If The Empire Strikes Back had been written by the same hacks that took over writing Yoda later on, some of his most evocative lines would’ve been completely garbled. “Try, there is not”, “These things, a Jedi craves not”, “One great make, war does not”.
I am working my way through Clone Wars now and falling off, my ears are. I got the impression that Yoda Speak was originally meant to resemble topic-comment languages with sentence-final predicate, but some of these later more hacky lines like “Travel to Dathomir, you must” completely missed that memo.
