Frank Oz to Voice Yoda?

From Dagobah, he is from and to future installment, he will feature in. For a short green alien whose hundreds of years old he will be seen a lot with the continuance of the cinematic Star Wars universe. The franchise has its newest director, but who will play the wisest Jedi of all.

If it’s not broken, why fix it? So, why not the original voice actor, Frank Oz? Having played the role for five out of six of these blockbusters, Oz is willing to provide the voice. “He’s in my heart,” said Oz. “I know Yoda very deeply.”

These possibilities where opened up with the announcement that there will be spin-off movies, this is according to Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger. There are a variety of characters which this can possibly work for. Maybe for example, an R2D2/ C3PO animation feature from the studio that created “Wall-E.” But, there are also rumors for a young Han Solo or Boba Fett spectacle. The fan-favorite Yoda is a possibility, especially given the supreme recognition he has in spite of being a non-human character.

Though Oz is completely interested in becoming Yoda for future installments, he might have competition in his “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” cartoon counterpart of Tom Kane.

Fans would love to have his voice back, but the heyday of his puppetry will be over with the shift in new technology. “The future of Yoda is likely in CGI, as he was rendered in ‘Attack of the Clones’ and ‘Revenge of the Sith,’” says Oz. This is especially true given the fight with Count Dooku and the Emperor. “I think it depends on the story, but I think at this point you can’t go back to the puppet. The reason George [Lucas] did the CGI, which I supported, was that he wanted to tell a story that would have been hampered by the physical limitations of the puppet.”

This seventh Star Wars will be directed by J.J. Abrams and is promising a 2015 return.

At the very least Yoda’s force ghost should feature in ep-7.

And yes, Frank Oz should voice him, its painful to hear other impressions of Yoda. (though the one in clone wars is great but for that version.

Funny how Oz said he knows him deeply. Its true as he’s literally been as deep into yoda as anyone could wish to get. ;-)

Also, the statement above about why GL chose cgi is only partially true. On the making of Attack of the clones, a group of cgi modellers had to persuade GL to CG him, and it wasnt an easy choice.

As long as they can make the CGI Yoda look photo real like the puppet in Empire. I would think JJ would be a geek for the puppet Yoda though. All Yoda needs to do in the next three movies it sit or stand as a talking ghost. No need for CGI Yoda in the new movies really.
