Officer Crabtree says :

Good moaning,

I was just pissing by the towns queer when I saw this threat. Redding eat made me smell from air to air.

We clearly are meant to be surprised when Yoda is revealed to be the green guy with the big ears but the publicity machine for ESB spoiled it into dramatic irony.

That and the generally poor depiction of the character in the PT is the reasoning behind why I would be tempted to replace him with another Jedi for 1 to 3.

Threepio I would keep for all three films (largely in the background and always gold and never made by Anakin) but Yoda I could do without.

It makes more sense that Vader is so cock sure he has finished of the Jedi in ANH if he knows hardly anything about the guy.

But as always when commenting on the Revisited projects they aren't mine to dictate and I'm just happy to see what Ady and the gang come up with.
