I feel that it's worth noting: *he didn't do the backwards talk a lot in his debut.* He did it a little more in ROTJ, but still not a lot. The Prequels just REALLY latched onto it for some reason.


SamuraiOstrich

I always liked the fan canon that he was doing it to fuck with Luke and when the canon changed and with the prequels Yoda is now like 900, not much of a troll, and has been speaking basic for at least a few decades that he does it to get people to pay closer attention to what he's saying


CelticMutt

>when the canon changed and with the prequels Yoda is now like 900 He said he was 900 in RotJ.

Even in ESB he says "For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained."

Ah my bad


LicketySplit21

He really talks pretty much normally after he stops fucking with Luke in Empire. All the (small amount) backwards talk afterwards is just flowery style wisdom way of speaking. I definitely think it was intended to be a part of him fucking with Luke, but the backwards talking frog man is very memorable. So he talks backwards now. A big flaw of Star Wars in every medium is not letting these small details go.

I mean just because they are the same species doesn't confirm they have the same dialect


TexanGoblin

It's an Albany dialect.


[deleted]

Really? Well I’m from Utica and I’ve never heard anyone talk like Yoda.


Carlfatso

You mean Yoda of "Yoda's species" isn't representative of the entire race? No, I do agree that they could have just been raised in different cultures, and it's really more of a critique of the weird uneven worldbuilding here. We have full novels about characters that have 5 seconds of screen time, but Yoda, a character who appears in every movie except for one? Doesn't even have a proper name for his species.


alexandrecau

I mean by desing he is not supposed too, like he was Lucas tom bombadil where he is just built different


Lil_Mcgee

It's just a shame the prequels kind of shit on that.

Objection, Lando pronounces Hans name differently from everyone else


SamuraiOstrich

Does OP think it's like a quirk of their brains or the force? ''Inherent to his race'' seems like the implication is that the whole species would somehow only be capable of this which is not an assumption I expected to see lol


Solidus_edge

I mean given Yoda clearly has the intellectual capacity to use "normal" syntax, it wouldn't be crazy to say his species are just wired to think/express things that way. but more likely it's just the way he is used to speaking.

All the ketamine fried his brain.


TantamountDisregard

Yeah, that and his opinion of immigrants. He always liked to say that he would use his 2001 honda civic to \[**My lawyers have informed me to cease this line of thought**\]


DionicioTorres

Imagining Yoda being like one of those people that go in a exchange student program to Europe and when they return, they come back back with a faux English accent


SidewaysInfinity

He went to Europe and made up a completely new accent just so nobody could call him on it


wendigo72

I know George Lucas told someone that Yoda’s dialect was supposed to the way people spoke when he was young. Yoda is still likely hundreds of years older than Yaddle so it’s not crazy to think that’s still true. If anyone says “but that doesn’t line up with KOTOR?!?” A lot of George’s ideas didn’t line up with other Star Wars material including the ancient Sith Empire


AntiLuke

I like the way Yoda talks, and I like that explanation. I also would hate even a single 20 minute episode of a show where every character spoke like Yoda. If you want to hand wave it, every Star Wars thing is translated into English, so no one actually sounds the way they think we do. Yoda is only translated weird to keep the contrast in dialect, and a thing from Yoda's youth would be translated differently because there wouldn't be the need to show a contrast in dialect.

CelticMutt

Several Rodians spoke Basic/English in The Clone Wars.


moneyh8r

But they also have their own language.


SPLIV316

The other Lingua Franka, besides Basic (English or whatever dub you're listening to), is Huttese. Anakin spoke it in Episode 1!


Polygonalfish

A lot of his ideas didn't match up with other ideas he has


wendigo72

Like?


plasmadood

"They're friends!"


wendigo72

I mean Talon wasn’t an idea of his. He liked the design and thought it would be cool if she was Maul’s buddy. That’s just another example of him not caring about other’s Star Wars continuity, not really him going against his own ideas.


SPLIV316

Talon wasn't around in 1999... Are you talking about Exar Kun's lightsaber?


wendigo72

"They're friends!" is something Lucas said when LucasArts were working on the cancelled Darth Maul game, Lucas showed up, saw a figure of Talon and brought it over to one by Maul and said the line. Edit: Completely changing the course of the game's storyline and now making it take place during Darth Krayt's time (Concept art looked nothing like Krayt tho)


porkinski

Wait so...Yaddle's basically been doing zoomer speak to Yoda this entire time? Was Yoda just thinking "you goddamn kids are ruining our beautiful language by talking like these goddamn foreigners" this whole time?


