Frank Oz to Return as Yoda on Star Wars Rebels
----------------------------------------------
Actor and Muppeteer Frank Oz is beloved by Star Wars
fans as the voice of wizened Jedi master Yoda in
five of the six films, and though the character was
portrayed by Tom Kane in "The Clone Wars" animated
series, TV Guide reports that "Star Wars Rebels" is
going back to the source by having Oz return in
upcoming episode "Path of the Jedi".

The centuries-old icon, still in exile on Dagobah,
will offer advice to Jedi knight Kanan and his new
padawan learner Ezra on the remote planet of Lothal
in the form of a disembodied voice.

"I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied
thing it would confuse the audience less," says
executive producer Dave Filoni, who also directed
the installment. "I didn't want you to think Yoda
could be teleporting from planet to planet. What's
great about Frank, by keeping the voice very present
and active, you do feel that it's a watchfulness and
that he's speaking to you from afar. And I didn't
want anyone to think that he had left Dagobah. It
was on the outer rim of what we do, but I think we
were able to pull it off."

Although there is no confirmation one way or another
that Yoda will return as a force ghost for J.J.
Abrams' forthcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens",
in a September episode of "The Talkhouse" podcast,
"Star Wars: Episode VIII" director Rian Johnson was
expressly asked by director Terry Gilliam to bring
Oz back. Johnson¹s reply? "You kidding? How could
you not. How could you not!"

"Path of the Jedi" will air Monday, January 5 at
9/8 CT on Disney XD, and will be available on the
Watch Disney XD app beginning Monday, December 29.
