I admit Yoda not appearing is easier to do then the Vader reveal, especially given that I wouldn't want him fighting and even him acting as a general/commander/adviser in the war really seems off. 

Yoda being talked up as a great figure but remaining unseen does have some potential. Part of the issue is where he is the midst of this (on Coruscant, in the Jedi headquarters, somewhere else). If he's on Dagobah already, but even then one is left wondering why perhaps the wisest and most powerful Jedi was on a secluded planet in the midst of one of biggest wars in galactic history. I suppose one could split the difference and say that Yoda departed between films, and that he's gone by the latter two prequels. 

My idea for the Jedi are that have in some sense become too focused on ritual and tradition and have in some ways lost their connection to the living force and by extension to the Republic at large. Either scenario could reflect that with Yoda commentating on how the Jedi have changed or that Yoda left specifically to regain that connection with all living things.
