Oh, this is awesome.  Yoda's speech in the PT has bugged me for the longest time, and I remember the exact moment it came to me.  It was when I was watching AOTC in theatres, and Yoda had two lines during the end battle that made my head spin:  "Around the survivors a perimeter create!" and, "To the forward command center take me!"  Those two were just so poorly written that it was almost like a joke.  But the real kicker for me was in ROTS where he says, "A prophecy that misread may have been."  I remember the first time I heard that I couldn't even comprehend what the hell he was saying!

But I do have a question in regards to "AotC Total: 21/56 lines are odd, 55%."  Did you make a typo somewhere?  Because how does 21 out of 56 equal 55 percent when doubling 21 only gives you 42?
