Man, right on. You can levitate an X-wing, and you can’t even pass a comb through your hair? Besides, what happened to his brain cells between ROTS and ESB? He was sniffing Luke’s flashlight and he was living in a slimy mudhole. quote=bubastis]4) He’s a coward. [/quote] Yoda: Wars not make one great. Damn straight. Just the kind of namby-pamby BS we’d expect from a sissy like him. ---

He was sniffing Luke’s flashlight and he was living in a slimy mudhole. I had wondered if he had gone senile after 20 years of living in that swamp, though it seems to be an act, because once luke knows it’s really yoda, Yoda stops the crazy old grandfather act. ---

> [@Skott](#): > > And not only that, I think a large amount of responsibility for the downfall of the Republic rests on directly Yoda’s head. I mean, obviously, Palpatine made the choice to become Sith and take over the Galaxy, and Anakin made the choice to join him; however, the former could have been averted and the latter never should have been available as an option: Yeahbut ( as my six-year-old would say ) I thought the whole thing was retconned out as being part of the **Prophesy** and the whole restoration of balnace to the force thing. ---

Yoda’s [Mad Skillz](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4888526365200963792) All that and a bag of chips! But yeah, his voice does annoy me after a while, and his status as one of the best seems to be an Informed Attribute i.e. the others tell us he is, but when we see him…not so much.
