This has been bugging me more and more. Partly because Yoda (at least OT Yoda) is one of my favorite characters in the series and partly because of what you said- by Lucas framing the story like this he makes a delusional joke of the whole Jedi order. Obi-Wan can very slightly be excused (stupid youth and all that) but that lessens the wisdom of *his* character.
I haven't read the whole graphic novel yet and probably won't listen to the audiobook until after the film comes out, but I pray (but don't expect) that the scene won't make the final cut. As well I hope for the continuation of the elimination of any reference to Jedi STDS or whatever the hell George was thinking with the mitichlorians (sp? who cares!). Perhaps THAT is what should have wiped out the Jedi... Anakin could have slept his way through all the Jedi like a good party boy and the Palpatine would have been the one running the only Coruscant free clinic.
BTW, that's how I had hoped Capt. Kirk would have kicked off- green alien chick STD...
