The reveal coming at the end of the premiere indicates it will be a big part of the first season storyline and viewers are likely to learn more with each new episode. Whether this is Yoda's child or another Force-sensitive member of his species, The Mandalorian is poised to reveal much more about this mysterious creature.

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper. Cute baby, this one is. Disney What is he exactly? Where is he from? Are there more of them? Is he even a he? What's his name? What are his powers? So he's in danger then? What else? He eats soup , and maybe frogs. He's excellent at hide-and-seek.
He's as inquisitive as any baby, playing with a metal shift knob from Mando's ship even when told not to. The character is mostly a puppet, but sometimes some CGI is used. Yoda insisted on training young Leia, but Obi-Wan insisted on Luke. Due to his years alone, Yoda was feeling his age and isolation. He also harbored regrets about having not taken Anakin Skywalker's daughter as his apprentice.
However, he was not confident that he had enough time left to teach another pupil. After Obi-Wan Kenobi was killed, he reached out to Yoda from the netherworld of the Force and requested that Skywalker's child be trained. The Jedi Master readily agreed until he found out that Kenobi was actually speaking of Anakin's unfocused son instead. Nevertheless, Yoda begrudgingly allowed Kenobi to direct the boy to him. Luke Skywalker, under guidance from the spirit of Kenobi who had served as his mentor, [74] sought Yoda in his Dagobah exile to receive Jedi training [7] three years later.
At the same time, Yoda, stirred awake by the feeling of the Dark Side and the memories of his trauma years ago, went to his storage area to find it empty.
In an effort to find food, he made the arduous trek across the wild terrain of Dagobah. Eventually, Yoda made it to a valley, full of colorful creatures, and another species in particular.
Herds of these creatures ran through this valley, the best source of meat Yoda had yet been able to find. Years ago, Yoda had decided to give up his lightsaber, promising to never wield one again, taking a bow instead.
To get what he came for, Yoda readied his bow and took aim of one of the creatures, easily killing it with one shot of the bow. On his journey back, Yoda began to feel the ground shift beneath his feet, beginning to crumble as Yoda began to fall. At the last moment, Yoda grabbed onto the side, reflecting on the similarities of this moment to his duel with Darth Sidious many years ago.
Yoda's grip failed and he falls onto the ground below as boulders began to pile on top of him. Yoda fell unconscious. Yoda began to dream, the dream of pain, suffering, anger, hate, and suddenly, he awoke once again. Realizing the predicament he was in, Yoda began to laugh, laughing at his foolishness for allowing him to get into this situation. He began to doubt himself, thinking of how he was now trapped on Dagobah, but subsiding those feelings, knowing he is one of the last of the Jedi.
He reached out to the Force and, in that moment, he realized why he had failed in the past. His shame, his hubris, his blindness, they had all clouded his vision and realized his failings as a Jedi. However, he knew that failure was the greatest lesson a Jedi could learn, and understanding this brought him peace.
With this newfound peace, Yoda was given the power to move the boulders resting on top of him. With a newfound sense of responsibility and understanding, Yoda began his journey home. Arriving back at his home, Yoda began to cook a stew, when he began to hear a crashing in the trees surrounding his hut.
A visitor had arrived. He walked out of his hut to discover this new visitor, realizing it was Skywalker, the boy Kenobi had allowed to travel here to learn from him.
As he stares at Skywalker from the trees, he came to the realization that he would not be the last Jedi, but only the instrument as to train the future. Walking out, he decided to test the boy and did not reveal his true identity, instead promising to lead him to Yoda; Skywalker's subsequent frustration and his age made the Jedi doubtful as to whether it was a good idea to train the boy, but Kenobi's spirit managed to convince him to do so.
Yoda proceeded to tutor Skywalker with a variety of exercises, including the telekinetic manipulation of objects in the area. As part of his training, he also sent Skywalker into a nearby cave, which was powerful with the dark side in order to demonstrate the dangers of falling to the dark side of the Force. During his tenure with Yoda, Skywalker sensed that his friends were in danger in Cloud City on the gas giant Bespin, and headed there to confront Darth Vader in spite of Yoda's and Kenobi's persuasion to the contrary.
Although Kenobi was distraught by Skywalker's rushed departure, Yoda reminded him that there was still another offspring of Anakin Skywalker [7] —Leia Organa. Skywalker, having engaged in a duel with Vader on Cloud City, returned to Dagobah after a year. Yoda, [76] ill and very close to death, [5] confirmed what Vader had revealed to the young Jedi on Bespin: that the Sith Lord indeed was Anakin Skywalker, his father.
He also warned him that with his training fully complete, his final task would be confronting Vader again and defeating him, and cautioned Skywalker not to underestimate the Force powers of Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious. Yoda also said that when he dies, Luke will become the last of the Jedi.
Therefore, he wanted Luke to pass on what he had learned. Finally, he also managed to inform him of the existence of another member of the Skywalker family. Yoda then died, and his body disappeared as he became one with the Force.
