"And check out Yoda's syntax switch next time the rocket jockeys rerun."
I won't deny the syntax switch but do wonder whether he was in less of a
hurry setting a perimiter round the survivors than when directing fire
against a large ship. I'd say it has more to do with the time at hand in the
scene in view; that is, the emphasis being placed on the lines. 'Setting the
perimeter' happens just after his surprise arrival, whereas 'concentrating
the fire' occurs in the middle of the clamactic battle, the first is a line
you remember, the second one you'll forget. As a tester, see which quote
appears on IMDB - I haven't checked.
I figured it was a different comp, but thought a touch of conspiracy might
add to the tension.

Simon: This isn't the usual Yost. I suspect an imposter. And dissing Yoda!
Only the Sith would diss Yoda....
Sith when? No impostor here, just writing from a different computer. And
check out Yoda's syntax switch next time the rocket jockeys rerun.
The force is weak in me. It's more like a mood.
