Just rewatched The Empire Strikes Back yesterday and got to this little shit. What was the deal with his introduction? Why was he acting like childish asshole over a piece of food?

>MINE! MINE! MINE!

Was he autistic?

senile insanity. massive defeat, loss, isolation and despair can do that even to Yoda.

its more likely that they changed his role over time though
>>
>>64006223
No, but you are. He was testing Luke's patience. He failed the test.
>>

you millennials disgust me

he was the Campbellian trickster-mentor character who tests the hero through wit and toil

Did you stop half way through that scene to make this shitty post? He explains it fucking clearly at the end of this scene. You've got less patience than Luke you fuck

Part of it is the fact that he had been a hermit for 15-20 years. That long in isolation will crack a mind. All it takes is a day on 4chan to see what loneliness can do to someone's mind

He's testing Luke's patience. It's a ruse. That way, he gets to know more about Luke than if he presented himself as the master Jedi. (I misspelled "amster jedi", kek.)

Remember also that nobody knew who Yoda was, we all imagined he was a giant, some powerful motherfucker.
>>
>>64006538
Yeah and Vader being Luke's father isn't a shocking reveal at all if you watch the prequels first. The Episode numbers are lower but you weren't supposed to watch them first anon.

>Luke hints at the existence of teleportation early on in A New Hope ("Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock."), therefore it is quite possible Bigger Luke is indeed being teleported into certain shots of the original Star Wars trilogy.

>>64007837
>If R2 is indeed teleport-shuffling Luke Prime with a cloned Bigger Luke, this would imply that R2 has access to technology far beyond that of the rest of the galaxy. How does R2 have access to a technology that even the Empire lacks? The Empire is never seen utilizing any form of teleportation, and it is also possible that Luke's acknowledgement of teleportation was merely intended to be sarcastic, at least as far as the Star Wars canon is concerned. However, his otherwise tongue-in-cheek statement may be intended to hint to the viewer that Luke is, in fact, being teleported at regular intervals by some unknown force, probably R2.

Box sets are always ordered 1-2-3-4-5-6, every marathon watching thing is 1-2-3-4-5-6.
It's how Lucas intended.

>>64007813
Everything has to be spelled out because test audiences are bored and disinterested in everything except the paycheck. Test audiences are always tailored this way because the vast majority of the spending demographic is bored and disinterested in anything that isn't fucking.

Which means there isn't any money in making movies for people who actually like stuff.

Nice 404

Or are you one of the alternate universe posters we get so much on 4chan?

>>64007898
During the battle of naboo the only sane explanation for his antics is that hes a master of Zui quan. I can recognise this because of years of pretending to be retarded on the internet.

>>64006223
He was going a bit senile and living so close to a dark-side cave meant that he probably talked to a lot of force ghosts.
Since they were evil dicks they liked to mess with him and were always touching his stuff.

It probably works fine in his dimension.

Of course the awareness that hes a cross-dimensional poster has caused his dimension to diverge from ours. So in his dimenison we got BTFO'd

better lock him up, he is clearly a danger to himself or others.

Darth wasn't even planned to be Luke's father in the first episode. The whole thing has been a retcon shitfest since the very beginning.

True. Just dump Luke and tell Obi-Ghost to fetch Leia jailbait.

>>64008255
The really atrocious retcon is "Darth" being the title every Sith has. Obi-Wan calls him that as if it's his first name for shit's sake.

The "bigger luke" hypothesis is a counter-argument to the darth-jarjar hypothesis.

Nothing can be proven wrong, therefore, they must be correct.

>>64008416
I guess now we can assume Obi-Wan was probably making a mockery of the "Darth" title or something.

I don't think it's that heinous, like >>64008766 says it's like if someone you knew started calling themselves "lord" so you do it to take the piss.

"The boy has no patience" is one of the best lines in Star Wars. In one second, Yoda goes from a dumbass comic relief puppet to the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy and I totally believe it.

Prequel Yoda was a meme, always speaking backwards like that. He rarely speaks that way in the OTs. What the fuck, George?

You have to understand the gay fucking atmosphere of the time period to get this. America was OBSESSED with all things Asian, especially new age Zen/Shaolin/KungFu/Easter Mysticism.

In some of those stories, the wise old teacher acts the fool to throw off the would-be pupil and teach him a lesson about appearances and what the true essence of the gay fucking art that he teaches is.

It's not a test. It's a lesson.
