WTF was that? I always assumed that Yoda didn't use a saber, or really any weapon. "The force is a powerful ally", and all that. I figured he'd get attacked and simply shrug it off. Saber swing? Deflected by seemingly nothing. Blasters? Miss. He doesn't need to fight. That's how much of a badass he is.
What did Lucas do? A tiny saber that made no sense and jumping through the air.
What made the OT good was the people around Lucas that shaped his ideas. Formed them into what they became. The force being a more mystical thing was not Lucas' idea, for example. Which is why it became 'midichlorians' in the PT. The guy's got a good framework of ideas, but his details and execution are severely lacking.
He jumped around like a flea!
