"Do, or do not. There is no try."
- Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

​The diminutive Yoda made his theatrical debut in 1980 as Luke Skywalker's eccentric tutor in the ways of the Jedi Knights.

He returned to the big screen in the 1990s during the theatrical re-release of the original Star Wars trilogy, and again in 1999 with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Since then, he's been a part of numerous movies and television cartoons.

The names of Yoda's species and his home planet are unknown, but he is said to have trained Jedi for over 800 years - and to have lived for more than 900 years.

At least one other member of this species played a role in the Star Wars saga, a female named Yaddle who also sat on the Jedi Council.

Yoda's wisdom has been much lauded, both onscreen and off. For example, during the early 2000s, a poster was sold entitled "Everything I Needed to Know About Life I Learned from Yoda," which listed his quotations to date.
