“	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, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.	”
–Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Yoda was a Jedi Master who spent 800 years of his life training prospective Jedi Knights in the ways of the Force, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. Yoda spent his final years in hiding from the Galactic Empire.
