	hawk said: What is even more disturbing is Lucas' statement that the dark side is stronger. This is, perhaps, a statement made by a man who does not give his own work enough thought.

	Having Yoda reside on Dagobah throughout the PT doesn't work because: A) Just about everything Yoda told Luke seemed to be from firsthand experience. Knowing his father, warning of the Emperor, knew about Leia, wars not make one great yada yada.... Anyone watching the OT, child or adult, could plainly tell Yoda had seem some action in his 800 years. He's role would be reduced to a glorified "Oracle". //shudders. B) See A) -----signature----- I memorize the words to the porno movies - this is a new religion to me.

	SI, haven't you figured out yet that this board is littered with people who are better storytellers of the Star Wars saga than its creator? Yoda living on Coruscant is very right for reasons that have already been stated, yet ignored, throughout this thread. -----signature----- How I rank the Star Wars movies: 1. ANH; 1. ESB; 1. ROTJ; 1.

	There isn't necessarily a need for Yoda to witness absolutely everything "first-hand". Remember, Yoda did not witness Luke Skywalker's childhood, yet "a long time have I watched this one...". -----signature----- Let down by the Special Editions. Tormented by the Prequel Trilogy.

	Yeah, and Yoda was able to make the same character calls on Luke, about his looking off into the future and into the horizon, trusting what he witnessed through the Force enough to make a judgement on Luke and declare him reckless. So Yoda didn't need to be right in the heart of the action to witness it, it could still have affected him emotionally. He wasn't on Tatooine when the Tuskens were killed, but he felt what happened and knew it was disasterous.

	SI: I have to agree these guys really are good to laugh at. And I totally agree with you on this issue. Yoda on Dagobah = doesn't work. Its a better transition of his character to have lived on a planet such as Coruscant being apart of a flawed Order. He like his contemporaries were too isolated in their ivory tower. When the Empire rises, he hides on a planet which is teeming with life, and isn't so isolated from the life that is around him. If you thought Yoda was always on Dagobah you were kidding yourself. -----signature----- In Keano we trust. ITFC through and through.

	I think it makes perfect sense for one of the leaders of the Jedi Knights to live on Coruscant. Even if you go with the life theory.

	You misunderstand the point, the lot of you. It's not about wether it's possible for Yoda to live on Coruscant or not. It's about keeping his CHARACTERIZATION intact, and expand it in a NATURAL way instead of disrupting and creating a character arc which doesn't work. It's about keeping YODA as the mysterious, wise sage of the Jedi, and not this terrible incarnation of the prequels. -----signature----- Let down by the Special Editions.