Thanks to the techniques passed on to him by Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, [5] Yoda managed to retain his consciousness without a physical presence by becoming a Force spirit. Somehow, Yoda managed to teach Anakin the ability of retaining his consciousness after death. As the rebels and Luke celebrated on the surface of the moon due to the demolition of Death Star and the deaths of Sidious and Vader, the ghosts of Anakin, Kenobi, and Yoda briefly appeared to Luke.
Approximately five years after Yoda's passing, [80] the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin took a member of Yoda's species, Grogu , to train under Ahsoka Tano on the planet of Corvus. While with Djarin, Tano explained that she had only met one other member of Grogu's species: Master Yoda. Tano refused to train the Child but told Djarin that Grogu could reach out to other Jedi at the seeing stone on the planet of Tython.
Sometime later, and after Rey had visited Luke on his hermit-island on Ahch-To , a disillusioned and self-loathing Skywalker tried to burn down what few Jedi artifacts and writings were left in hopes that it would rid the galaxy of the Jedi once and for all, who, through him, had failed. Luke was surprised by the sudden appearance of Master Yoda as a Force spirit, who not only didn't seem to mind the ancient scripts burning up, but was the one to actually start the fire by causing lightning to strike the tree.
In fact, unbeknownst to Luke, Rey had already taken the Sacred Jedi texts when she left. During their meeting, Yoda pointed out that mistakes and failure were important lessons, if not the most important lesson, for a Jedi Master. Ultimately, Yoda helped Skywalker come to terms with his failed training of Ben Solo , and to realize that despite his fear of failing another student he could still be what Rey needed. Inspiring Luke to face his past and forgive himself. This final, heartfelt meeting between the two friends led Luke to change his mind and help save the Resistance from certain defeat during the Battle of Crait.
Known for his wisdom, Yoda had spent eight centuries training and tutoring generations of Jedi. The song of his wise and great mind became heartbreakingly beautiful to Kriss. Despite his appearance not making it seem like it would be so, his voice appeared to be made up of pure light, so Kriss considered him the epitome that people were not simply the crude matter of their bodies, [22] a lesson that Yoda would later pass on to Luke Skywalker.
In both cases, however, he allowed Obi-Wan Kenobi to persuade him into accepting them as trainees. There was a small garden in the Jedi Temple where Yoda often took to meditating, with the other Jedi usually respecting the privacy of such moments. Indeed, Yoda's favorite place to be was his own thoughts, being able to meditate and feel the calm Living Force flow throughout him. Yoda's favorite method of teaching was to ensure his students could figure things out for themselves. Even if all Yoda did was wait for the student to catch up to speed, he found that they almost always realized what they needed.
When Master Mace Windu questioned whether Yoda had sensed something or not, he waited until the younger Jedi realized he was sensing nothing. Windu remained confused, forcing him to explain that the feeling of nothing needed to be caused by something. He disagreed with Windu's sentiment that "nothing" and "something" were always opposites, and he made sure to never be fully sure of himself, knowing there was more to learn.
Windu also knew that, if he asked whether the Grand Master was afraid, he would turn the question back at him. During the Invasion of Naboo, Yoda believed himself comfortably away from the dark side, unware of the growing power of Darth Sidious, with the exception of what he knew he could not feel. Wise yet old, Yoda spent his final years on Dagobah, training Luke Skywalker and coming to terms with his own mortality. As he neared his death before the Battle of Endor commenced, Yoda accepted his own mortality and imminent demise and died becoming one with the Force.
Yoda also had a sense of humor and curiosity, despite his age and wisdom. As such, he took teasing his fellow council member, once asking if he had arrived for a private discussion because he had embarrassing questions, which Windu denied instantly. Afterward, he elected to wait to speak, wanting Windu to begin the discussion and viewing it as him cracking as if he was under pressure. Windu also found Yoda's behaviors distracting, yet he would always trust the older Jedi's judgement.
How embarrassing. How embarrassing! Despite his intensive Jedi training and high status within the Order, he stated that he secretly had a dislike for ancient Jedi texts. Yoda was highly secretive about his homeworld and never revealed it to anyone. Despite his small size and old age, Yoda was an extremely accomplished lightsaber duelist, wielding a short green-bladed lightsaber.
Yoda was extremely skilled in blast-deflection and proved more than capable of taking on multiple enemies at the same time and winning easily: he was able to single-handedly defeat without getting even a single shot to his person an entire army of droids that Ventress sent as a test for King Katunko whether to accept the Jedi or the Separatists as an ally. When he fought Dooku, Yoda maintained the upper hand through the duel, forcing Dooku into the defensive, and would have defeated him had he not decided to flee.
His duel with Sidious, although initially well-matched, eventually began to turn into Yoda's favor, forcing Sidious to use the Force to confront him. Even despite his small size and old age, Yoda was extremely powerful and accomplished in the Force.
