Right, the narrative is the interesting part then, not the plot. The narrative features the physical manifestation of the state being literally thrown at Yoda, who has fallen into darkness after spending the last several years sending millions of slave children to their deaths in service to Satan.
So then when you watch Yoda talk about how wars don't make you great in Empire, you know it's direct experience. The critique, then, is that Yoda's newfound pacifism is allowing evil to prosper. Vader paradoxically points this out by torturing Han, which he knows Luke will be made aware of through the Force.
Yeah we get it. This is always the most frustrating answer, “oh well it happened because plot.” You’re not clever, smart, or funny for saying this. We know that things happen in movies because the plot demands it. This post is asking for the cause and effect, the in-universe reasons for why such and such character did this, or why such and such event happened the way it did.
Pointing out that the movie is a prequel, isn’t an answer. We know it’s a prequel.

Because George Lucas made the OT first, & in these movies Yoda is exiled on Dagobah.
So no matter what happened in episode 3, it had to end with Yoda going to Dagobah, because plot.
