My Yoda is life sized (Yoda life sized). The 'girls' at work gave him to me for Easter as I have so many toys in my office. He had these huge bunny ears (I guess cause it was Easter).....so I have to admit...I CUT off his bunny ears (apologizing profusely to him as I did) LOL And no I am not levitating.....YET.
I agree with your non-scientific observations.
