re: Most Powerful Jedi?

I get this. It just seemed like you were claiming that Yoda the wise hermit and Yoda the powerful combatant are mutually exclusive.

I didn't find it hard to digest that prequel CG Yoda is some kind of kickass Miyagi figure, but his fight sequences were obviously designed to suit the atmosphere of lightsaber porn rather than any kind of coherent narrative structure.

Agreed. Like in the film "Kung Fu Panda" (where they got a wise Yoda character right), the turtle hermit can't be taken down easily and does it simply to the main bad guy by pressure points. As far as they should have gone making the Emperor and Yoda badasses was a psychic showdown in some form. Note in their duel at the end of "Revenge of the Sith" that was really the only interesting part, but Yoda hoping around is still extremely silly.
