Description
Yoda is a character in the Star Wars universe, first appearing in the 1980 film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. In the original films, he trains Luke Skywalker to fight against the evil Galactic Empire. Frank Oz provided Yoda’s voice in each film and used his skills as a puppeteer in the original trilogy. The make-up artist Stuart Freeborn based Yoda’s face on his own face and partly on Albert Einstein’s. Grand Jedi Master Yoda is the most 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 makes a brief appearance in Return of the Jedi, set a year after The Empire Strikes Back. Yoda, now sick and frail, informs Luke that he has completed his training but will not be a Jedi until he confronts Darth Vader; he also confirms that Vader is Luke’s father, which Darth Vader had told a shocked Luke in the previous film. Yoda then peacefully dies at the age of 900, his body disappearing as he becomes “one with the Force”. He leaves Luke with the knowledge that “there is another Sky…walk…….”. Moments later, Obi-Wan’s ghost helps Luke come to the realization that the “other” whom Yoda spoke of is Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), who is his twin sister. In the film’s final scene, after the Empire has been defeated, Luke sees Yoda’s spirit looking upon him with pride, alongside Obi-Wan and the redeemed Anakin Skywalker (Vader’s former Jedi self). Poster has pinholes from being previously hung. Small tear along one of the folds.
