"What is going on" is that the first and last pictures are only millisconds apart of the same stroke. Look at the player in the background, his downstroke position has only changed slightly. Even the lights of the incoming UFO seen between the players are in the same position in both pictures Unless, of course, Yoda is able to change his swing technique mid-swing

Those two pictures are NOT from the same Stroke.

Go look at the original video in The Gallery section if you don't believe me.

They are two different strokes. One of them with Yoda demonstrating Swinging, the other Hitting.

The player in the background is just coincidence.
