Really I am only complaining because I really want a Lego Yoda, and I don't
want him to be as tall as Luke.

The best I've been able to figure is that all the lego minifigs are intended to
be children playing dress-up. Which explains their proportions pretty well,
actually.

One way to make a Yoda is to put one of the tan jedi robe torsos on top of two
or four 1x1 round plates. You'd also need green hands.

I'm not sure what you'd do for the head, though. My first thought was to use
some kind of mutilation of the 1x1 round brick with leaves from the Ninja sets,
but that would leave his head a little skinny. :) If we eventually get a Yoda
head, that should take care of that problem though. This isn't all that
unlikely, since they gave Chewie and C3PO custom heads.

But a TLC Yoda will probably still have the normal legs, so you'll have to do
the 1x1 round plates trick.

(...) I used a 1x2 plate under the torso, then put two 1x1 plates with horizontal clips (the clips poking forward for feet) beneath them. Of course, this requires green 1x1 plates with clips, and green hands, which I'm not sure exist. I did it with (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hello, this is my first replying to a message, although I have been reading the messages here for a few months. I just wanted to say that TLC might make a solid plastic Yoda like they did with Sebulba. That way he could be shorter than (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Alright this may have been previously discussed however I wish to weigh in on the subject. I just got my first Anakin figure in the Naboo starfighter set, and he is as tall as everyone else. This little boy stands eye to eye with Qui-Gon and (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