Yoda was extremely skilled in telekinesis and all forms of it. When facing Dooku on the planet Geonosis, Yoda demonstrated his superior telekinetic mastery by effortlessly repelling every metal piece and stone slab thrown by the also very skilled Sith Lord.
He was even able to blast Darth Sidious himself through the air with a Force Push and was able to stop and redirect a Senate hoverpod Sidious had thrown at him when they fought in the Senate building.
During a confrontation with Confederate forces on the coral moon of Rugosa, Yoda effortlessly pulled 2 droids to slash them with his lightsaber, flung multiple pieces of the droid controlling one of the infantry high into the air and both opened the upper parts of another infantry tank and send it and the droid controlling it into the air.
After the droids were dealt with, Yoda easily overpowered the powerful Sith Assassin Asajj Ventress with telekinesis, stopping her lightsaber strike mid-way and disarming her with a simple gesture, and repulsed the many stones caused by Ventress activating an explosion.
Jedi Padawan Bell Zettifar pondered whether Yoda—after putting great focus into the effort—could use the Force to stop gravity.
His ability to use the combative applications of the Force notwithstanding, Yoda's incredibly strong connection to the Force combined with his years of extensive study also granted him numerous supplementary abilities. During the trial of Quinlan Vos , Yoda revealed that he could uncover the alignment of a Force-user just by touching them—stating that the Force had permitted him to read the history of a soul, able to easily sense that he had fallen to the Dark Side despite Vos being proficient enough to hide it from many other Jedi.
Additionally, Yoda was able to use Force healing , even to the extent of healing himself and those around him while in battle with just a wave of his hand.
Yoda was also shown to be capable of experiencing Force visions. However, he understood that Force prophecy was not absolute and that the future was always in motion. As a Force spirit, Yoda was evidently capable of either manipulating weather to create lightning strikes, or summoning such strikes himself. He was also shown to be capable of striking Luke Skywalker with his walking stick, demonstrating an ability to interact with the living world in a physical sense despite both Yoda and the stick being ostensibly non-corporeal.
Yoda was also shown to have a level of proficiency in piloting despite often leaving it to his soldiers, as when he was forced to travel alone by Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda displayed the ability to pilot Anakin's personal interceptor comfortably and was able to avoid inflicting any damage on it until he returned to the Jedi. During the Clone Wars, Yoda proved himself to be an exceptional strategist and leader, being a highly effective general.
His abilities in those regard were displayed during a confrontation with Confederate forces on the coral moon of Rugosa: Yoda was able to inspire hope into his troopers despite the overwhelming odds and was able to easily tactically defeat the army of droids, exploiting the weak-points of the infantry tanks to systematically destroy them and at one point tricking one of the droids controlling the tanks into destroying the other tank.
Throughout the Republic Era, Yoda wielded his own lightsaber. He is also known for using a cane. It began as a lesson, but really more of a joke, for his Padawans; he would limp into a room with the cane, then he would cast it aside and quickly use his speed in the Force, only to finally grab the cane once more and hobble away. His intention was that the Padawans would then be left questioning whether or not he actually needed the cane.
Nevertheless, as he grew older during his exile on Dagobah, he found he truly had come to need it. Early concept art by Joe Johnston.
He was also featured in all three episodes of the prequel trilogy, and multiple episodes of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated television series. Yoda also played a role in various Expanded Universe material now under the Star Wars Legends brand and thus non-canonical. Once Yoda's appearance was finalized, make-up and creatures supervisor Stuart Freeborn created a detailed puppet, brought to life on screen by Frank Oz.
A new model, younger in appearance, was built by Nick Dudman 's animatronics crew for the filming of Episode I, in which Yoda also appeared as a CGI model for two shots' duration. In Episode II, Yoda's character was realized entirely through computer-generated imagery, partly due to the practical necessity imposed by the action scenes of Yoda's duel with Dooku, and partly due to the determination of Animation Director Rob Coleman. Designed specifically to not exceed Oz's puppetwork in realism, the animated version of Yoda was accepted after several shots from Empire Strikes Back were recreated using the new technology as animation tests and evaluated.
During the film's early development, Yoda was originally going to have a bigger role, a decision that went far enough to ask Frank Oz to record some lines as Yoda, although these recordings went unused when the character was cut from the film.
It's not only a puppet, it's an exact replica of the Empire puppet. They found the original molds for it. They found the woman that painted the original eyes for Yoda. Then Frank came and worked with them for a few weeks to get the puppet right. He did a lot of testing and a lot of adjusting with the puppet creators. It was amazing to watch the process. The number of toes on Yoda's feet has long been debated. In Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know , Yoda is given as having three toes at the front of each of his feet, and one at the back, comparing them with that of many birds.
On October 29, , for a Halloween-themed update, a costume of Yoda was added to The Sims 4 for playable child Sims to wear in-game. The costume is purely cosmetic and offers no gameplay changes. Wookieepedia Explore. Star Wars. Clone Wars Droids Ewoks. Administrators' noticeboard IRC Discord.
