Which is why they, quite rightly, did this
CGI Yoda in The Phantom Menace. He looks like Yoda, if maybe a little younger than his appearance in the Original Trilogy.

Oh yeah original trilogy (and Last Jedi) puppet Yoda is the absolute tits, but beefy balding Yoda in the original TPM was embarrassing.
Yoda in the original cut of The Phantom Menace He is a puppet with wispy white hair, much more bulgy eyes than the original and an oddly sticky frame.

Is it Mr Thingy?
Far Side cartoon. Three men (one wearing an overcoat and hat) stand around a fourth man, who is tied to a chair. The man with a hat is holding an obscure device with what looks like a plunger, a clown horn and maybe some sort of fishing reel. Caption reads; "Well, we've tried every device and you still won't talk - every device, that is, except this little baby we call 'Mr Thingy.'"

For me it was an S. Just cracked while typing. But as it's a ThinkPad, you cannot kill it in any way that matters so I just glued it together and it was fine. I wonder what IT will say when they finally replace it this year (I've had this laptop since the first week of lockdown)
Close-up of the S key on my laptop, it's clumsily glued together where it snapped in half.

Magna Cinema, Wigston. Just down the road from me. First film I remember seeing there was Return of the Jedi. Unprepossessing from the outside, it had a rather lovely, somewhat shabby, Art Deco interior. Demolished now, the frontage replicated on the nursing home that replaced it.

The Magna Cinema, Long Street Wigston Magna. It's got a large fan window set in a blocky, cheap ersatz moderne frontage. There's a sort of shed thing next door and a long, low building on the other side (it became a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses after its life as Tubs, Taps and Tiles).

UK cryptid Mr Blobby on a pink and yellow background with short phrases pasted over him "Vote shaming doesn't work" "It just makes us hate you and your party" "politicians aren't owed our votes THEY EARN THEM" "maybe your party could be less shit?" "Blobby knows where you live" And there's another, lurking shadow Blobby I forgot to mention.

I have a soft spot for Rockwell purely because there was a book of his prints in the hotel we stayed in for our honeymoon and we looked at it together before lunch every day.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
A big pile of shredded Seville oranges, with a plate of juiced oranges ready for slicing. There's a knife resting on the chopping board and one corner of a Chemex coffee pot in one corner just for atmosphere.
