Yoda’s first appearance in the “Star Wars” franchise came in 1980 in “The Empire Strikes Back.” The character was voiced by Frank Oz, who also provided it for “Return of the Jedi,” the prequel trilogy and “The Last Jedi.” He and other actors have also voiced Yoda in various related “Star Wars” projects over the years.

Yoda has a very unique way of speaking that has become iconic to the character. George Lucas has now revealed why he made Yoda speak in such a way.
