Because it's there.

This insane theory requires an illustration.

Though it's not like people don't already know what I'm talking about.

I know what species Yoda is. Yoda is a Mogwai.

Check it out and don't even try to deny it.

Gizmo is a juvenile of the same species as Yoda. I have already concluded that E.T. takes place in the same universe as Star Wars, so why can't Gremlins?

Incidentally, I have decided that the plural of "Yoda" is "Yodae."

I want to see a planet of Yodae. I want to see millions of little green (and why not blue, or grey, or brown?) guys hanging from trees by their clawed toes.

I know it will never happen, but I can dream.

And we never do see him get wet...

I was trying to remember if he did while he was running Luke through his training while on Dagobah. I don't recall any occasions when he did. I can't imagine how he could avoid it, though, living on a swamp world.

Perhaps once they get past a particular age, that is no longer a factor. Or (and don't shoot me here as I'm only using this example as a frame of reference) after a particular age, they go through a "seven year itch" type thing like Vulcans where getting wet isn't an issue anymore. Just a couple of theories to expand on yours, Culator.

I agree with hansgirl13, Yoda is beyond the point of being affected by water. Like a true Master, he has overcome his weaknesses and made them his strengths. Thinking that Yoda started out as furry little youngling brings warm feelings to my heart...ha!

OK, so the Mogwai life-cycle goes Gizmo -> Gremlin -> Yoda. Then the Mogwai homeworld would have them in all three stages of growth.

Perhaps the infant and adolescent Mogwai live in caves, and they migrate to an above-ground (possibly arboreal) lifestyle on reaching adulthood.

"never seen that movie or whatever it is so I do not really get it....."

I was under the impression that all English-speaking individuals born in or before 1990 had seen Gremlins or Gremlins 2 or both.

(Of course, I also used to think that all citizens of the United Kingdom liked Monty Python, until I encountered a Scotsman who had never heard the SPAM song.)
