If one looks at the YODA puppet in The Empire Strikes back, of course, moves like a puppet, but the motion is real. Jerky, emotional, human-like.
One move to The Clone Wars and the CGI moves are mechanic. Maybe the way to go about animation is not on the eye of the beholder but on careful comparison of analog vs digital renderings: Film a human running on analog and pair it pixel by pixel with the digital cgi counterpart.
