But even if you view them as a complete saga, and this is something that that marioxb, or whatever his name is, brought up, wouldn't you want the "surprise" of if he is around preserved? And if you have a movie where he doesn't appear, doesn't that make you wonder more, "What happened to Yoda? Is he okay?" Plus, like I've said before, he has no role in the original Star Wars. What would you have him do? Have Luke, etc. wandering around the Death Star, and then cut to a little musical number with Yoda on Dagobah, singing, "Stayin' Alive" just so you know that he's... alive?
