The examples you've quoted are excellent illustrations of why inversions don't normally require commas.

Of course, when you're talking about Yoda's formulations, you're really talking about the writer's. And since there's no point to making Yoda's syntax sound random (he's supposed to sound like a sage, after all), it looks as though Lucas was using syntax inconsistently en route to getting the job done. I doubt he realized we'd be diagramming his sentences thirty-three years later!
