Warning: There are huge spoilers ahead for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" introduces a few new faces and loveable additions in Porgs and crystal foxes, but it's the unexpected return of one big legacy character who has fans talking.
This is your last chance to head back before spoilers.
Early on in the film, Luke Skywalker tells Rey that the Force is a balance between everything. It doesn't only belong to the Jedi. He says the Jedi were a bit hypocritical — something his father, Anakin, preached back in "Episode III." Luke notes that it was people on the light side of the Force who gave birth to Darth Vader and people on the light side of the Force who enabled Darth Sidious to also rise to power.
Luke eventually decides that the Jedi Order is no longer necessary, and decides to renounce it by burning a giant Force tree that's located on the island of Ahch-To.
When Luke gets close to the tree though, he's hesitant about burning down the tree which holds the original texts of the Jedi Order.
All of a sudden, Master Jedi Yoda appears as a Force Ghost and causes the tree to light aflame.
He tells Luke that it's time for him to look past the text of the Jedi Order. Luke tries to argue and tell him he has read all of the texts, but Yoda says he knows those books weren't page-turners, and that you can't learn everything you need to know from a book.
Yoda tells Luke that failure is the greatest teacher, and the two sit and watch the tree burn down.
Although Yoda's return to "Star Wars" was a bit of a surprise, the green guy also appeared in "The Force Awakens," but you may not have realized it. Yoda's voice can be heard several times in Rey's flashback. You can see a full breakdown of her vision here.
