Few Jedi in the Star Wars saga can rival the wisdom or the power of Master Yoda. First introduced in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, this small green guru became the mentor who would take Luke Skywalker from a fledgling Jedi initiate to the self-assured Jedi Knight he had become by the time of Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. The prequel trilogy delved further into Yoda’s prominence within the Jedi Order, making him the Order’s Grand Master and having him serve as the series’ ultimate authority on the Force. Even Disney’s sequel trilogy brought back Yoda to deliver a final lesson to Luke Skywalker.In many ways, when Yoda was created for The Empire Strikes Back, he was a risky character to introduce to the Star Wars saga. Many of the movie’s most meaningful moments, dealing with contemplations on the nature of the Force and good and evil, relied on Yoda. To hand such weighty material to a puppet and to pin much of the film’s success on the audience being able to accept that puppet as a living, thinking, feeling character was a gamble that had not been attempted before. For Star Wars creator George Lucas, however, it was a necessary risk. When one major change was made to the first Star Wars film during production, Lucas found himself in need of a new kind of Jedi Master. Thus, Yoda was created as a late addition to Lucas’ Star Wars story.Yoda’s introduction to the Star Wars saga in The Empire Strikes Back owes much to the origins of George Lucas’ space opera and the many changes Star Wars underwent on its journey from script to screen. Lucas’ early drafts of Star Wars were infamously far too long and far too ambitious to be realized in a single movie. As a result, Lucas decided to split Star Wars into three movies, rewriting the first act of his initial screenplay into the first feature-length installment of this planned trilogy. In order to make what was once just a first act work as an entire movie, Lucas had to change a few things and move some scenes around.Star Wars: Yaddle Held the Secrets to a ‘Forbidden’ Jedi Technique
