50 Best Frank Oz Quotes

Qui: I don't presume...
Yoda: But you do! Revealed, your opinion is.

Yoda: The council is confident in its decision, Obi-Wan.
Mace: The boy has exceptional skills.
Obi: But he still has much to learn, Master. His abilities have made him... well arrogant.
Yoda: Yes. Yes. A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are. Even the older, more experienced ones.

Yoda: [to Luke] How do you get so big eating food of this kind?

Yoda: [Yoda is training children to be Jedi at the Jedi Temple. Obi-Wan comes in and explains he's looking for a planet] Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try.
Obi: [Pointing to a spot in the star hologram] This is where it ought to be, but it isn't. Gravity is pulling all the stars in this area inward to this spot. There should be a star here, but there isn't.
Yoda: Most interesting. Gravity's silhouette remains, but the star and all its planets have disappeared. How can this be?
J.K. Burtola: [One of the children raises his hand] Because someone erased it from the archive memory.
Jedi: [All of the children] That's right! Yes! That's what happened! Someone erased it!
Mari: If the planet blew up, the gravity would go away.
Yoda: Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is. Uncluttered. To the center of the pull of gravity go, and find your planet you will.
Obi: But Master Yoda, who could have erased information from the archives? That's impossible, isn't it?
Yoda: [Frowning] Much harder to answer, that question is.

Yoda: Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.
Mace: But which was destroyed, the master or the apprentice?

[Using the Force, Yoda effortlessly frees the X-Wing from the bog]
Luke: I don't, I don't believe it.
Yoda: That is why you fail.

[Luke can't levitate his X-Wing out of the bog]
Luke: I can't. It's too big.
Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

Yoda: Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph! Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!

Yoda: Why wish you become Jedi?
Luke: Well, mostly because of my father, I guess.
Yoda: Ahh... father. Powerful Jedi was he. Powerful Jedi.
Luke: [suspicious] Oh, come on! How can you know my father? You don't even know who I am. Oh, I don't even know what I'm doing here! We're wasting our time!
Yoda: [Looking away from Luke] I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
Obi: [voice-over] He will learn patience.
Yoda: Much anger in him... like his father.
Obi: [voice] Was I any different when you taught me?

Luke: I won't fail you. I'm not afraid.
Yoda: You will be. You... will... be.

[Luke's ship sinks into the mud]
Luke: We'll never get it out now!
Yoda: So certain are you. Always with you what cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?

Yoda: Changed, something has.
Kanan: I've taken on an apprentice.
Yoda: An apprentice? And now Master, are you?... Of this decision, honest you must be.
Kanan: ...It's true. I'm not sure of my decision to train Ezra. Not because of him or his abilities... because of me, because of who I am.

Yoda: A dangerous time this is for your apprentice... for you.
Kanan: I know. I can sense it. I feel as if his abilities are growing faster than I can teach him.
Yoda: You sense... or you feel?
Kanan: I lost my way for a long time. But now, I have a chance to change things.
Yoda: LAST chance.
Kanan: I won't let him lose his way, not like I did!

Yoda: Allow this appointment lightly the Council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.
Anakin: I understand.
Mace: You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
Anakin: What? How can you do this? This is outrageous; it's unfair. How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?
Mace: Take a seat, young Skywalker.
Anakin: [bows] Forgive me, Master.

Yoda: How feel you?
Anakin: Cold, sir.
Yoda: Afraid are you?
Anakin: No, sir.
Yoda: See through you we can.
Mace: Be mindful of your feelings.
Ki: Your thoughts dwell on your mother.
Anakin: I miss her.
Yoda: Afraid to lose her I think, hmm?
Anakin: What has that got to do with anything?
Yoda: Everything! Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

Yoda: Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Luke: Vader... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, NEVER for attack.
Luke: But tell my why I can't...
Yoda: No, no! There is no "why".

Yoda: Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is... another... Sky... walker.
[Yoda dies]

Yoda: That face you make... look I so old to young eyes?
Luke: No. Of course not.
Yoda: I do. Yes, I do. Sick have I become, old and weak... When nine hundred years old *you* reach, look as good *you* will not, hmm?

Palpatine: Master Yoda. Do you really think it will come to war?
Yoda: The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.

Yoda: Master Qui-Gon. More to say have you?
Qui: With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.
Yoda: A vergence, you say?
Mace: Located around a person?
Qui: A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was concieved by the midi-chlorians.
Mace: You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?

Obi: Rey.
Yoda: Rise in the Force.
Kanan: In the heart of a Jedi lies her strength.
Obi: Rise.
Qui: Rise.
Luke: Rey, the Force will be with you, always.

Yoda: Tell me, why must you become Jedi?
Ezra: I dunno, I guess because Kanan believes I can.
Yoda: Ah! *Kanan* thinks you can. Hmmm. And you?
Ezra: Well, I'll become stronger. Powerful.
Yoda: Oh, power you seek.
Ezra: I'd make the Empire pay for *everything* it did, for *everything* it took. For my *parents*! I-I wouldn't be helpless anymore!
Yoda: Ah! Jedi way is revenge! Teach you this, your master did?
Ezra: No! Kanan would never. He's a good master, a-a *great* master!
Yoda: Then why seek you revenge?
Ezra: I don't.
Yoda: Hmm. Inside you, much anger. Much fear.
Ezra: I just want to protect myself and my friends!
Yoda: And this is why you must be Jedi?
Ezra: Yes. And not just them - everyone. I'll protect everyone! Before I met Kanan, I only ever thought of myself. But Kanan and the rest, they *don't* think like that. They help people, they give everything away, and I *see* it. I see how it makes people feel.
Yoda: Feel! Yes! How?
Ezra: Alive. They feel alive, like I do now.

