The Grand Master of theJedi Council, Yoda has trained Jedi for over 800 years. He is wise and powerful in the ways of the Force, though his small size causes many to underestimate him. Yoda prefers meditation and reflection, spending much time pondering the mysteries of the Force. In his long lifetime, he has witnessed the decay of theGalactic Republic, and saw the Jedi Order transform from peacekeepers to battlefield commanders in the Clone Wars. When he must, Yoda wields hislightsaber and becomes a whirling warrior of great speed and agility. A stern instructor, Yoda nonetheless has a mischievous sense of humor. With the rise of theGalactic Empire, Yoda fled into exile and awaited the arrival of a new Jedi student to rekindle a new hope in the galaxy.

Luke Skywalker voyaged to Dagobah, spurred by a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The ghostly Kenobi urged Luke to visit the Jedi Master who had instructed him. On the murky world of Dagobah, Luke was surprised to find a tiny, elfin creature -- he was expecting a great warrior. In time, he came to learn not to judge Yoda by his appearance.

Like all Jedi of the final decades of the Galactic Republic, Obi-Wan studied under Yoda at a young age. Yoda teaches classes of unapprenticed younglings the basics in the Force. Yoda and Obi-Wan came to respect each other, and were close allies during the rise of the Empire.

Long before he left the Jedi Order out of disillusionment, Count Dooku studied the Force under Master Yoda. Yoda called the fallen Jedi his old Padawan. The two crossed lightsabers at Geonosis, during the first battle of the Clone Wars.

As the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious is a sworn enemy of Yoda. As Sidious plotted to take over the galaxy, he knew that he would one day have to eliminate Yoda. Shortly after Sidious declared himself Galactic Emperor, he battled Yoda in a destructive duel in the heart of the Galactic Senate chambers.

Yoda was one of several Jedi Masters concerned about Anakin Skywalker's emotional attachments. To help teach Anakin how to let go of someone he loved, Yoda assigned Anakin a Padawan learner, Ahsoka Tano. He watched the growth of their relationship with great interest.
