"Feel that in the morning, I will."

Was thinking today about how Yoda (especially post-Episode 2) is very much a part of the cinematic martial arts tradition of the Wise Old Master. You know the type: tiny, ancient, looks half past dead... and if you're stupid enough to mistake this for weakness, he will KICK your disrespectful ass up one side of Wu-Tan Mountain and down the other.

"Endeth here, the lesson does."

If you should happen to meet one of these guys in a fight (or a tournament), just surrender; it'll save time and a beating. The same goes for any blind swordsmen, or warriors accompanied by a baby or small child.
