I'm currently writing a script called "Yoda Hard"
"Motherfucker, Yipee-Ki-Yay!"

@LYT @arivalscientist Well as long as it's not a story of how Yoda wants to try out as a Jedi but doesn't have enough for the ship fair so Yoda and his friends do what they can to get him to Coruscant.

@arivalscientist @LYT I hear he already signed for XXX-Men: Days of Pubic Blasts, or something like that...

I doubt that the actual movie would be this good. The Rebel Force Radio podcast recently made a good point about the pre-Empire Yoda being well intentioned but ultimately basing all his actions off of wrong ideas about the force, and it took the destruction of the Jedi to clue him in to how much the Jedi had gotten off track with midiclorians, reliance on technology and such. So any pre-Empire movie about Yoda would be about when he was wrong about everything and therefore would ultimately add nothing to the overall universe. Oh it could be entertaining, but it wouldn't be able to tell us anything about the Wars universe.
Weirdly it does seem that Weird Al was right in the song Yoda when he said Mark Hamill would be playing the part 'til the end of time.

@Gallen_Dugall Was he wrong about everything? He was the one who said Anakin should not be trained, and was overruled by the council. That seems like a biggie. Also he and Qui-Gon together figured out how to become Force ghosts.

@LYT @Gallen_Dugall i think you mean qgj figured how to ghost, and soda - and the council- were all clueless, though yoda was right about Annie.
@Kozmik_Pariah I'm not sure now that I'm sober and I'm not going back through to figure it out either

@LYT @Gallen_Dugall well, it wasn't my theory so I'm not relating it very coherently and the 22oz isn't helping, but basically yes. The problem with training Anakin was mainly that they didn't know how since he already had experiences shaping him and their training methods made a whole lot of assumptions about having a blank slate to work with - unlearning would eventually form part of Luke's training, of which we see only a select sliver pertinent to the story, for example you never see Luke get the training to interact with force ghosts that Yoda mentions to Obi-wan after the fall of the temple.
Mind you as much as I enjoy all of those movies they don't make a whole lot of sense, but fan rationalization is a fun intellectual exercise. Looking at it this way explains a lot of stuff. Not much can explain the stupidity of the villains in those films. That Darth Palgueis book was great until it got to the stuff from the films, talk about convoluted rationalization.

@skrag2112 @DrAbraxas Now when I see this stuff I can't avoid remembering the episode of Justified where Ellen May freaked out and emptied a revolver into her fury client, then I feel better. Then I giggle a little.
