[edit] Story

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Jedi Master Yoda, who was considered to be a living legend, remained hidden on the planet Dagobah in order to evade persistent pursues after the rise of the Empire.

For many years Yoda had lived on that planet of mud and swampland. One day, he notices a faint wave of power that shook the very foundations of the universe. He looked up into the sky to try to see what was happening, but had no means of discerning it. The wave of power was weak and quickly became undetectable. Though it had been an unmistakable disturbance, he surmised that it was not a huge problem. The movements of the Galactic Empire were of more concern. The Empire had taken control of the galaxy, and many suffered under its tyranny.

However, as the days passed, the strength of the wave increased. It could now be felt constantly as a distortion in the universe. Soon after, Darth Vader, the Empire's Dark Lord, made his move. Yoda sensed that it was time for him to act as well, for if the Empire was becoming involved, then so must he.

Leaving Dagobah meant that his safety would be compromised, but there were no Jedi left with the power to stop Darth Vader.

In the course of his journey, Yoda sensed that Darth Vader had become involved with the disturbance. Vader's motive was now clear. There was something on the other side that created the disturbance, and the Empire was attempting to gain control of that power, if left unchecked. Vader may return to their universe with a huge calamity.

Without hesitation, Yoda made his decision and jumped into the disturbance himself. No matter what may lay waiting for him, he knew he had to stop the Empire's scheme.

[edit] Soulcalibur IV Ending

Yoda releases the energy of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur from within the defeated Algol, who disappears without a trace, leaving both swords behind. His mission complete, Yoda returns to Dagobah in his escape pod. The text-only epilogue then says Yoda took a quiet breath, but this was not the end. The battle against the Empire would still continue.

[edit] Trivia

All Critical Finishers performed on Yoda are different than the character's original finisher because of his extremely small size.
On October 23, 2008, Yoda became available as downloadable content to PlayStation 3 owners in Japan and North America.
Throw/grab attacks cannot be used on Yoda. (Again, due to his height)
