Latter-day Saint Folklore | Spencer W. Kimball and Yoda
Spencer W. Kimball and Yoda
| This page is still under construction. We welcome any suggestions for improving the content of this FAIR Answers Wiki page. |
Summary: Among the many curious rumors and bits of folklore that travel around the Church, there are few that have gained as much traction as the idea that Spencer W. Kimball served as a model for the appearance and likeness of the character Yoda from the fictional space opera movie series known as Star Wars. Kimball served as the twelfth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In Star Wars, Yoda is a warrior known as a "Jedi" who trains other "Jedi" to fight.
While the connection is tempting, there is no good evidence to support the notion that Spencer W. Kimball was the inspiration for Yoda.
