There are many problems Star Wars Over the years, fans have asked. Sooner or later, one of them is: “Why did Yoda speak like this?”
Since his debut The Empire Counterattacks, The old Jedi master said backwards, “How are you?” because anyone else is doing “How are you?” to him George Lucas was asked about Yoda during the recent anniversary screening empireand his answer? “I had to figure out a way to get people to really listen, especially for 12-year-olds.”
He went on to explain that since Yoda was Luke’s philosopher, his way of speaking had to feel meaning. “If you could speak regular English, people wouldn’t listen as much.” “But if he had an accent, or had a hard time understanding what he was saying, they would focus on what he meant.”
This is a very interesting answer, and it is certainly a valid option. How many of us have the impression of Yoda that has reduced his voice and mannerisms? Now, if we know whether this way of speaking is specifically directed to all species in Yoda, no matter what it is called, their ranks include Yaddle (RIP) and Grogu, or how he learned to speak. If it is the former, there is another question to ask: What will Grog look like when he inevitably speaks?
