I don't know, an arm-span is meant to be approximately equal to height. If you take a measurement of the mold shown in this clip, and rotate it, it comes to about 2 feet longer than the puppet. Maybe they wanted the arms bent a little and never actually did it in the final composite? Since I first saw this film I always thought the arms were too damn long!

CGI looks like shit when used very much at all. Whenever I can tell a scene is almost entirely done on computer it instantly kills all of the entertainment value for me. When the T-1000 walks through the fire as liquid metal in Terminator 2 it is absolutely amazing. Why? Because the semi-truck was real, it really crashed with the roof cut off and was aflame with real fire in a real water canal in southern California. Close to 98% of the area of the screen is done with 100% real elements put there by people out in the real world doing real hard work. Doesn't matter how simple it may seem. Doesn't matter if the CGI "looks bad by today's standards" or whatever other bullshit excuse is used. When I see a fighting sequence in an Avengers movie and know for a fact that 98% of the stuff on screen was done by somebody sitting in front of a computer on a desk in a comfortable office area, not moving any lights or props, not setting off any real sparks or fire, and not doing any sort of work that is physically or mechanically difficult in any way, then it always looks like shit. The truth is very simple yet very hard to accept. It honestly doesn't matter what it looks like. Movies are judged by the audience solely on how much work seems to have been put into it. How difficult were the emotions expressed by the actors and how well were the conveyed through body and facial expressions? How much time did it take to build the sets or scout the locations? Were any of the shots hard to frame or light properly? Did the stunt actors do anything truly risky and daring? Were the conditions or costumes on set hot, uncomfortable, or grueling for any of the cast or crew?

Phil Tippett is LEGENDARY. 👍😎 It was Phil Tippett, ILM and Lucasfilm, who changed the industry entirely, once again while pushing the technology in order to realize another film in the Star Wars franchise. The man who changed the way movies were made, from the old stop-motion days of King Kong and 2001; A Space Odyssey to the matte paintings and "go-motion" techniques for his first trilogy of Star Wars films once again drove the technology forward into the future from the go-motion of Robocop and Terminator to make the prequels, clearing the way for James Cameron and Stephen Spielberg to be able to make T-2 Judgment Day and Jurassic Park, George Lucas was ALWAYS at the forefront of the industry, years ahead of his time. Most people malign the computer generated effects George used for the prequels because they fail to realize those were the FIRST appearances of such techniques put to screen. And those same people are usually surprised to see how much in-camera miniatures and practical effects were actually used. (Don't take MY word for it, though. Watch ANY documentary about ILM or the motion picture special effects technology. There are quite a few to choose from out there, right here on KZfaq.) 👍😊

I love and respect the artists of the time, who had a much more challenging way to do these effects without the help of computers.

Whereas CGI now, though it's not easy work either - there's not that comparison to the actors and sets. And I think it shows in acting and interacting with the virtual. To have that big ED-209 in the board room got more realistic fear out of everyone than gasping at some empty space or a spindly tripod in place where a big mammoth machine will be inserted later.
