Exclusive: Kanata and Yoda – A Star Wars Love Story

LONDON, UK — With the news of Frank Oz’s appearance on the set of Star Wars Episode VIII, fans are wondering what could possibly be going on. Is Yoda returning? Is he consulting on other puppetry things? Or could he be bringing a brand new character to life?

It turns out Oz is voicing and puppeteering Yoda in scenes for Episode VIII. That’s right, our little green friend will be returning to the main saga but not how you think. An insider who works inside of Pinewood Studios London, who we will call “Oswald Franklin,” overheard director Rian Johnson talking with Oz and had this to share with us.

Yoda will be in a flashback scene that orange ET [Maz Kanata] shares with that cute Jedi girl [Rey]. Apparently orange ET and Yoda used to be an item back in the “Old Republican” days. She tells Jedi girl this because she develops feeling for both Flynn [Finn] and Cameron [Poe Dameron].

These scenes could reveal the truth behind Yoda’s path to becoming a Jedi master, after his tearful romantic tryst with Maz Kanata came to an end. Kanata’s discontent rested in the fact that Yoda just couldn’t awaken his Force enough for Maz’s galactically-legendary watering hole. We assume Maz has some sagely wisdom not only in the Force but also in the romance department.

Following Marvel Studio’s success in “One-Shots,” plans are in the works for a live-action short film about the pair’s unlikely love drama. In a Star Wars first, the film will feature the series’ first ever puppet-to-puppet French kiss, along with a host of other salacious bonus content only available on the Episode VIII Blu-ray release.
