If you think he was, do You think he was always meant to be this?

He was only "comic relief" when Luke first meets him. C3PO and R2D2 were the comic relief. Jar Jar Binks was the (alleged) comic relief in Phantom Menace.

no he clearly wasn't. After only 1.5 scenes the stopped playing the clown and became very serious a muppet. This is what the writer of TLJ did not understand when writing Yoda. He is not a giggling clown stomping his feet and quipping like a Marvel character. He does not call Luke "Skywalker". A Force ghost cannot throw lightning like a Sith. Or you render everything absurd that came before. Oh well…  |

Oh well… I remember Rian Johnson saying something on how he wanted Yoda to be like he was in Empire and that included the way he behaved when he first meets Luke which was in a silly way. |

Oh well… I remember Rian Johnson saying something on how he wanted Yoda to be like he was in Empire and that included the way he behaved when he first meets Luke which was in a silly way. and so they did, they essentially reconstructed the legacy characters psychologically as they pleased. - Han as a adult-diaper wearing smugger with a famous name and face (great for smuggling) running away from his family when his son is going a dark path despite his OT character arc, or - Luke tempted to murder his nephew in his sleep and lettig the Jedi being wiped out again only to run away and pout and die on an "unfindable" island leaving back a map and "in the meantime" letting the Empire rise again, - Yoda being a silly lightning-throwing Force clown calling Luke "Skywalker" and joking about the sacred texts being no page turners, being happy with leaving the entire Jedi legacy in the hands of a completely untrained girl, or - Lando"Baby"Calrissian being a robosexual cape-aholic hipster clown. - Did I mention Leia becoming a general hugging a complete stranger to mourn for Han by ignoring her friend Chewie and her soldiers, and her being reborn as space Marry Poppins...? Or maybe the Falcon, likely the most famous museum-piece of a ship in the galaxy everybody has heard about: standing around like "garbage". Indeed "the garbage will do". A trend? A patter? No, textbook bad & incongruent writing. |

Debatably. He seemed more serious though since he’s a mental guide for Luke adding to the story, regardless of whatever quips comes from him.

No, it was definitely C-3PO if one character had to be identified as such. But it was spread across different characters like the banter between Leia and Solo, Chewie's antics, and Lando's one-liners.

It was the gay robots. Yoda was very briefly but soon became mysterious and possibly a threat.