Darth: I have waited a long time for this moment, my little green friend. At last, the Jedi are no more.
Yoda: Not if anything to say about it I have!
[Yoda force flings Darth Sidious across the room and across his desk]
Yoda: At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was.
[in a panic, Darth Sidious leaps towards the door. But Yoda leaps up and blocks his way]
Yoda: [ignites his lightsaber] If so powerful you are... why leave?
Darth: You will not stop me! Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us!
[ignites his lightsaber]
Yoda: Faith in your new apprentice, misplaced may be. As is your faith in the dark side of the Force.

Yoda: I am wondering, why are you here?
Luke: I'm looking for someone.
Yoda: Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmmm?
Luke: Right...
Yoda: Help you I can. Yes, mmmm.
Luke: I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior.
Yoda: Ohhh. Great warrior.
[laughs and shakes his head]
Yoda: Wars not make one great.

Yoda: [1:37:38] Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is... Consumed by Darth Vader.

Luke: Master Yoda... is Darth Vader my father?
Yoda: [avoiding the subject] Rest I need. Yes. Rest.
Luke: Yoda, I must know. If you know, tell me.
Yoda: Your father he is.
[pause]
Yoda: Told you, did he?
Luke: Yes.
Yoda: Unexpected this is. And unfortunate.
Luke: Unfortunate that I know the truth?
Yoda: No! Unfortunate that you rushed to face him... that incomplete was your training. That... not ready for the burden were you.

[last lines]
Obi: I have to admit that without the clones, it would have not been a victory.
Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.

Mace: What is it?
Yoda: Pain, suffering, death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain.

Yoda: [about the Ancient Jedi texts] Page turners, they are not.

Obi: These are you final steps, Rey. Rise and take them.
Anakin: Rey.
Ahsoka: Rey.
Kanan: Rey.
Anakin: Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.
Luminara: In the night, find the light, Rey.
Mace: You're not alone, Rey.
Yoda: Alone, never have you been.
Qui: Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you.
Anakin: The force surrounds you, Rey.
Aayla: Let it guide you.
Ahsoka: As it guided us.
Mace: Feel the force feeling through you, Rey.
Anakin: Let it lift you.
Adi: Rise, Rey.
Qui: We stand behind you, Rey.

[Kanan tries to contact Master Yoda]
Kanan: It's taking too long...
[rises to leave]
Yoda: Patience! Remember you not nothing of your training?
Kanan: Master Yoda?
[looks around]
Kanan: I'm losing it...
Yoda: Losing it? Lost, yes, but WHAT lost? The question, that is!
Kanan: How can this be?
Yoda: Be not concerned with how. Know I am here, because YOU are here.
Kanan: Thank you, Master Yoda.
Yoda: Thank you? Nothing have I done!

Yoda: Your path *you* must choose.

Yoda: You must unlearn what you have learned.

- Meanwhile, continue to scan the area.
- Yes, Captain Needa.
Yoda: Use the Force.
- Yes.
- Now, the stone...
- Feel it.

Yoda: Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

Luke: [Yoda appears as a ghost] Master Yoda.
Yoda: Young Skywalker.
Luke: I'm ending all of this. The tree, the texts, the Jedi. I'm going to burn it all down.
Yoda: [Yoda summons lightning to burn down the tree and the Jedi texts. He laughs] Ah, Skywalker. Missed you, have I.
Luke: So it is time for the Jedi Order to end.
Yoda: Time it is for you to look past a pile of old books, hmm?
Luke: The sacred Jedi texts?
Yoda: Oh, read them, have you? Page-turners they were not. Yes, yes, yes. Wisdom they held, but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess. Skywalker, still looking to the horizon. Never here, now, hmm? The need in front of your nose.
Luke: I was weak. Unwise.
Yoda: Lost Ben Solo you did. Lose Rey we must not.
Luke: I can't be what she needs me to be.
Yoda: Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.

Yoda: Your weapons, you will not need them.

Yoda: May the force be with you.

Yoda: Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that, you do not!

Luke: All right, I'll give it a try.
Yoda: No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

Yoda: Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.

Luke: I don't know. I feel like...
Yoda: Feel like what?
[Luke whips around and pulls out his blaster in defense]
Luke: Like we're being watched.
Yoda: Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm.

Alan: [Opens Harlan's Will] Wow this will be quick.
[reads will]
Alan: I, Harlon Thronby, being of sound mind and body, yada-yada-yada. I hearby direct all my assets both liquid and otherwise, I leave in its entirety to Marta Cabrera. My entire ownership of Blood like Wine Publishing company I leave to Marta Cabrera and the copyright of it's catalog I leave in its entirety to Marta Cabrera.

Luke: There's something not right here... I feel cold. Death.
Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.
Luke: What's in there?
Yoda: Only what you take with you.

Yoda: Control, control, you must learn control!

Yoda: I agree.
Ki: Aye.
- WINDU: Aye.
- WINDU: Very well. Council adjourned.
- The droids have started up their main power generators.
- Then now the time is, Commander.
- Yes, sir.

Yoda: A challenge, lifelong it is, not to bend fear into anger.

Luke: Master Yoda, you can't die.
Yoda: Strong am I with the Force, but not that strong.

- I request the boy be tested, Master.
Yoda: Oh.
- Trained as a Jedi you request for him?
- Finding him was the will of the Force.
- I have no doubt of that.
- Bring him before us, then.

Yoda: Premonitions, premonitions. These visions you have...
Anakin: They are of pain, suffering. Death.
Yoda: Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?
Anakin: Someone.
Yoda: Close to you?
Anakin: Yes.
Yoda: Careful you must be when sensing the future Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.
Anakin: I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.
Yoda: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is.
Anakin: What must I do, Master Yoda?
Yoda: Train yourself to let go... of everything you fear to lose.
