

The craft definitely seems to be returning.

That was cool to see. There's one of Hasbro's first releases from the new film right there.

Glad to see the muppet is being met with positivity from "the elite". I was worried.

I agree. I was starting to think the old guard didn't like anything except Matlock and Depends.

well, that, and telling the kids to get off their lawn.

I only wear depends on long World of Warcraft raids, and yes I am ELITE. I love muppets over CGI any day.

Why would the elite be annoyed about a non-CG alien?

Seems like over the years I have read a lot of posts about muppets in the OT (outside of Yoda and Jabba) were among Lucas' many faux pas. Often lumping them in with Ewoks.

Yeah, I'm also confused.

Are they cool or not cool, c'mon people lets make a decision here.

I swear I've seen a lot more complaining about overuse of CG, and the only people slagging off puppets are the guys who work with CG and are defending it.

Oh yeah. Definitely.

I like the muppet myself. I like Ewoks too.

I would love to have an Ewok son.

Not enough lens flare from Heisenberg's teeth. No Ewok son for you.
