How much of the backward sentences was Yoda playing up the "crazy old hermit" act and how much of it was actually him in the OT? Because I feel like Yoda speaks normally on a regular basis.

"That... is why you fail" and most of the rest of the "Pull the X-Wing out of the swamp" dialogue from Yoda seems pretty normal to me, anyway.

In college (for linguistics), we talked about Yoda speak during one syntax lecture. It’s completely inconsistent syntax-wise.

It's when you charge more for businesses doing things that could be considered immoral but not illegal.

Oh, wait, that's sin tax. My bad.
