I remember Fernwithy (a librarian herself) complaining that Jocasta Nu's dismissiveness wasn't the reaction of a typical librarian, although maybe we could say "not only are the Jedi not all they could be as Jedi..." Having taken a compare-and-contrast look between Star Wars and the Lensman space opera novels of E.E. "Doc" Smith, I can think of some much more gung-ho librarians in those older books.

"Yoda and the younglings" is absolutely a charming scene to me too, but I suppose I might be a little more conscious than usual of how those already in a bad mood would run it through a negative filter. I can certainly turn to a "Yoda knows Obi-Wan might need a bit of a teaching moment too" interpretation. I've also wound up going from "this shows Yoda wasn't just a stern authority figure in the new movies" to wondering if the act he puts on to test Luke when they first meets has distracted the usual suspects from just how he acts through the rest of The Empire Strikes Back...
