Well, the original reason for him looking so different between "New Hope" and "Empire" was a car crash. At the time, he didn't have a recent picture of himself, so the surgeons rebuilt his face based on an older one. Lucas wrote the Wampa attack into "Empire" as an explanation for the mythology.
The comment was a joke.

The ESB movie doesn't explain this clearly, and shows events that aren't in strictly chronological order, but the Millennium Falcon, lacking hyperdrive, takes a long time to get to the Cloud City, from days to weeks to maybe months. Luke is training with Yoda that whole time.
The chronology is:
1) Rebels flee Hoth. Luke sets course for Dagobah.
2) The Millennium Falcon evades the Empire, setting course for Bespin.
3) Luke arrives at Dagobah, is trained by Yoda.
4) The Millennium Falcon arrives at the Cloud City.

Clone wars season 6 is really still in the works? I thought it was always gonna be 5 seasons. Some have guessed that it could just be moved to Disney XD.
I'm sure some casting news will come in March and April.

Weeks or months? They don't even change their clothes. Sure in sci-fi it's all futuristic and alien to have characters wearing uniform clothing constantly but literally no storytelling device of any kind is used to illustrate any great passage of time. The characters aren't shown sleeping. There are no references about the length of time the journey is taking. Nothing. Sometimes people read too much into things.

Speaking of Yoda, he is always wearing tattered jedi robes in the original trilogy. When he went into isolation on Dagobah how many sets of clothes did he take with him? He may very well have been wearing the same robe every single day for 20 years...

The dude probably marked his territory in Degobah, by grabbing his sack before he touched anything he came in contact with. The strength of his ball stench was probably stronger; ounce for ounce, than his power of the force.

Glad to see the hype for episode VII has turned into clothes washing and Yoda balls...
On a serious note, when Chewbacca took a shit, did it stick to his fur?

Dingleberries!
I just thought of something else regarding Yoda. Clothes don't generally last 20 years. His robe wouldn't just be tattered; it would have massive holes in it. Maybe he actually isn't wearing anything at all. Maybe Yoda is just doing a jedi mind trick to make everyone think he is fully clothed when he is actually running around naked as a jaybird.

In "Return of the Jedi," Chewbacca and an Ewok were both taking shits in the grass of Endor.
Chewbacca asked the Ewok if shit stuck to his fur. The Ewok replied, "Yes, it does."
Chewbacca grabbed the Ewok and wiped his ass with him.

That wasn't his fur you saw he just slathered himself in wookie turds.

OK. But I think the plot will be Palpatine survived ROTJ since he fell into the Death Star sewage treatment vat, which survived the explosion. A star destoyer tractor beamed it onboard before fleeing Endor. So he lived to fight again...20 years later.

I know a lot of people hated Dark Empire, but it actually does fit in with ROTS when Palpatine is telling Anakin about Darth Plagueis and how they discovered how to cheat death.
They could also bring Plagueis into VII-IX...

Or they could do the Dark Empire storyarc where he stayed alive in clone bodies. A body would die, but his spirit would always live on, so killing the body in essence does nothing.

I would love to see Anakin's ghost appear in the new trilogy though; it'd be cool if they could get Hayden to do a scene with Carrie, where she rejects his plea for forgiveness.

I definitely don't want to see Vader back, at least not Anakin, but I wouldn't mind if it was just some pretender using his name.
