he must be refering to episode 2.

"the dark side i sense in you"

childrens films? well if the OT were childrens films they were certainly less patrionising to kids (save the ewoks).

or maybe they were... but the PT are for retarded 2 year olds.

[Despondent]

As well as for the masses who aren't mentally challenged, but attach themselves anyway.

[Tymaporer]

Awesome Yoda is! (I just had to do that...)

[darth_paul]

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda is the fifth (5th) song on the "Dare To Be Stupid" album and the first (1st) song on disc 2 of "Al-In-The-Box" . It is a parody of "Lola" by The Kinks with new lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

IMO, "Weird Al" Yankovic is a musical genius

(Leia: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope")
(Artoo: Beeps)

Her name was Leia, she was a princess,
with a danish on each ear, and Darth Vader (Vader: Breath sounds/Davis SFX) drawing near.
So Artoo Detoo, found Ben Kenobi. (Ben: "Obi-Wan")
He'd have to put the Death Star plans, into the Rebellion's hands.
So Luke and Obi-Wan, had to get to Alderaan,
so they stopped into Mos Eisley, to have a drink with Han...

chorus
At the Star Wars, [Star Wars!], Star Wars Cantina, [Star Wars Cantina]
The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a!
[Here, at the] Star Wars, [Star!], {Star Wars Cantina,
Music, and blasters, and old Jedi Masters, at the Star Wars!...}

(Greedo: "Oota-do-ta, Solo?")
His name was Solo (Han: "Han Solo"), he was a pilot (Millenium Falcon flying by)
With a blaster at his side (Solo's blaster firing), and a smile twelve parsecs wide,
there with Chewbacca (Chewie: "Roar"), he was a Wookiee.
They met with Luke and Obi-Wan, about the Millenium Falcon.
Docking Bay Ninety-four (Ben: "Ninety-four"), Stormtroopers at the door. (Three knocks on metal)
With a flash of Ben's lightsaber (Saber igniting and swooping), now there's an arm, (Surly man: "Aaaargh!") on the floor...

chorus
At the Star Wars, [Star Wars!], Star Wars Cantina, [Star Wars Cantina]
The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a!
[Here, at the] Star Wars, [Star!], {Star Wars Cantina,

(Ben: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.")

His name was Yoda, he was a muppet. (Yoda: "EewOHew!", like Grover/Davis SFX)
Darth Vader was so bad, and by the way he's Luke's dad.
Luke kissed his sister (Leia kissing Luke/Davis SFX); his hand got cut off. (Saber Zap, Luke: "Aaaaagh!")
In that galaxy far, far away, Luke has had a lousy day.
Boba Fett was so mean, Jabba had bad hygiene. (Davis/Jabba: "Ho! Ho! Ho!")
Why didn't they all just relax, back on Tatooine...

chorus
At the Star Wars, [Star Wars!], Star Wars Cantina, [Star Wars Cantina]

Livin' la Vida Yoda (maybe Weird Al Yankovic made that one too, who knows? I don't)

He's into austere living
wattle huts and Rootleaf stew,
The advice that he was giving
It seemed to offer me a clue.
I came, for a Master looking,
following Obi-Wan's advice
He tested me while he was cooking,
I'm afraid that I was not nice.

He will make you climb trees
and go running through the rain,
You'll do crazy handstands
while he watches with his cane
"Boy, you've got to train!" Come on!

"Lift rocks to the sky!",
He's livin' la Vida Yoda
On you he will spy
He's livin' la Vida Yoda.
He is three feet tall
the color of "Un" types of soda,
"Boy, there is no try!"
He's livin' la Vida Yoda.
Livin' la Vida Yoda.

I felt cold and death down below
In a cave, beneath a tree,
He said "in you must go";
I'd find what I took with me.
I stumbled upon Darth Vader
I swung hard, and struck my best.
But since I was the instigator
I knew I had failed the test.

As the smoke cleared finally
I peered down upon the face,
My own visage stared back --
Get me away from this place!
Might I, too, fall from grace? Come on!

His advice I'd defied
While livin' la Vida Yoda
"Beware the Dark Side!"
He's livin' la Vida Yoda
He is three feet tall
the color of "Un" types of soda,
Training's no piece of pie,
While livin' la Vida Yoda.
Livin' la Vida Yoda.

Saw Han, Leia, and Chewie
They were in pain, that much was clear
"It is the future you see"
At his words, I began to fear
"I must go," I said, "They've been caught"
But his words then stopped me cold.
"You'd destroy all for which they have fought"
I trusted him, so wise and old.

But I saw that vision
over and over again,
As I left he said "Mind what you've learned,
Save you it can!"
But right now I must free Han! Come on!

"Boy, you must not fly!"
He's livin' la Vida Yoda
But my friends will die!
While I'm livin' la Vida Yoda.
He is three feet tall
the color of "Un" types of soda,
You know there's no why
He's livin' la Vida Yoda.
Livin' la Vida Yoda,
Livin' la Vida Yoda.

this thread wasn't just hijacked, it was flown into a building...

[Bissrok]

"There is a group of fans for the films that doesn't like comic sidekicks. They want the films to be tough like Terminator, and they get very upset and opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike," said Lucas. "The movies are for children but they don't want to admit that....In the second film they didn't like Yoda."

What a lying bastard.

1) Everyone loves Yoda. Even if they say they don't.

2) It's not a kid's series if the "main character" butchers a bunch of innocent children.

3) We don't mind comic sidekicks, just so long as they're funny. Han and Threepio, for example, as opposed to... all of the characters in the PT.

[civilian_number_two]

I think what's most terrible about Lucas's quote there is that he doesn't even comment on the fact that just like his own films, THE TERMINATOR got successively worse with each reiteration. The last one was a nightmare. I personally think T3 might have been IMPROVED with the addition of Jar-Jar.

The worst thing about Lucas's quote there of course is how god damned condescending it is. Rather than simply say "I don't know why a lot of folks don't like Jar-Jar; I like Jar-Jar," he tries to speak for them. Can't think of anything more deliberately disrespectful than telling people why they feel how they feel, as opposed to actually asking them.

Good one, are you trying to show how cynical and unemotional you are? Too bad your not from New York City, asshole...Take your morbid humor back to the whole Goth movement that sucked so much....

[Casual Fan]

Yoda in the PT was actually as bad as Jar-Jar. Imagine if the PT movies had been made first, then the OT movies (they would be funded by an eccentric billionaire, so it wouldn't matter if nobody watched them). Assuming anyone still cared, after hearing that Yoda would be returning in the fifth movie you can imagine the groans from fans. After the movie came out, the reaction would be along the lines, "well this installment was pretty good for a change, except for that silly muppet Lucas keeps using."

The way it actually happened, the Dagobah scenes may be why ESB got the reputation it did. The rest of the movie is pretty disjointed.

[StarWarsIsUs]

Yoda was successful with adults, but never children. My daughter, when she was finally old enough to understand the movies, thought that Yoda was an old man's animated corpse. So I made Jar Jar for the kids. Worked out MUCH better than Yoda. - George Lucas

[georgelucas4greedo]

Further proof to my longtime conclusion that having kids rots your brain.

[CowboyCurtis]

George! Your kid is FUCKED UP!!!!! And you allowed these little cretins to name your characters and cast the role of Anakin!? God, what is wrong with him!?
