I agree with you, it's hard to compare the crap logic Yoda spils out in the PT vs the better, cooler logic in the OT. I think he was nuts after being "technically" alone after all that time.

I know I am trying to apply real world logic to him going ape-shit crazy after 20 years on Dagobah but like it ot not I think GL was genuinely trying to apply our world to the PT. I don't hate the PT (other than AOTC) but I hated TPM the first few times I saw it mostly because of that 2 headed sports announcer f*@cker at the pod race.

It was like GL was trying to bring our world into the SW and I hated him for it. But I realize now that maybe he is comparing our world to the PT (like with OT Yoda and PT Yoda) and I can accept the PT much more now that I look at it in that way.
