For the month of Christmas, and also to celebrate the release of Star Wars 7, the hero of this month is one of the most powerful, wise and respected of the whole Jedi order: Master Yoda.
(Yoda):"Approve this, I do."
(Me):"Yeah, thank you Master."
Yoda is a Jedi highly respected and also really powerful, so strong that he got his place to the council, and during the Clone Wars, he became a general, also very respected by his troops. Yoda is the older Jedi of all the order, he trained Jedi since over 800 years.Of the six films (soon seven), Yoda appears in 5 of them. It's in the episode 2 that for the first time, we finally see Yoda out his lightsaber and fight in duel against his former Padawan and now Sith Lord, Count Dooku. Yoda is one of the few Jedi to survive to the order 66 and finds refuge on the planet Dagobah, a giant and slimy swamp. But over the years of loneliness, Yoda has become a bit less serious and more joker, but when Luke Skywalker tells him its true purpose, Yoda shows that it has always remained the same and decides to teach him the way of the Jedi. But in episode 6, Yoda is so old that got sick and lost all his strength. And that's after revealing the true origins to Luke, the most powerful Jedi, lying in his bed, gently close his eyes. Yoda dies without suffering, and a few seconds later, his body disappears to merge with the Force. But anyway, Yoda is not really dead, as his mind becomes one with the Force, allowing it to live forever, as a spectrum, like Obi Wan, and later, Anakin Skywalker.
When we see Yoda for the first time, we can say that he is not dangerous, but it's just the opposite! This is the worst mistake to make: to underestimate Yoda. Despite its small size and advanced age, Yoda is a very agile warrior, powerful and truly formidable. He uses besides its small size to better dodge the blows of his enemies while jumping in the air with his lightsaber with really fast acrobatics. Yoda is even the only Jedi enough powerful to challenge Darth Sidious and have a chance to defeat him. If Sidious is the embodiment of evil in SW, Yoda represents the light and wisdom that fight the darkness.
Yoda has a very deep connection with the Force, so strong that over the years he seems to have acquired powers that only he possesses. For example, Yoda is able to see the future, but an uncertain way, because always in motion is the future. Yoda uses the Force as he wants, almost as a weapon (for example, in episode 3, he manages to knock out two guards of Sidious with a simple backhand, to send them against the wall)
Yoda is also the only one able to absorb the Force lightning with his hands, and even send them back at his enemies.
For me, Yoda is the perfect definition of "Don't be fooled by appearances."
To become a symbol of Star Wars, and one of the world's greatest sages and warriors, Yoda deserves his place in the list of the iconic heroes.
See you in 2016 for the next edition!

A good choice, this is. Happy I am. A wise and powerful Jedi, he is.
