I always thought of Yoda as something like Pai Mei from Kill Bill, albeit less psychotic.

But again this just delves further into the problems with how the Jedi are portrayed in the PT in general. I never saw the Jedi as being this tens of thousands strong army of robe wearing emotionless monks, that incidentally had a giant temple on corrusant dedicated to training young children on mass.

For me they were numbered in the hundreds, if that. They were much more like noble knights, roaming the galaxy in order to learn more of the force and through it wisdom, whilst helping those in need.

This would also actually give us some interesting differences between Jedi, giving us Jedi who tow the line between good and evil, yet at their hearts are still good, again giving us the potential for mass variation in Jedi, like Jedi who use blasters, wear armor, fight alone from the shadows, or fight in groups with other Jedi or soldiers, hell, we could even have Jedi who refuse or don't need to fight, instead relying on their power over others minds.

I also didn't see them having a 'council' or a 'grand master', or really much of a governing structure at all, as it all completely contradicts the OT in that there are plenty of people who don't believe in the force and have clearly not even heard of the Jedi.

They always seemed more mysterious and legendary than what we are shown in the PT, and thus the idea of thousands upon thousands of beings, who train endless young children from extremely early ages at a towering temple at the centre of the galaxy, who later lead armies of clones in a galaxy spanning war, seemed out of place for a group of people who are near enough completely forgotten or talked about 20 years after they are wiped from existence. Wiped from existence by the very clones they lead, in a clear coup de tat by a military dictatorship government.
