VIDEO : Frank Oz Talks Yoda's Return in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'

Director and puppeteer of legendary 'Star Wars' Jedi master Yoda, Frank Oz, recently discussed the character's surprise return in 'The Last Jedi'. While talking with IGN, Oz explained, "Several years ago I had lunch with Rian Johnson, and he asked if I could do Yoda in the next Star Wars, and I said ?Sure,? because I thought it was just CGI." Since Yoda's reveal was going to be a major surprise in the movie, Oz had to keep his role a secret which he says was difficult. Oz goes to to say however, that he had a cover story to hide his appearances at rehearsals and even let Disney keep his name out of the movie credits and posters building up to the film's release.
