> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Diogenes the Cynic \* > \*\*Didn’t Anakin get married? 😕 \*\* Yes, but he wasn’t supposed to. The Jedi were supposed to avoid intense emotional attachments. So he broke the rules, which obviously led to Not A Good Thing. ---

Lucas wants an air of mystery to be maintained regarding Yoda and his species. This is why there are no answers regarding this. ---

My two cents claims that Yoda is a very, very old human. What do you think a 900 year old human looks like? ---

No longer such thing, a mystery, is Yoda’s origin. The riddle of his sex life, grateful are we that it is absent. ---

I remember a wav. file floating around a few years ago called “yodasex”, I think. It was, of course, Yoda speaking while having sex. Lots of Mmmmm’s in it. Funny funny stuff. ---

On the Attack of the Clones DVD, George Lucas says he’s Kermit and Miss Piggy’s child. Which, alarmingly, makes muppety sense. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/star-wars-question-what-kind-of-alien-creature-is-yoda/181967.md?page=1)
