Star Wars guru Yoda was based on Albert Einstein. The 900-year-old Jedi Master - who taught Luke Skywalker to use "The Force" - was given wise features like the physicist's. http://www.cinema.com/news/item/7165/star-wars-yoda-was-based-on-einstein.phtml The original Yoda puppet was sculpted to look a little like Albert Einstein. There even was a picture of Einstein hanging near where they were sculpting the Yoda for Empire Strikes Back. http://www.yodajeff.com/people/einstein/ Feb 20 09, 9:10 AM
