The Last Jedi’s Force Ghost Yoda Changed Star Wars Canon – & Set Up A Massive Twist

Some of Rian Johnson’s decisions in Star Wars: The Last Jedi may have divided Star Wars viewers, but the return of Yoda was welcomed by almost everyone. For the first time since The Phantom Menace, Frank Oz returned as puppeteer for the wise Jedi Master. Of course, Yoda’s CGI replacement in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith was necessary given the amount of stunts the character performed—which wouldn’t have been feasible for puppet Yoda to pull off. Yet having the puppet return in The Last Jedi rather than a CGI Yoda was a nostalgic throwback to Frank’s work on the original trilogy.
