Yoda’s name
Well, the ancient Jedi master’s full name is actually Minch Yoda, but it was not always like that, Yoda has had a lot of changes made before the character took to the screen. Originally, the little green master was supposed to be called ‘Buffy’ but it did not sound exotic or alien enough for George Lucas.
So after thinking about it for some time, they came up with the name Yoda as it sounded like something from the far east. The character is actually some weird combination of Albert Einstein and the Dalai Lama. They wanted to make the ultimate spiritual and wise figure by mixing the two famous men in real life.
