Saw ROTS with my kid (still hate it), but some random thoughts about prequel Yoda...
I hate how they shoehorn him into exile just to align with TESB. Instead of being on the Council, had they made Yoda strictly a teacher, academic and sage in the Jedi Temple, someone even the council goes to for advice, it may have been better IMO and more inline with the way he is portrayed in Empire.
It could have provided some interesting insight into Jedi training and the Temple, it would have kept his role as a wise master, but kept him outside combat roles and saved us from stupid ninja Yoda and would make far more sense for him to be more lost after the events and find himself hiding away on Dagobah.
Instead to make it work, we are forced to believe the leader of the Council and the Jedi loses one fight and decides to just give up and sneak away when there was still plenty to be done to seek out the few remaining Jedi etc.
- I'd say the worst aspect of the prequels is the way Lucas seems to choose what he sees as fan service over coherent plotting to link to the originals.Wolfboy
- Young yoda should have been tall - later on he's shrunk and wrinkled like an old master in a samurai movie.inteliboy
- Really we only saw him maybe a span of 20-40 years before Empire... in an 800 year life span. Which would only be a few years span extrapolated to humans.ETM
