The thing is, Yoda doesn't simply use an "incorrect" word order. He uses a word order which emphasizes the focus of his sentence by putting it first. Since Hungarian already does this, there is nothing different in Hungarian about the way Yoda talks.

Yes. My point was merely that this is bad. Yoda is supposed to talk differently. If he doesn't, then the translator didn't do their job properly.
