the Daffy Duck flip out in II was ridiculous.

things were a bit toned down in III, but it would've been better if Palpy had been shown kind of a being coward, knowing that he could actually lose to Yoda and having him run off to safety.

nothing explains Yoda in Episode V, though - why was he so batty and jerky?! was he hiding his true nature (Jedi master) with his facade (annoying prankster)? was he just so loopy from all of the years of solitude? senility? what?
