Yoda and the whole Jedi philosophy are wrong.
they say that fear and anger are bad because they lead to hatred. Don't they realize the importance of fear? fear is what is stopping you from going into battle without a lightsaber, and even what makes you fight back in the first place. no fear=sitting there and letting them shoot you. no anger=stress build up and high blood pressure. the Jedi contradict themselves by defending themselves.

Yoda and the whole Jedi philosophy are wrong.
The first line of the Jedi Code:

There is no emotion, there is peace....

is true. A Jedi must control his emotions, which are dangerous.

One could argue they do not defend themselves out of fear.

But I don't really give much of a rats about Star Wars anyway so diss them all you like. :)

I think that's right. My interpretation would be that Jedi are trained to the point where their self-defense is a very analytical process. They don't think, "OMFG BBQ SUM1 IZ SHOOTING AT ME!!!!111111", but, "Well, there are guys there, there, and there, so if I deflect at that angle and jump over there I will be able to occupy those guys long enough for my partner to clear a way out of here," etc.

When was that?
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

The Light Side has Samuel L. Jackson. If I were a Sith, I would take on all the other Jedi just to avoid fighting that badass mother****er.

Nah, he left all the badassness on his other suit, the pulp fiction suit. Here he is just a fluffy little inocent bunny.

it's not so much having fear as letting it control you (ie, crapping yer pants)

anyone been watching the Clone Wars cartoon series BTW ? It rocks.

No way. The man has BMF engraved on his lightsaber. He brings a can of whoopass with him wherever he goes. If Mace Windu had been with  Han, Luke, Leia and company during their adventure on the first Death Star, they would have walked out of that station with every single person on board dead. Then he would have killed Chewie just to show Han who's boss.

It definitely wasn't from the movie; I don't think he said more than five words in the entire film. :p
