In Star Wars, why did Yoda act like a weirdo when he first met Luke? Yoda wanted to test Luke's patience. Yoda knew who Luke was, and he knew his potential as well. He had to be sure, before training him, that he possessed the patience and discipline of a true Jedi.
An in-universe reason for choosing Dagobah is the planet's connection to the dark side. Force-sensitive beings can feel each other's presence through the Force. Since Yoda's is such a light in the darkness, he neesd to hide in the darkest of places. Dagobah contains a dark side nexus.
Thus, Yoda's bizarre way of speaking was designed to highlight what he was saying. Yet it was also designed to make sure that viewers weren't stuck reading subtitles the whole time. That way, Yoda could sound like an alien while still technically speaking English.
Yoda Made an Attempt to Repair Broken Relationships
While this brought peace to his people, it was an uneasy one. More so, Yoda felt like he failed, as he never wanted a young Bree to become a killer, thinking he taught him better.
*189 of the world's languages do not have a dominant word order (source). Yoda typically speaks in the OSV order, which is only found in 0.3% of languages. “Powerful (object) you (subject) have become (verb). The dark side (O) I (S) sense (V) in you.”
Over the years, Anakin came to highly respect Yoda, while Yoda gradually outgrew his fear of Anakin and came to have faith in him and correctly came to believe that Anakin was the Chosen One from the Jedi prophecy.
Why doesn't Yoda go and fight Vader? Because there were bigger threats. Yoda knew that Sidious was extremely powerful and that Obi-Wan would not be able to fight him. He sent Obi-Wan to Mustafar to defeat Vader instead, as Yoda hoped Vader could be defeated and killed.
Most viewers have forgotten that Palpatine seems to have been afraid of Yoda in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - and even tried to flee from their duel.
This question boggles the mind is Yoda a weakling not to be bothered. Palpatine was more focused on building the Galactic Empire. While his apprentice was wasting precious time and resources by hunting down an already defeated enemy.
But the creature originally wasn't supposed to have his unique speech pattern. In an interview (via The Guardian), Oz revealed there was a bit of odd syntax with Yoda's speech, but he went to Star Wars creator George Lucas and asked to do the entire character that way. "It just felt so right,” Oz said.
Some decided that this is just the way his species speaks (a species that is still draped in mystery), but now fans know it's not that simple. In the latest issue of his ongoing comic, Yoda proves that he can speak 'normally', but actively chooses to speak in his now-iconic fashion.
Mostly, because he was testing Luke. Once he reveals himself he drops the act and becomes a lot more normal. Also, consider that Yoda was living alone on Dagobah for 22 years. That kind of isolation will make anyone a little squirrely, even a Jedi master.
Social media quickly named him Baby Yoda, but Pascal recently revealed that people who work on the show are instructed to avoid using the nickname at any cost. Unfortunately for him, he only did so after slipping up and using the forbidden moniker during a high-profile interview.
Yoda's age at death, a hasty 900 years old, reveals the absurd constancy of his species. This fantastic life span sheds ablaze on the mysteries of the Star Wars universe. His continued activity accustomed him to coach endless Jedi, including the allegorical Luke Skywalker.
Yoda's dark visions, including one with Anakin Skywalker, exposed his guilt over indoctrinating young Jedi and playing with their lives as toys, ultimately leading to the rise of the Sith.
Star Wars Explained - A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away... Why didn't Yoda train Anakin Skywalker if he really thought that he was "the chosen one"? Yoda didn't want Anakin trained. He considered him to be dangerous, full of fear which could potentially be catastrophic.
And he's already murdered Mace Windu at Palpatine's behest, more or less by stabbing the Jedi in the back. The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred, and pain, fueling his descent even further into the Dark Side.
Yoda didn't want Anakin trained. He considered him to be dangerous, full of fear which could potentially be catastrophic. As it was. The Council refused for Anakin to be trained but the situation has changed after Qui-Gon died.
