    Is it just me or does Yoda being on Vodafone adverts just seem so wrong?.

    No, I'm with you but it's nowhere near as wrong as The Phantom Menace or Jar Jar Binks were. I'd gladly keep these ads to rid the world of The Phantom Menace. Hell I'd gladly let Vodafone change their name to Yodafone and use his head as their logo if it meant getting rid of that film.

    Yeah, I'm a marketing genius. :)

    Ah, they ruined his character more in the new films with that ridiculous fight scene with Dooku having him jump and bounce about the place like a coked up acrobat and screaming like an eejit. Makes me wonder is he just using that walking stick so that he can park in the disabled spot.

    Yeah and don't forget the free bus pass, problem is after watching it numerous time and taking it apart I'm beginning to think if we take the ubiquitous Darkside element away from Star Wars - what's left?. I think I just pissed off 1000's of fans (including myself) but I still love Yoda.

    There was some campaign or petition to stop the first Yoda ad but if you look at the recent Star Wars releases it's all looking like Lucasarts are cashing in.
