Memorable Star Wars Yoda Quotes and Stories

“There Is No Try.”

One of the most famous Yoda quotes…

Famous Yoda quotes

Yoda, that lovable little guy whose strength flows from the Force and not his biceps, spent all his time trying to keep Luke and the other Skywalkers away from the dark side, and what a job it was…

Of all the characters from George Lucas’s Star Wars movies, Yoda stands out as the most memorable fictional character, and his wisdom has forever become a part of our culture. It is power of Yoda’s words from which the jedi’s strength flows.

Back in the years of my youth (I was still a child when “Star Wars” sci fi classic movie was first brought to the bigscreen) I remember something you may think strangely unbelievable… but it’s true.

You see, we were living in the communist regime at that time. Go figure out yourself, American movies were really rare… especially the new ones.

But somehow, “Star Wars” managed to pass the censorship, come to my cinema downtown, and find me.  I was thrilled to find the path to the dark seat in the theater!

As I said, I was just a kid; and of course, eager to go watch it on panoramic screen.

WOW! It changed my life! It was like having my own battle ship!

Interesting thing was that tickets were limited and as such, the black market was flourishing.  I had to buy mine at triple the normal price.  However, I was an ‘early-bird’ as in fact, other kids that arrived later had to pay even five times the regular access fee.

Can you imagine that?

It was a another step down the path that forever dominates my thoughts…superb science fiction. Old obi-wan kenobi would surely approve.

This, my dear reader, IS passion!

How do I know that?

LOL

Because it happened again, later on, when “The Empire Strikes Back” came to town… it was exactly the same thing. Only this time I was not a kid anymore — I was a teenager.

Man, I don’t regret it… I LOVE Sci-Fi!
(science fiction on bread, that is what I eat… sci fi movies, sci fi novels – all the candies…)

Now, I think you may remember YODA, right?

Here’s a famous line of this character’s:

[Luke can't levitate his X-Wing out of the bog]

Luke: “I can’t. It’s too big.”
Yoda: “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm?.. Hmm. And well you should not! For my ally is the Force…”

Luke Skywalker and Yoda — Star Wars:
Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Yoda teaches young Luke here that size DOES NOT matter but other things (in his case, Force) is what you need.

Now, there are a lot more that quickly come to my mind…and some of these are as good as the great himalayan masters!

“Death is a natural part of life.  Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.  Mourn them do not. Miss them do not.  Attachment leads to jealously.  The shadow of greed, that is.”

“May the Force be with you!”

“Grave danger you are in. Impatient you are.”

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

These are fantastic quotations you can live by, and create your own destiny, to think of what he said, and then use your own mind to build your future, and join the other luminous minds and evolved beings.

Who ever said sci fi was fiction? The lessons given by Yoda, and his discussion of the force that surrounds us and binds us, is so close to our reality here, that perhaps we need only to feel the force everywhere around you, and learn to master it! You can become an apprentice with the wisdom of Yoda!

Here are 7 of the most well known famous Jedi quotes from Star Wars:

Yoda to Luke:

“Ready are you?  What know you of ready?  For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi.  My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained.  A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.  This one a long time have I watched.  All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon.  Never his mind on where he was.  Hmm?  What he was doing.  Hmph!  Adventure.  Heh..  Excitement.  Heh..  A Jedi craves not these things.  You are reckless..”