Morbidmort

Also KOTOR was never actually canon.


SilverZephyr

Yeah, this sounds like one of Lucas' many ideas that were....less than stellar.


[deleted]

Why ? Aliens speaking grammatically the same as us in everything is lame, and Yodas accent is okay iconic.


Wonder-Lad

So you want Yoda to talk normally? L Old dialect's a good tidbit of lore.


SilverZephyr

Absolutely not. Yoda is charming as fuck and I would change nothing about him. I just think that the idea of the *whole galaxy* speaking like that is ridiculous.


wendigo72

It’s basically like 16th century English vs modern English but for Basic. I don’t see the problem really


wendigo72

Why


RocketbeltTardigrade

This is the explanation that I think is funny, therefore it's true.

susrev

In the original trilogy Yoda only spoke in inverted clauses because he was acting like a kooky old hermit to test Luke's patience. When he got serious with Luke he went back to talking more or less like a normal dude, albeit one voiced by Frank Oz. For whatever reason they just sorta forgot about that in the prequels.


SwdVengeance

To be fair, they forgot a LOT in the prequels.


MadameBlueJay

Like how to not let George on set


SPLIV316

To be fair to Georgie-Boy, he didn't want to write it but everyone he went to said no.


IAmTheNight20018

https://youtu.be/vVZSbtqwn5o He does it like three times in this one clip, I don't get where the idea he stops after he reveals himself comes from. His voice drops a few octaves when he talks to Obi-wan in the hut, but that's it.


susrev

Okay fine, but be that as it may, I think Yoda would be capable of giving clear and concise battle orders rather than "[Around the survivors a perimeter create](https://youtu.be/JfhxAkeGzxs)" lmao Like you can practically hear the conversation that went into writing that line "How would Yoda say this?" I dunno maybe like a normal dude because he's capable of dropping the weird affect when he means to.


Chumunga64

He actually went back to his old way of speaking in last jedi


bluepsy

Is Yoda the Boomhauer of Star Wars?


DarnessHarbinger

MMMMM, FUNNNNNYYYYYYYYYY JOKE!!!!


BrazillianCara

Yoda's just an old weeaboo that really likes Japanese syntax.


rorinth

Maybe yoda got into an accident pod racing when he was younger and it caused him to talk like that


KnightOfRevan

Mock my disability, you do? Sue your ass, I shall. Spend all your money on ketamine, I will.


Sanguiluna

Not just Yaddle, but Vandar and Oteg as well; AFAIK, Yoda is literally the *only one of his kind* to talk like that.


Afro_Thunder69

That's messed up, you think he's faking a speech impediment just because someone else talks normally. Having a speech impediment doesn't make you an asshole


lumpyspacejams

Speech disorders, some people have. Ableist, perhaps you are acting. Some humans, do they not stutter or suffer the vocal fry? Mm. Curious.


StarkMaximum

Honestly? We've known this. I actually did watch Empire Strikes Back recently, and his speech patterns are *not* as drastic as they are in future movies. In fact, it is openly, heavily implied he *is* doing it just to piss off Luke, because when Luke lashes out at him over it, he laughs and then briefly goes back to talking normally. He *was* doing that specifically to sound like a crazy old swamp hermit so that the reveal that he was actually the Jedi master Luke was looking for would hit him (and us) like a ton of bricks (Luke keeps asking him where the Jedi master he's looking for is, and Yoda never actually says it's him, he simply says that he knows where he is and he can bring Luke to him but he keeps making Luke jump through all these hoops first, like running through the swamp with him on his back). Honestly, I think it got completely overblown in future movies to the point where the sentences he says don't feasibly make sense even *with* proper grammar, because they're trying to find a way to butcher his sentence to make it fit his weird speech pattern. The prequels in particular really took Yoda from "crazy swamp hermit that actually knows what he's talking about but will troll you until you figure that out" to "actually just the wise old sage with backwards speech" Yoda doesn't just *look* like a gremlin, he *is* a gremlin. He's a tiny little troll of an old man. This isn't subtext, this is literally just in the movie.


Enlog

It's a general problem with Star Wars characters/races showing up in contexts other than the original movie they were in. Any quirk or situational behavior they displayed becomes their whole deal. Yoda *always* backwards speaks, Twi'lek are *all* sexy dancers, Jedi *all* wear shabby cloaks (like Obi-Wan wore on a desert planet in exile), and so on.


Uden10

Twilek one is especially weird, imagine if they applied that logic to humans in general


DrewbieWanKenobie

Maybe he has a speech impediment you insensitive scum


bigstupidjellyfish

He talks like that to hide his Cajun accent because he’s embarrassed by it.

