Character
Yoda
Star Wars·Jedi·fictional character in the Star Wars universe
Yoda was one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi Masters in galactic history, serving as Grand Master of the Jedi Order and a member of the Jedi High Council. A being of a small, unnamed species, he was celebrated across generations for his profound mastery of the Force and his skill in lightsaber combat.
During the Clone Wars, Yoda held the rank of general in the Grand Army of the Republic and helped lead the Jedi through the conflict against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He trained countless younglings and counseled the Order through the final years of the Republic.
Following the execution of Order 66 and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Yoda went into exile on the swamp world of Dagobah, where he later instructed Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force. In death he became one with the Force, continuing to guide the Jedi who came after him.
