Very interesting thoughts, Obi Jeewhyen! I also regret that the lightsaber fights and object throwing took the place of subtlety, concentration and martial arts.

As others have said, one of the big mistakes of the PT was deciding that Yoda would use a lightsaber at all. It would have demonstrated a far greater level of control and knowledge of the force, befitting his character, if he had bested the likes of Dooku with but a few well timed hand gestures. For me, I'd prefer it if Yoda had never fought anyone. The character I fell in love with in ESB and ROTJ had rejected anger, fear and aggression centuries before and found the idea of war faintly ridiculous...
