Lucas changes around Star Wars movies yet again.
Mikezilla:
I was just told by a friend that yoda died at 900. So, that drives my point home even further. ;D

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know how badass he was 150 years prior. Maybe he was Chuck Norris back then.
Vigo:
I at first pinned as Yoda turned goofy from living alone in a swamp, but since he can Jedi talk to all his dead friends, I don't think being alone was the issue. The only plausible thing is that Yoda was in fact a dick, and out of boredom, he just began taking mind altering drugs on dagobah. The drugs mellowed him out, but in the end eventually killed him. For a 900 year old guy, that health failure was very sudden.
Edit: Oh, and checking the star wars wiki, Yoda spend many early years living on a swamp planet as well...i think living in a swamp was a personal preference.

Here's what I think.
1) If he wants to change the movie, he can. Its HIS movie, he can do whatever he wants about it.
2) Just about EVERYONE of you nerds that I know that saw episode one on opening night thought it was freaking awesome. Only later did they come back to earth and that piece of garbage ruined more things about the first 3 films than someone adding in blinking eyes to the Ewoks, who themselves were kind of stupid and a waste to begin with.
3) Why are you bitching about effects? That is what made that whole movie popular and interesting in the first place. Hell the whole franchise is more or less on giant infomercial for Industrial Light and Magic.
4) This whole "books are better" blah blah blah. The whole thing is kind of dumb. In the original trilogy, they make the Jedi out to be some sort of mythical, underground sect. Its almost like they are a legend and they didn't exist. Then you find out later that only 20 years prior they were part of the ruling class. Its stupid to think that they would go from pre-eminent decision makers to hermit, loaner "nobody believes they exist" type mythological creatures within 20 years. Books, or movies, that whole premise is retarded.
5) The whole Jedi thing was really lame. Luke Skywalker is a little ---smurfette--- throughout the whole movie. Han Solo made that whole thing interesting. That's why episodes one through three sucked. Nobody watched the first three movies and and thought, "you know what? I wonder what Darth Vader was like as a kid and young man? You know what else? I want to know more about Luke Skywalkers mom " No, nobody gives a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about that. It would have been better if they focused on Han and Chewie and the intergalactic boozing and tail chasing they did before they had to babysit Luke.

The books do focus on Han and Chewie's life both before and after they met Luke. In fact there are dozens of books specifically about Han/Leia/their kids and Han/Chewie/pre Rebellion. Doesn't make much sense to say the books are dumb and then complain that you missed out on what is in them.
