Yoda first appeared in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 as the Jedi Master who trains Luke Skywalker on Dagobah. Voiced by Frank Oz, the character became famous for his inverted syntax and calm teachings about the Force. Clips of his voice have circulated for years in meme edits and reaction videos, where his serious tone is applied to trivial situations for comic contrast. The contrast between ancient wisdom and everyday problems keeps the sound popular with Star Wars fans.
