Yoda is a fictional character in the ''Star Wars'' space opera franchise created by George Lucas, first appearing in the 1980 film ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In the original films, he trains Luke Skywalker to fight against the evil Galactic Empire. In the prequel films, he serves as the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and as a high-ranking general of Clone Troopers in the Clone Wars. ==Voice and animation== Frank Oz provided Yoda's voice in each film and used his skills as a puppeteer in the original trilogy and ''Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace''. For Episodes V and I, in some walking scenes, dwarf actors Deep Roy and Warwick Davis incarnated Yoda as well, though were uncredited. While Frank Oz served as the primary performer, he was assisted by a multitude of other puppeteers, including: Kathryn Mullen (''Ep. V''), Mike Quinn (''Ep. VI''), David Barclay (''Ep. V-VI''), Don Austen (''Ep. I''), David Greenaway (''Ep. I & VI''), Wendy Froud (''Ep. V''), and Kathy Smee (''Ep. I''). For the radio dramatizations of ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi'', Yoda was voiced by John Lithgow, while Tom Kane voiced him in the ''Clone Wars'' animated series, several video games, and the series ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars''. The make-up artist Stuart Freeborn based Yoda's face on his own face and partly on Albert Einstein's.〔("Stuart Freeborn, Yoda's maker, dies" ). The Guardian.

Retrieved February 7, 2013〕 In ''The Phantom Menace'', he was redesigned to look younger. He was computer-generated for two distant shots, but remained mostly a puppet. The puppet was re-designed by Nick Dudman from Stuart Freeborn's original design. Rendered with computer animation in ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'' and ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'', Yoda appeared in ways not previously possible, including his participation in elaborate fight scenes. In ''Revenge of the Sith'', his face appears in several big close-ups, demanding highly detailed CGI work. His performance was deliberately designed to be consistent with the limitations of the puppet version, with some "mistakes" made such as the occasional ear-jiggling. Rob Coleman was responsible for the character's new incarnation to the series. Yoda was recreated in CGI for the 2011 Blu-ray release of ''The Phantom Menace.'' A clip of the new CG Yoda from ''The Phantom Menace'' was first seen in the featurette ''The Chosen One'', included in the 2005 DVD release of ''Revenge of the Sith''. The 2012 theatrical 3D release of ''The Phantom Menace'' also features the CG version of Yoda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yoda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