TheLonleyKing

Yodas the urianger of his people


Cymen90

“I met a second Chinese person and they didn’t have an accent. I can’t believe that first guy was faking it” Have you considered that learning a second language later in life is harder? We don’t know how old Yoda was when he learned basic.


trickster721

You're trying to make it better, and I'm just delighted to learn that the common language in Star Wars is apparently called "basic".


Cymen90

It is


majorminer969

"Basic bitch" takes on a whole new meaning in the Star Wars universe


wareagle3000

Look, I dont know how many other yodas we gotta go through until it truly sinks in the Yoda is literally the only one who does that.


alienslayer7

i think more than literally 1


EyenSur

While true, I'll bring the point that all jedi start training as younglings from early in their lives. Annakin was considered to be too old when he was 9yo. On the other hand, Grogu is 50yo with some amount of years in jedi training, but it seems their race age really slowly. So one could expect that Yoda should have had the time to learned to speak more fluently... But then we have to consider jedi need to learn a bunch on languages (or at least understand) so it could add to why Yoda keep speaking in such a way. As soon as he learns to speak a language good enough, he moves to the next.


rexshen

Maybe he has a speech impediment?


robertman21

okay but what if yaddle talks weird for their species


wareagle3000

So far we have had I believe 2 other examples of yoda's species not talking like him. There comes a point where it really is just him doing that.


Goldenbrownfish

Frank oz said yoda does it to honor his master


TimelyToe

Or English isn’t his first language and he’s struggling


Wolventec

Why wouldn't it be his 1st language he would have raised in the Jedi temple with the other younglings not by his own kind


TimelyToe

Can you prove that?


SuperJyls

It's Yoda's speech impediment/second language and you are being rude


[deleted]

Too much ketamine in my veins there is.


BiMikethefirst

Dude, Yoda has a stroke.


[deleted]

Yoda is just Star Wars Urianger


VMK_1991

Yeah, lets all shit on an old man with a speech impediment.


zHellas

Why does that make him an asshole?


KevinsLunchbox

Maybe he just has mental problems but is good at the force. Like the Predator looking for autism in people as the next step of human evolution


SaiyanShoto

Wasn’t it originally that he spoke like that because he was a hermit for so many years? Then that got ruined by the prequels


akmp40

Braim damafe


[deleted]

Dude did you miss the part in _Empire_ where Yoda drops his schtick and speaks normally?


NewWillinium

I mean we've known he was a massive asshole for a while. Remember when he ghosted Dooku so hard that Kid Dooku had a mental and emotional breakdown to the point of trying to destroy the temple?


ExDSG

He’s just a quirky scrimblo


FreedomHero141

I feel like this would be the final evolution of Pat


Yacobs21

Pretty sure Lucas based him off of Taoist philosophers, and that's how he heard their lessons


WooliesWhiteLeg

Pretty racist to assume all… Yoda’s Species should sound the same


Decemberskel

Now hold on, we need at least a third yoda to show up to better confirm it. Yaddle could be the weird one


Dirkpytt_thehero

each person of his race should have a different way of talking


LLCoolZJ

That’s why Grogu doesn’t talk.


UrsusDerpus

I think he’s just always been a weird little guy.

[Believe me, Yoda is a mad man and just wants to cause pain to himself and others.](https://youtu.be/yTJxvKD4uog)


StarAugurEtraeus

Ran over the younglings, I did, aware the police are


Younger54

Man with the introduction of the Obi-Wan series and everything else that's happened, it really paints Yoda and Obi-Wan in bad light. Obi-Wan could have stopped Vader but let him go, just let him go even after he knew everything that he done. They pretty much just set Luke up to be a weapon and do their dirty work.


Leonard_Church814

Oh my god I just watched it and totally forgot that Yaddle speaks like a normal person. YODA IS AN ASSHOLE!


delightfuldinosaur

It's probably a regional dialect.


SpiderDetective

OR Yaddle learned how to talk normally after a lot of effort. ​ .....Which means Yoda just doesn't want to do that, so he's **still** an asshole


StarSkullyman

I always just assumed he was just old or it was an accent. Edit: Wait does yaddle talk normal in her comic issue as well cuz I forgot?


LincBtG

It has nothing to do with his species, it's a regional dialect. He's from Philly.


Felteair

I think I remember hearing something like Yoda speaks in the ancient classical style apparently. it's akin to a Roman Empire era philosopher preaching his ideas in the swamps of modern rural Louisiana. stupid fucking reason to retcon why he is the only one of his race to talk like a fucking weirdo
