Thanks, 2/4, "Fladerization" is the term I was trying to think of.twooffour said:

Very, very odd results - I had expected the prequels to be somewhere up in the 90% region, and the OT somewhere 20-30% .
I'll pay attention whenever I'm gonna watch it again...
I figured those kind of numbers too, which is why I did this. At first I was doing it by blocks of dialog, but Yoda has a few speeches where only one sentence is odd, so I broke it down sentence by sentence. That also messed things up, because he has a few three word sentences that aren't backwards on their own, but might be questionable in context.
It seemed like in the OT, when Yoda wanted to be serious, he spoke correctly. But in the PT, these few year old clones have to translate what he's commanding them to do in the heat of battle. Dumb.Gaffer Tape said:
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!
Sorry, typo, 31/56Gaffer Tape said:
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?
