True. Episode III can be a two hour long piece of Anakin saying "Wohoo!", and I wouldn't care. I forgive him for all his Episode I-III faults, purely for THAT monent.
Yoda.
Brushing aside his cloak.
Pulling his sabre into his hand.
Lighting it.
Fighting pose.
Orgasm now.

Found something interesting about the Sith/Jedi struggle, when browsing through the Ep.II DVD to find other goodies. After Obi-Wan talked with Jango Fett and reported back to the council, Yoda reveals something.
Windu: "I think it is time we informed the senate that our ability to use the force is diminished." Yoda: "Only the Dark Lord of the Sith knows of our weakness; if informed the senate is, multiply, our adversaries will".
Do you think he implied the Dark Lord knows about the weakness he himself instilled in them (diminished awareness and prescience), or some general weakness the Jedi have had a long time against powerful Siths? That he can go to certain depths and pervert the Force to his will and benefit from it in a way the Jedi can't allow themselves to do?

Dark Force users have always had that advantage over their goodie two-shoe brethern, but this time the Jedi have grown complacent and arrogant... they haven't faced the Sith in four millennia, they're no longer as perceptive to their surroundings, and Windu knows it.
Of course, Palpatine may simply be an exceptionally strong Sith with a few new tricks up his sleeve... either way, the JO is finished, it's too rigid and too proud to admit its own weakness, which will be the Jedi's undoing.

Yoda - even as a CGI creation was relatively motionless - and when he did move he was in his little Rygel chair - floating along.
Make him move realistically - fight etc. would have looked very fake if he was moving at normal human speed. We've only ever seen him move (in CGI) very slowly or sped up like a Benny-Hill chase scene! *cue yakkity sax*

You said that before, and it still makes no sense. The previous 90 minutes were full of long, lingering shots of Yoda (sexy beast that he is). Why would they suddenly try to hide the CGI?
Well there is the fact that in one of the DVD documentaries, George (or one of his SFX minions) says that they had to speed Yoda up so that the CGI flaws wouldn't be as apparent.

Maybe not in the double-flips, but in most of the fight he moves normally, as a human fighter would. I just rechecked the scene several times yesterday, it looks more hasty the first time you watch it in the cinema.
If you rewatch and dissect it you see that during the majority of the fight he relies on solid ground footwork. Dooku is actually the one doing most of the saberwork, he's forced to wave that thing all over the place in order to keep up a viable guard against Yoda.

Yoda was walking along in the first scene in Palpatine's Office. And he squinted! Ooooh!
