TomH1138 said:Another example: Why does Yoda run away from his fight from Palpatine even though he's holding his ground? The answer is simply because at the beginning of the movie, Yoda has to be in hiding and Palpatine has to be in charge. When watching the OT, I never asked myself, "Why didn't Yoda take down Palpatine himself?"

TM2YC said:Was Yoda in hiding on Dagobah? (His home that was).
TV's Frink said:He does, but unless you are reading some of the nonsense on ot.com, you don't understand why.
TomH1138 said:Was that his birth planet home, or was that the planet he moved to and called home?

Yoda was born on a remote planet that has never been named...

TM2YC said:Yes that's my point, we didn't know Yoda's backstory until Lucas laid it out in the prequels... in a way that contradicted the OT for no good reason.
TM2YC said:Yoda shouldn't have even been in the prequels IMO. For one reason, it ruins the reveal in ESB and for another, Ben should have already been a 40-year-old, fully-trained and overly-confident Jedi who didn't think he needed Yoda's help to train Anakin. Because that's what it says happened in the OT.
TM2YC said:Fanedit wise, you just have to treat the prequels as a separate (But sorta similar) continuity. The two trilogies cannot be tallied up, that way madness lies. e.g. Padme needs to die at the end of ROTS, because the two weirdo space-monks wouldn't be able to abduct her son otherwise.
I still struggle to conceive of a credible reason to explain how Luke and Leia could be separated at birth, while their mother was still living? Maybe if there had been a prophecy specifically stating "The son of Skywalker would destroy the Sith" and Anakin was only aware that his wife was pregnant with one child (Because space Ultra-Scans are cr*p?) then maybe it would make sense that only Luke had to be hidden from Palpatine/Vader.
Luke and Leia represent the future of the galaxy, and their safety must be paramount. “The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him,” Ben explains to Luke.
Slipping through the Emperor’s hostile defenses, Kenobi manages to rescue Skywalker’s family. Leia and her mother then go to live on Alderaan, in the safety of Bail Organa’s family, while Obi-wan delivers Luke to his brother Owen Lars, possibly stopping first on Dagobah to bid Yoda farewell. (When he arrives on Dagobah, Luke tells Artoo- Detoo “there’s something familiar about this place,” suggesting that he has some childhood memory buried deep in his subconscious.) Kenobi then settles on Tatooine, not far from his brother’s moisture farm, changes his name (to Ben) and awaits the day when the young Luke will heed his own call to adventure. The film ends on a hopeful note. Even though the Republic has fallen to a greedy and corrupt politician and his sinister forces, a new Republic will someday emerge from the ashes of the old.
There’s actually a lot of stuff going on in [Menace], and it has to be there in order to make the story work.
[Anakin] has to start good and turn evil. You can’t have a monster turning into a monster. That’s not a story.
