“He would NOT fucking say that” does not apply to yoda, who could plausibly say anything
Took ecstacy and remembered people have feelings, I did. Making the rounds and apologizing for my past misdeeds I am
I know this is about characterization, but it reminds me of the BadLipReading edit of Yoda where he’s saying alll sorts of random nonsense about like, seagulls and stuff
Which always stood out to me because, BadLipReading usually gets the randomness from like. actual bad lip reading, and how reading lips isn’t really that reliable, and how people’s mouth movements can look the same while making all sorts of different sounds, and so if you read lips without thinking critically about what people could logically be saying, you can end up reading complete surrealist gibberish
But Yoda (original, unremastered trilogy) isn’t like that.
He had an unarticulated little puppet mouth that just… opened and closed
So, in terms of lip-reading, Yoda quite literally could be saying anything
They could have put ANY words in Yoda’s mouth
and they picked that
