I knew you guys would pick up on this story. I can't wait to get this book. Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie. I remember George Lucas saying some of this stuff even around the time of Episode 1. Specifically the thing about Yoda not fighting. To me, it was like Yoda was better than that. Stronger in that he wouldn't need a lightsaber just like the Emperor doesn't use one in Return of the Jedi. Even the continuity bits with Anakin and the family and Leia remembering her mother. This was the stuff that made me excited for the prequels. I can't believe George Lucas didn't reference his original notes and decided to go on this strange tangent.
Also, on the whole Yoda teaching thing. Remember Obi-Wan started teaching Luke the more physical stuff. Yoda was trying to teach the internal stuff. Especially the importance of defense first. Which most of the original lightsaber fighting was. It's kind of like when I was learning fencing. I was mostly into defending and attacking only when I wore a person down and saw opportunity. I wasn't doing all these crazy moves like in the prequels. Even though those moves look cool.
