Spencer W. Kimball and Yoda

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 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.
