50 Of The Best Yoda Quotes That Still Stick With Us
When The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980, it introduced one of the most beloved characters of the Star Wars universe who became an evergreen part of pop culture. Yoda, a Jedi master living on the planet Dagobah, reluctantly accepts Luke Skywalker as his trainee and teaches him how to master the Force.
Since then, Yoda has become synonymous with the Star Wars franchise just like the lightsaber. The prequel trilogies gave him more screen time and lines, and fans got a chance to soak in Yoda's wisdom. I have collected Yoda's 50 best quotes that you can apply to your life as well.
