Agreed, which is why I like the idea that it's an exaggerated version of the actual events. One I heard was that it's basically just how a child imagined the things he was hearing about had happened.

That makes a lot of sense. Especially when you consider that it was aired on Cartoon Network...

Is it possible that by TPM, Lucas made the greatest fluke possible for future Star-Wars films? The Jedi explicitly says the Sith had been missing for a thousand years. Yoda is roughly 850 at the time. What if they had said 700 years or 500? What a great opportunity to make movies from that era where Yoda is the protagonist - hell, he could even be the one who defeated the "last" of the Sith. It would explain why he is the only one able to block sith lightning with his hands...

That was a fluke, but I think the reason he did it was that he specifically didn't want Yoda to be the one who destroyed the last Sith.
