Just a little something I did a while back when Yoda's jumping was all people could talk about. I'm posting it now because there's nothing else for me to do right now.

Have a good weekend. :)

Great - love the editing. But Yoda manages to kill off the OT.

Kill off the OT? I don't know what you meant in your wording but felt Yoda was just so much more than a powerful jedi in the OT. The PT should have better represented Yoda's wiseness. ESB was Yoda's shining moment. Yoda just feels watered down in the PT. When I watch any of the prequels I don't see Yoda at all. Sure he sounds and looks similar but he doesn't act the way he originally did. He just feels emotionless. As do all the jedi in the PT.

 

To be fair, I think that's what GL was going for. I think that, as much as he was trying to show the journey of Anakin Skywalker, he was also trying to show that the creation of Darth Vader was far more the greatest failure of the Jedi than the greatest triumph of the Sith. Really the only thing that Qui-Gonn does for the PT is represent the same "why can't we be real people?"/The Living Force argument that Anakin does, but with a lot more dignity and credibility. (Other than that, I don't see why we even needed Episode I.)
