Here is an old interview with George Lucas where he talks about the origin of Yoda and why he created him.

Imagine playing your role so well that the director says we need to kill you off

[Claire-tkdo]

He really said I had to kill the character because he was just too awesome, we couldn't handle him

[BitigoBlack]

May the answers to Yoda's background remain unanswered.

Edit: to all 13k of you....I also hope for brighter days in Star Wars. ✌️❤

Something i always admired about George was that no matter how huge he became after Star Wars, he always remained humble and honest about where his ideas came from, how certain things wouldn't work as he wanted and that he sometimes did things because they needed to be done for the story back then but he did have a HUGE grand plan for absolutely everything, except the basic story lore for the main characters of course. This man even questioned the success of his movie when it suddenly became a hit and he was like "ah who knows. Maybe it's just a success today but next week not anymore.".

It was really vital to the plot that Luke’s mentor was physically on his back as he ran around the jungle.

[JonnyLin]

Basically:
1. Creates Obi-Wan as a wise mentor and teacher for Luke
2. Kills off Obi-Wan because he was too cool of a character
3. Realizes Luke still needs a mentor and teacher, so he brings him back as a ghost.
4. Realizes Luke's mentor still needs to be able to physically interact with him for certain things, so creates another mentor, but makes him green and small.

I love how George openly admits that he just never bothered to make up any information about yoda because he didn’t care and it didn’t matter. When the creator of the lore and character says this how do you even argue with him? It’s wonderful and I love it!

It’s amazing how the most iconic figures and memories from our childhood comes from inside this man’s mind ..

[Erebos]

I like how he openly admits that he sees characters and interaction as mostly a means to an end. That's how the dialogue reads.

[JohnDonovanDotBiz]

Grogu doesn’t appreciate being generic.

Somehow there's probably gonna be a season of Mando where they figure out his species

[dpprofessor]

"He needed a physical body to do things"
Until the sequels let force ghosts call down lighting and carry lightsabers.

[BlueGoblin]

Guys, you have to understand how rare this is for George. He wrote pages and pages of backstory for everything. He has documents on Darth Vader's armor alone. So yeah this is a interesting fact.

Funny how life repeats itself. Ben is too noble so he is killed off. Qui-Gon is too noble so he is killed off 😂

[jassijoanna]

I love that he’s honest about just not coming up with anything, but actually it fits so well for someone like Yoda to be a mystery character. It just adds to the magic of an ancient wise being if nobody even knows what he is and where he came from.

The 30seconds during which Yoda pulls the X-Wing out of water is peak Star Wars out of all movies. Music Picture and morality all come together so perfectly during those 30 seconds, it’s beautiful and really moving.

"He was too noble...so I had to kill him off"😂😂

[SimplyEasyCo]

I love that he talks about star wars as if he is just listening and relaying what the universe tells him, not as if he is creating the universe. His creativity is unmatched.

That's what makes the Star Wars community so great, 22 years of George Lucas leaving the franchise alone. The fans came together and helped expand the universe for him with books, TV Shows, action figures and video games.
There is no greater community than the Star Wars community that continously takes care and Shows more passion in their franchise even with it's ups and downs.
Celebrating 50 years of Star Wars in 2027, let's continue it for another 50 years and beyond for our children and children's children.
