Put Captain Solo in the Cargo Hold said:

I always took it for granted actually. The only line that sticks out for is "Not if anything to say about it, I have!", which sounds too forced.

I actually found that one quite bad-ass, in a cheesy kind of way...

the one with the "perimeter" had no charm at all.

I think what most annoys me about Prequel Yoda (aside from the dumb looking puppet in TPM... the puppet is 50 times worse than the CGI version btw) is the quirky voice they did to make him appear more "youthful".

Delivery is the key, the ultimate linchpin - when the voice already sounds goofy, anything weird about the dialog will hopelessly stand out.

Somehow, though, apart from the II fight scene, CGI Yoda retains his core "dignity", so I can't say I consider him a minus for these movies.
