STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Nearly Featured a Yoda Cameo

It’s not a secret that Star Wars: The Force Awakens was rewritten several times, but it was a secret until now that Yoda almost made an appearance in this particular episode.

His absence from the story was obvious, but still, many were expecting to see the great Jedi Master in one form or another. Now The Force Awakens editors, Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey, confirmed to ET that Yoda nearly made a cameo in the sequel.

They point out that:

"There was one point where we were actually thinking of having Yoda in the film, and then we decided not to. Frank Oz came in for a day and did a whole bunch of Yoda and he was over the moon to do it -- and we were tickled pink!"

Unfortunately they didn’t reveal what exactly Oz did on set.

Still, do you think the appearance of Yoda in Star Wars: The Force Awakens would have been a nice touch or was just hearing his voice enough?
