Ah, Matt....ya want to field this one?
Well, yoda was a Jedi and was introduced in the second of all 6 SW movies, The Empire Strikes Back. He had a lot to do with Luke Skywalker's Jedi training. But when viewers first saw him, all you saw was a slimey, little green guy. I remember thinking, oh I don't like this character. Chewy I liked - the big tall carpet wearing creature, Hans Solo's sidekick. Chewy never spoke, just growled and grunted. LOL But you quickly loved yoda. And I mean - loved! That little green guy wormed his way into my heart. So powerful, yet so small, so wise, yet so old! Centuries!
When I introduced the SW's movies to Laura, she quickly wanted to know who yoda was. I said, ah, he's ~very~ important to the story! Pay attention. He quickly became her favorite and I didn't see it coming. Thank goodness her favorite wasn't Darth Vader - OMG, couldn't have stood for that! LOL
I told Laura to pay attention to how yoda spoke. Matt can take it from there. We often slip into yoda-lingo around here. And Jim rolls his eyes. Yes I turned my kid into a SW fan!!! I'll admit it.....
