Taking suggestions as to what to do to her now...

Um, tell her she's right? That was pretty gay.

1. He hobbles in on a cane, then starts spinning and flipping through the air, then picks his cane back up and continues hobbling.
2. He's flying around like a coked-out chimp, but doesn't at any time come close to even nicking the guy.
3. The choreography for the fight was straight cheasy 80's kung-foo B movie all the way.
4. What's with the mini lightsaber? Do other Jedi carry those things around like pocket knifes?

Um, you do understand that he was using the Force to fight...

It's called the Force. He can use it.... No need to use it for walking around when he doesn't have to.

I believe that Dooku was a good fighter, as well....

Yoda's not even 3 feet tall! Why on earth would he have a lightsaber that's longer than he is tall?

I have nothing of value to add except that I've never seen episode 2. :Q

NEF, and back to the original question of the quote, I'd beat her with a whiffle ball bat

Tell her I couldn't agree more, it was rather embarrassing to watch the little midget bounce around. Both episodes of the prequel have had a disturbing Disney ala Toy Story element to it as if the goal is to appeal to the 'family' audience starting at around 6 years old.

I don't know of a way that you can make the rather dark and complex 'good v. evil' genre of Star Wars appealing for the whole family in a manner which doesn't betray the gripping and dark story-telling accomplished in the original Trilogy, but I can say with certainty that George Lucas doesn't know of a way, either.

Dude, Yoda was the man. I always knew he didn't have jedi status to stand around and talk like grover, but more shriveled and discolored like Oscar. Episode II reinstated my faith in him. And it's the only part of the movie worth seeing, IMO.
