The character of the film "Star Wars" by Yoda. Phrases, quotations

In 1977, the world became acquainted with the truly great creation of George Lucas called "Star Wars." Yoda appeared on the screen three years later, in the second part of the trilogy and has since become one of the most legendary and recognizable characters of all time. It is unlikely that in the modern world there will be at least one person who has never heard of the great Jedi Master, and all sorts of paraphernalia with his image, as well as a great many toys, have been on sale for more than thirty years.

Characteristics of the character

A characteristic feature of the character is the green color of his body and very small growth - only 66 centimeters. However, in terms of his mental and physical abilities of all the characters in the movie "Star Wars", Master Yoda is the most outstanding and many times superior to many others. The make-up artist owes his appearance to the make-up artists Nick Dudmend and Stuart Friborg. Due to his longevity, accumulated experience and wisdom, Yoda is headed by the most ancient order - the Jedi Council. For the first time he became his member at about the age of a hundred. In his record, many victories in serious battles, battles, wars, and other achievements.

It is known that he was an excellent teacher, perfectly combining austerity and gentleness, but not all his padawans were able to become worthy people. Such a fate befell Count Dooku, as well as Anakin Skywalker, whom Yoda admitted to training, but personally did not coach. However, there are some worthy representatives among them, such as Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu and Luke Skywalker. As George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars saga, confessed, Yoda was specially presented to the public in such a way that no one would know about its true origin, therefore its history is still covered with various secrets.

Speech

Undoubtedly, the main difference of this character from others lies in his manner of speech, which was reflected in the numerous jokes and witticisms of the fans. To all other things, most of the most famous phrases in the film belong to his authorship. Quotes Yoda from the "Star Wars" partly became winged. One of the most famous is the following: "Size is not important. What about me? By the size you judge? "Almost all of them are imbued with a subtle philosophy reflecting the worldview of the teacher. As, for example: "The creation of light is us, not just matter." It is the inversions, that is, the mixed order of the sentence members, that make his words so memorable. Nevertheless, other characters perfectly understand and taste these great words. By the way, as for the languages of the saga, then, apart from individual racial, as, for example, the Ewoks, there is also a basic galactic, on which all the heroes speak. In fact, it is some kind of analogue of English in our world.

"Hidden threat"

In the trilogy Star Wars, launched in 1999, Yoda was created entirely from computer graphics, which divided the fans into two camps: adherents of the old and the new. Acquaintance with the character takes place during the meeting of the Council. In this film, it becomes clear which Master has the unquestionable influence on the decisions of the Jedi order. When the young Anakin comes to the elders under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinnin, the request for his further training in power management is rejected precisely on the initiative of Yoda, who feels that the future of the racer from Tatooine is vague. However, after Qui-Gon's death, Obi-Wan takes responsibility for raising the boy and declares to the members of the Council about his firm intention to take him to his Padawans. Thus, Skywalker manages to pass the titles of jungling and immediately become a Padawan. And this time Yoda is no longer able to refuse Kenobi, but, as is known, later the subtle flair will fail the master.

"Attack of the Clones"

In the second part of the movie "Star Wars", Master Yoda goes to Genosis, where the Confederacy of Independent Systems dominates. There, he, on behalf of the Republic, heads a rescue mission to rescue the convicts to be executed Padmé, Eni and Kenobi. Here, the audience will find out that once upon a time the Master trained Count Dooku, who now turned to the dark side. When the fire of battle grows, the former student and teacher enter into a duel. Yoda demonstrates the highest professionalism of possession of the light sword, deftly moves away from blows and skillfully applies his own. However, the battle ends with Dooku trying to escape, and in the next part he is killed by Anakin.

"Revenge of the Sith"

In the 2005 film, which concludes the new trilogy "Star Wars", Yoda is one of the central characters, and he is given quite a lot of screen time. This time he has to make complex elections concerning the future of the Galaxy and the fate of its individual representatives. His main mistake is the confidence in Anakin, who has already made the final step towards evil. However, the master failed to feel the evil, which resulted in a great tragedy. Yoda sends to the planet Kashyyyk, where it appears in the very epicenter of the clone battle and the Wookiees with the separatists. At the decisive moment the stormtroopers turn away from the Republic and start killing their own people. At this very time from the Palpatine order number 66, ordering to kill all to the last Jedi. The master on a thin energy level feels the death of each of the students, which turns into unbearable pain for him. He rides back to Coruscant and tells Obi-Wan to end everything by killing Skywalker.

"The Empire Strikes Back"

It's about the second part of the saga, as the first film of the old trilogy became the only one where Yoda does not appear. "Star Wars" (a photo from the film is presented below) was filmed in 1977, so the creation of the picture was hampered by the lack of necessary technology. Because of the impossibility of large-scale use of computer graphics, Yoda appeared before pupils in puppet variation. Someone from the fans prefers just such an old and slightly insane version of the character. It is known that he did not leave the neglected planet Dagob for 22 years, as a result of which he moved a little intellectually. When Luke Skywalker arrives to him, it becomes clear that the Master retained his former wisdom and skills, and only his behavior and way of life suffered. At first the teacher is not inclined to take the heir to the greatest villain as Padawan, because he feels fear in him, as in his father, but he nevertheless undertakes to train the youth. However, Luke soon decides to leave Yoda to help his friends, and promises to return and finish his studies.

"New Hope"

In the last episode of the space epic "Star Wars", Yoda teacher meets his student Skywalker for the last time. As promised, Luke returns to Dagobah, but the master is in poor health this time. The reason for this is the elderly and great age of the master, at that time he had already passed for 900 years. He tells the Jedi that training is no longer necessary, and now it remains only to meet with the father face to face, and he himself must go to a well-deserved rest. Before his death, Yoda reports that Leia is sister to Luke, and in it also flows the Force. After this conversation, he falls asleep forever, but later appears in the guise of a ghost along with Obi-Wan. There is a version that Qui-Gon comprehended the secrets of immortality and passed his experience to a former teacher, as a result of which viewers and saw the astral projection of the great Jedi.

Frank Oz

All the phrases of Yoda from "Star Wars" were voiced by actor Frank Oz. He was born in the family of members of the puppet theater troupe, so it's no wonder that in the future he decided to devote himself to voice-over. Since childhood, he has been characterized by a beautiful manner of restructuring speech. His voice captivated the creator of the show about the Muppets, as a result of which Oz was invited to work on television. Over the long years of his career, he voiced hundreds of characters, a good number of which account for exactly the "Muppet Show" and "Street Sesame." In the 1980s, he was invited to voice Yoda, which he can not refuse. In addition to all parts of the Star Wars, he participated in some films as an actor in the background, and also voiced the characters of such cartoons as "Monsters' Corporation" and "Puzzle." He has now returned to Yoda in the animated series about the rebels, which has been on air since 2014. And this is despite the old age! Frank Ozu turns 72 in 2016, and he continues to work actively, like his screen prototype, who devoted his entire life to one cause.
