Unsuccessful with children? Exactly whose children did he ask? I was 14 when ESB came out, and took my 9 year old cousin with me to the theater. He was ENTRANCED by Yoda, which did not keep him from continually swiping my Chewbacca figure whenever he had the chance. I talked to others, with kids of their own or younger siblings, and they all reported the same thing. The kids LOVED Yoda. He could be silly, and he could also be a good teacher.
How could stupid, inane Jar Jar, who was a walking, (and unfortunately) talking collection of some of the most offensive racist cliches, possibly be mentioned like that, in the same sentence as YODA??? HOW was he a success, when there is an almost universal LOATHING of Jar Jar, while Yoda is still considered incredibly cool?
For the record, I don't consider that pathetic parody of a similar looking creature in the PT to be Yoda. The REAL Yoda would never have walked away from that fight with Palpy.
CowboyCurtis, I think you may have named the one entity who could possibly answer that question.
