***Spoilers*** Star Wars Episode VII

Qui Gon gin comes in as a close second, only good thing in Episode I.

Yoda is a curmudgeon. He's like the grumpy landlord of the Force.

Meanwhile, the Ewan Mcgregor version of Obi Wan is outacted by his own Lego character. Yoda is the boss.

Someone had a good point. In the prequel episodes, Yoda is still some 800 years old or so, but in the original trilogy, he's not that much older. Somehow, he goes from saber wielding tazmanian devil hurricane to crotchety old puppet. Apparently those last few years of his 900 year life span are the worst, but he can still zip through the air at 800. Which is impressive.

I'm certain these facts are off on the exact age and number of years from the prequels to the originals, but whoever found this out had a good point.

I would reckon that seeing a whole bunch of your closest friends get slaughtered in cold blood while the most promising recruit in ages becomes the most feared thing in the galaxy and then moving to a swamp for the next thirty years will take the fight out of you pretty quickly.

You know, you may have a point there. He tends to go almost into cardiac arrest when someone tied to the force kicks it. Maybe after that massive purge of the Jedi, he went from hero to zero and his body took the brunt of the damage. Perhaps his vitality and youth was tied to all the others who harnessed the light side, like a hive mind?

Yeah, that's a working theory. Or maybe George Lucas just threw out all the characterizations he built for Yoda in Empire Strikes Back (like "wars not make one great," and "size matters not") so that he could have a small green dwarf use a bite-sized lightsaber to fight Dracula.

Gotta' think of the toys, and the eventual Soul Calibur 4 tie-in.

I'm sure Disney will cover all that marketing in no time. Wait til Episode VIII where we meet Yoda's son and he hooks up with one of those squid haired girls. Knowing Disney, they'll make younger versions of Yoda's race as tall and strikingly handsome and they only get short and hairy when they're in the twilight years.

I hate when people sacrifice story for popularity or marketing appeal.

Andy, your meme's logic is flawed because Darth Maul was not a force virgin.
