The "Starwell War" is one of the most released, realized worlds in the whole fiction, the one with a huge orbus and a tactile sense of tradition and culture. There are hundreds of planets and peoples, every with a huge sense of history that the franchise (for the most part) does not rely on or feel the need to stand and explain. Why is it a crucifixion is the only city? Whoever cares, it looks like Rad. Why can the Master Rwoh use his lights as a whip? It doesn't matter, shut up. And in terms of the larger mysteries, there are also The mysterious Bendu of "Rebels of" Starwell War ", Like the gods of Mortis, which are covered by intrigue and have no specific details.

Then, here's Joda, it's probably the most troubled single, astonishing to be in the "Starwells War" galaxy. He is a fascinating character: one of only three well -known members of his species, he is incredibly old, and speaks backwards for no visible reason. Although Joda has been explored through countless books and comics over the years, relatively little is known about him, with Lucas himself choosing to keep the background of the character as a mystery, and everyone who follows his place did the same.

But George Lucas has just revealed a great aspect of Joda's character. During the display of the 45th anniversary of the "Empire Strikes Back" 2025 TCM Classic Film FestivalThe manufacturer talked about his career in film work, his collaboration and friendship with Francis Ford Coppola, and even answered a question about "Starwalks War". Specifically, Lucas revealed why, exactly, Yoda talks so weird.

"Because if you speak English regularly, people will not hear so much," Lucas said Nehantally. "But if he had an accent, or it is really difficult to understand what he is talking about, they focus on what he is saying."

"He was basically the philosopher of the film," Lucas continued. "I had to figure out a way to make people listen to 12-year-olds."

Lucas made the right decision, because Joda is the highlight of wisdom EDI in the films "War of Starwives". He is not the first Edice we met; Obi-Van Kenobi was not the greatest teacher, nor the wisest friend. After all, he lies on Luke for Luke's father, and then loses his unique fight in the first film (surely, he wanted to learn Luke a lesson or whatever, but the point stands), and he never mentioned microscopic, intelligent life forms called Midi-Chlorians!

But that's not Joda. The moment we meet him, he seems to be more than a chaotic Moupet Gremin than a wise edge, but he emits a few deep words of wisdom through the "Empire Strike Back". Obi-Van really didn't have to teach Luke properly, just placing it with a floating metal ball that shot the poor child in the butt. Yoda, on the other hand, causes Luke physically as well as spiritually, Putting his 800 years of experience as EDI to act with the condensation of decades of EDI who have been teaching in an extremely short training period. But it would not just be enough to sit down and read Edice's history and philosophy. No, sir. Instead, Joda pulls Mr Miyagi and mixes her teachings in Muppet Shenanigans, tormenting Luke to learn without understanding it. That's another reason why talking back is so important to the character: distracting the audience (and Luke) with a strange, while eventually shows how wise the character is.
