I feel like be like why are you strong
is he with the force oh wait put your
weapon I mean you no harm
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the origins of Yoda
I’m not afraid
yeah you will be
you will be this iconic Star Wars
character is arguably the oldest and
wisest Jedi Master in the franchise and
he made his on-screen debut in 1980s The
Empire Strikes Back at the insistence of
his mentor obi-wan Kenobi Luke Skywalker
seeks out the old and reclusive Yoda at
his home in the swamps of Dagobah okay
thank someone you have I would say right
it is there that Yoda immediately begins
using his small stature and whimsical
demeanor to teach the young Skywalker
about making assumptions that size isn’t
everything and about purging himself of
anger and hatred look at me
that’s me by my size do you eventually
yoda succeeds in training Luke to become
a Jedi
but soon he passes away and becomes one
with the force though the idea for this
memorable character came from George
Lucas himself his look was imagined and
developed by legendary film makeup
artist Stuart Freeborn after a long
creation process marked by countless
redesigns Yoda slowly but surely became
the two-foot tall creature we know and
love today complete with green skin long
elfin ears claws reptilian try dactyl
feet and foam-rubber skin with 900 years
old you reach British good humor not
interestingly freeborn’s final design
merged aspects of his own face with
elements of Albert Einstein’s just as
important as his look is Yoda’s
distinctive voice and personality do or
do not there is no try these were
developed and portrayed by puppeteer
Frank Oz a prominent talent from the Jim
Henson company known for Muppet
characters like Miss Piggy Cookie
Monster and Grover Yoda may be a
centerpiece of the Star Wars saga but he
is unique to the franchise because his
origin story is a guarded mystery George
Lucas opted to keep his species and
homeworld unnamed and unexplored
despite this the prequel film trilogy
expands upon elements of Yoda’s legacy
by establishing that for over 800 years
Yoda trained countless stood
in the ways of the force as early as
Episode one the Phantom Menace Yoda is
shown as the prominent figure within the
12-member Jedi Council on the city
planet of course and he is even joined
by a member of his own species
a female Jedi master named yeah ttle the
design of which incorporated elements of
the original unused yoda concept
sketches although her character is
hardly featured in the films at all keen
eyed fans can spot her in the council
scenes during this trilogy Yoda is shown
to have taught that Jedi children
advised his order during the Clone Wars
crisis and unwittingly sealed the
Republic’s fate by allowing Anakin
Skywalker’s training your apprentice
Skywalker will be interestingly 1999’s
The Phantom Menace features a younger
looking puppet as this version of Yoda
but that puppet is replaced by CGI in
episodes two and three and again by a
computer model for the blu-ray
re-release even though he’s younger this
depiction of Yoda still requires the use
of his walking cane but he’s shown to
have the energy to personally lead a
clone army and confront both his former
pupil Count Dooku and Darth Sidious in
armed combat it’s so powerful you are
remarkably these duels allow him to
showcase his mastery of the force
surprising agility speed and expertise
with a lightsaber unfortunately it is
Yoda’s ultimate failure in detecting the
workings of the darkside that leads to a
galaxy-wide purge of the Jedi
intervention I must go
fail because of his loss to the newly
self-anointed
Emperor Yoda instructs obi-wan to send
Anakin’s twins into hiding he chooses
exile on the remote planet of Dagobah
for himself and it is there that he has
given the chance to commune with qui-gon
jinn who has learned the secret of
immortality a fixture in the Star Wars
universe
Yoda remains one of the most famous
sci-fi characters ever beloved for his
personality wisdom and unforgettable
backward method of speech strange is the
enemy’s strategy his popularity
continues to grow as he appears in

series Yoda story will continue to reach
new generations as he is expected to
