根據牛津在線詞典， Yoda一詞常被用來指稱能體現尤達特徵的人，特別是指有智慧的老人、聖人或大師。尤達是電影《星球大戰》中充滿傳奇色彩的絕地武士，身材矮小卻聰明有力。據稱，他的名字來自梵語詞yoddha，意為“戰士”；另一說是來自希伯來語中的yodea，意為“知道的人”。還有另一個說法是，尤達來自於瑜伽(Yoga)一詞。 |

Concept and creation
Frank Oz provided Yoda's voice in each film and used his skills as a
puppeteer in the
original trilogy and
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. For some walking scenes in Episodes V and I, dwarf actors
Deep Roy and
Warwick Davis appeared in costume as Yoda (though neither was credited). While Frank Oz served as the primary performer, he was assisted by a multitude of other puppeteers, including:
[5] Kathryn Mullen (
Ep. V),
Wendy Froud (
Ep. V),
David Barclay (
Ep. V-
VI),
Mike Quinn (
Ep. VI),
David Greenaway (
Ep. I &
VI),
Don Austen (
Ep. I), and Kathy Smee (
Ep. I). For the
radio dramatizations of
The Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi, Yoda was voiced by
John Lithgow, while
Tom Kane voiced him in the
Clone Wars animated series, several
video games, and the series
Star Wars: The Clone Wars. George Lucas had originally conceived of Yoda's full name as being "
Minch Yoda" before shortening it.

The make-up artist
Stuart Freeborn based Yoda's face partly on his own and partly on
Albert Einstein's.
[7][8][9][10] In
The Phantom Menace, he was redesigned to look younger. He was
computer-generated for two distant shots, but remained mostly a puppet.
[11] The puppet was re-designed by Nick Dudman from Stuart Freeborn's original design.
Yoda was recreated in
CGI for the 2011
Blu-ray release of
The Phantom Menace.[12] A clip of the new CG Yoda from
The Phantom Menace was first seen in the featurette
The Chosen One, included in the 2005
DVD release of
Revenge of the Sith.
[13] The 2012 theatrical
3D release of
The Phantom Menace also features the CG version of Yoda.
