Did Yoda file for Bankruptcy?

[habilis]

I just realized something strange after watching the Star Wars prequel, Episode 2, the one where Yoda is young; How the hell did Yoda go from living in a swanky exclusive tower in the sky, sitting pretty on big silk pillows, surrounded by servants and all the finest luxuries money can buy, to living in a 4 foot high mud hut crawling with snakes and lizards in the middle of an infernal swamp?

I mean, did Jedi stocks crash or something? Accounting fraud? Did Yoda have some sort of spiritual anti-mateialistic awakening? I'm probably behind the times and out of the Star Wars loop on this one.

If I remember correctly,
The Jedi where attacked and they all ran for their lives. I belive Yoda and Obi (both hiding) in older movies are prettymuch the last of the Jedi?

Well, you could argue that it was Yoda's home planet, or that everything there was alive, therefore a buncha Force all around (or that midichlorian stuff dumped on us). It could be the Jedi way ("adventure, a Jedi craves not, hmmmppphh"), or you could maybe say that he's a freakin' sock puppet turned computerized cartoon so it doesn't matter where he lives because he doesn't live.
Personally, I'm thinking he's hiding low. Avoiding that #@&#*# Jar-Jar, or maybe he got tired of teaching all those spoon-bending sprites and headed to the Dakotas of the Star Wars world.
And I can't believe I'm actually thinking about this...

Star Wars Episode 3 (the new one and not the old one which was actually the Episode 6 ) will solve all your questions regarding this and not only!

It's strange I know, but I think I did like Yoda better when he was a jiggly hunk of foam rubber.

habilis - I'm with you on that. The critters on the original Starwars, that were all muppety things, or one or two guys walking around in a big fur suit, were way cooler. They looked more like living things - lumpy, imperfect, and not moving around like the shapeshifter robot from Terminator 2...
