SAMPLE TEXT
"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."
Yoda
"Always pass on what you have learned."
Yoda
While every main character in the Star Wars universe has a detailed origin story, only Yoda - and Grogu's* - is unknown. Creator George Lucas has never revealed the species and home planet of Yoda in an attempt to keep the character a mystery.
