Simple: To make all of the Yoda voices uniform.

On that I point, I really disagree. Too many changes have been done in the OT...
Boba's voice has been changed. In a hand, it doesn't bother me too much, cause it's good for the continuity, and that character had not many dialogues in it. On the other hand, it bothers me cause I really loved the original voice.
But concerning Yoda, this character and his OT lines are really too important to be changed. It would be unecessary, even for the continuity. Between ROTS and ESB, Yoda has been exiled for a pretty long period, he's becoming very old and is at the end of his life. So, his voice has changed with age (as said previously) and he's not any more the great jedi warrior he has been.

And we could imagine that he's not using a lot of "reversed" phrase to not troubling Luke too much. Maybe he makes a lot of effort to talk "normally" to Luke, for a good comprehension. After all, in the PT era, he's a famous character, he's very important in the council, and everybody knows his way of speaking.
So, it's just a "SW Universe" explanation... In real, it's sure that the dialogues are really not as good as the OT ones, that's all...
