Yoda is a soldier. He's not just a grunt, either. He symbolizes conflict and war. He is the hero of a movie franchise called Star Wars. It's literally a blockbuster movie about war. Glorifying war. So I feel that the artist made a horrible artistic choice in using Star Wars as a play on Stop Wars.

Like all the anti-war movies whose main characters are soldiers? That's a shallow point of view if I've ever read one.

Yoda saw the fall of the democratic nation he wanted to protect, the rise of a fascist empire, and lost everybody he ever knew and cherished along the way, only to end up as a bitter hermit in a swamp. Soldiers are victims too, even if they don't die in a war.
