Rob Coleman and John Knoll prepared two tests featuring a CGI Yoda, using audio from L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980). Yoda's appearance in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) also served as the reference point for the creation of the CGI Yoda; George Lucas repeatedly stated to the animation department, that "the trick" to the animation of the CGI Yoda was to make him like the puppet from which he was based, in order to maintain a flow of continuity. Frank Oz was consulted; his main piece of advice was that Yoda should look extremely old, sore, and frigid. Coleman later explained the process of making the digital Yoda like the puppet version, by saying, "When Frank (Oz) would move the head, the ears would jiggle. If we hadn't put that in, it wouldn't look like Yoda."
