Yoda a Flasher?

Yes, I saw it too.
Having heard much in advance of seeing the movie, one blogger spent 3135 words on everything including the inconsistencies in the mythology before he saw it and another 3501 to explain what was good and what was not afterwards. Some sort of a Star Wars geek I guess. Anyway he does a nice job you ought to read it. I'll bet that over 6000 words is some sort of a record at least it stands until someone can show me something more. I heard the dialogue was bad, it was terrible nobody talks like that. Anikan and Palpatine obviously don't like one another their words were clichéd, their kisses wooden. What I was really looking forward to was the lovable Yoda and his debut with the light sabre. The highlight of the movie I'd been told. First wasn't this episode earlier in time than the original Star Wars. Then why the hell does the little guy look older and more decrepit than in the first one, or is my memory the only thing getting older. He arrives at the scene of the final battle with the evil Count Dooku sporting a cane, waddling like he's on his last legs. So imagine my surprise (no I knew it coming) imagine my incredulity when the little fart whips out his light sabre like some flasher revealing it for all to see. He flies around the room like the energizer bunny on steroids. He fends off attack after attack from the evil Count Dooku while Obi-Wan and Anikan lie crumpled in the corner like so much doggie doo. And when the Count tries to drop a column on their sorry Asses. Yoda, with an effort that resembles someone with a severe case of constipation manages to foil the effort while the evil one makes his getaway. I felt a deep sympathy for Yoda with his George Bush ears holding the weight of the universe on his shoulders. I won't get into the rest of the movie too many others have already done that, and I'm trying to keep this under 10000 words. But when all is said and done go see it This movie kicks butt. The only question, whose.
