Despite claims to the contrary, the original versions of the movie did exist in one small way since the 1997 Special Editions were created.As part of the restoration of the original negatives w... more. - Simon Pegg is Dengar in The Clone Wars – Tonight! 0 CommentsPosted by Jeremy Conrad on March 2, 2012 under News, Star Wars

A funny aside to this is that on the special features for the Star Wars Episode II DVD release is a featurette about the CG Yoda where George Lucas reveals that Yoda is really the son of Kermit and Ms. Piggy.
