Yoda is an ancient Jedi Master. He is nearly a thousand years old, and he is very wise in the ways of the Force. He once spent a hundred years in meditation to learn its secrets. He is always patient and kind, and was once entrusted to train all of the youngest Jedi knights. He is also a very fierce fighter who is capable of amazing acrobatics, in spite of his small and frail appearance. As he likes to say, “size matters not” to the Jedi.
