Why didn't Master Yoda make the cameo fans were waiting for in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens?"
Those who have watched the film will know that Rey, the newest Jedi character, has a mysterious lineage. She was abandoned when she was very young and even got strange visions when she came in contact with Luke Skywalker's lightsaber.
Recent reports have found out that Yoda's appearance in "Episode 7" could have made Rey's story much clearer for viewers.
"There was one point where we were actually thinking of having Yoda in the film, and then we decided not to," said film ditor Maryann Brandon on Entertainment Tonight. "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!"
The addition of the iconic master Jedi would've added to the nostalgic experience just as the other characters had, but the production seemed to think that his appearance would be better suited elsewhere.
Even with leaked screenplay, there is still so much more missing from the story of Rey in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" that only a cameo from the wise Yoda could shed light on.
"We're going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying," Director Colin Trevorrow teased on Independent. "Rey is a character that is important in this universe, not just in the context of The Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy. She deserves it."
"We'll make sure that that answer is something that feels like it was something that happened a long time ago, far away, and we're just telling you what happened."
There will hopefully be a Master Yoda cameo in "Episode 8" since he didn't make it in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." It will be a while before fans will find out if the master's return on screen will be worth the wait since the eighth film will be released on Dec. 15, 2017.
