A to Z Challenge: Yoda

 Yoda first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back as the cute old green Muppet who talks backwards and teaches Luke about the Force.  Then he had a small part in the next movie before disappearing after his death.  He appeared afterwards as a Force ghost with Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Then the prequel trilogy made him a part of the Jedi Council along with Mace Windu and others.  The first prequel movie he looked kind of weird in CGI.  In the second movie he actually has a lightsaber and fights Count Dooku.  Then in the third movie he fights Trade Federation droids on Kashyyk before fighting the Emperor and going into exile.

He frequently showed up on the Clone Wars series; the first episode actually features him and some clone troopers.

He also appeared in The Last Jedi as a Force ghost who helps Luke stop being such a dumbass. 

And of course there have been figures made of him, including one where he's partially translucent like a ghost.  The latest one is a 40th anniversary one.  As I've said before, I'm not keen on paying full price for half-sized figures, so I haven't bought one.  The snake on him looks weird too.  For whatever reason they don't seem to have a prequel one yet.


In the end I'm not sure if there will be more figures of Yoda or "Baby Yoda."

kinda funny that the 40th anniversary ESB one comes with a lightsaber since he didn't use that during the film, but who lets details stand in the way of an action figure lol.
