Who is CPY?

I think the idea was that Yoda and the Emperor were so powerful in the force that they were beyond the need of something like a lightsaber. Yoda told Luke “your weapons, you will not need them” when he entered the cave. And the Emperor mocked Luke’s weapon like it was some kind of toy in the throne room scene on Death Star 2.

Plus there was just the whole idea of Yoda being a wise and revered spiritual leader. It’s never a good idea to see someone whose face was partially designed from the wrinkles of Einstein to be seen spinning around and jumping off walls and twirling glowsticks around.

For me anyway, I had been a lifelong Star Wars fan for 20 years, but that was the point I stopped watching the movie and said to myself “this isn’t Star Wars anymore”.
