Star Wars Pin-up FRAMED # 6 The Empire Strikes Back Yoda on Dagobah

Description

Luke escapes with R2-D2 in an X-wing fighter and crash lands on Dagobah. He is soon found by the diminutive Yoda, who at first pretends to be a simple swamp inhabitant in order to test Luke’s patience. After conferring with Obi-Wan’s spirit, Yoda accepts Luke as his pupil. Yoda is a powerful Jedi Master in the Star Wars universe. Series creator George Lucas originally wished Yoda to follow his other characters in having a full name—Minch Yoda—but instead opted to have many details of the character’s life history remain unknown. Yoda’s race and home world have not been named in any media, canonical or otherwise, and he is merely said to be of a “species unknown” by the Star Wars Databank. Yoda’s speech syntax has been analyzed and discussed by academic syntacticians, who found it somewhat inconsistent, but could extrapolate that “Yodic” has object–subject–verb word order. Yoda doesn’t initially identify himself to Luke and instead tests his patience by presenting himself as a comical and senile backwater individual, deliberately provoking both Luke and R2-D2 (portrayed by Kenny Baker). Luke is shocked when he finally realizes that this small, elderly creature is the powerful Jedi Master he was seeking. Finding that Luke has the same anger and recklessness which caused his father’s downfall, Yoda is reluctant to teach him in the ways of the Force, and agrees only at Obi-Wan’s behest. Before finishing his training, however, Luke chooses to leave Dagobah in order to confront Darth Vader and save his friends from the Empire’s grasp at Bespin.
