Yoda's out to kick some butt in Path of the Jedi - Time Waster

My 4-year-old son is completely enamored with all things Star Wars right now, so when we stumbled across Path of the Jedi on Cartoon Network's web site the other day he just about fell off his chair in excitement.
In addition to playing as Yoda, you can also wield your saber as Ahsoka or Anakin, and there are three episodes to play: Shadow of Grievous, Assassin's Snare, and Ambush on Vassek. Each one is fairly massive, so be prepared to wait for about a minute the first time you play.

Nothing like killing a little time with a few Jedi mind tricks!

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

they weren't kidding about large levels. Firefox's ram usage shot from 50mb to 600 in the course of 6 minutes.

I would love to have a nice Star Wars jump'n'run, but this one has terribly jerky animation, probably because all movements are prerendered.
Also, I think it's bad design if the controls require you to use an english keyboard layout.
