When I watch Empire, I'm always expecting Yoda to be more sarcastic when Obi-Wan is being all destiny-eyed and such. I always wanted him to say 'no, Kenobi, there's a lot of fucking people in a galaxy'.
I wonder if Yoda realized that all his efforts with Skywalker would basically amount to a distraction for Vader and Palpatine, and that the real battle would be won by Ewoks and the Rebels in Ackbar's fleet.
Haha! That would have been great, a cantankerous old Yoda.
As for the second part, yes he did provide a bit of a distraction, but then again, Palpatine was prepared. If I remember it correctly, it was a trap to destroy the Rebel fleet. Could it be said, then, that Luke was just a distraction? Also, Palpatine had to go anyway. Okay, I'm trying to remember what it said in the novelization (yes, I am such a dork) but I think that with the emperor dead, the cohesiveness of the Imperial forces decreased, as he was no longer exerting his influence on them?
I'm glad you liked it. This was actually my first foray into humour and I was a little unsure if it was too silly. I'm thinking about writing more humour shorts when the muse strikes me... There is a possibility for an alternate (paradoy) look at the "Join Me" scene in ESB in the near future.

I love being a dork at times.
