18. Yoda learns the path of immortality

Episode:  Season 6 Episodes 11-12: Voices & Destiny

"Episode Summary: Yoda is deeply unsettled when he hears something from beyond the grave: the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn. Knowing that it is impossible for a Jedi to retain his identity after death, the Jedi Council begins to worry that Yoda may be corrupted by the influence of the dark side. Determined to find answers, Yoda escapes the Jedi Temple to follow the disembodied voice. Letting the Force guide him, Yoda voyages into the heart of the galaxy to an ancient world that is one of the wellsprings of the Force and the source of midi-chlorians. Yoda undergoes difficult trials administered by the Five Priestesses, mysterious Force-wielders who hold the secret to immortality."

The Moment: Yoda, with the help of Anakin Skywalker, is able to escape the Jedi medical facility after a strange occurrence within the Force.  Yoda, with Anakin’s droid R2-D2, takes a long adventure which brings them to the Unknown Regions of space, where he encounters ancient and mystic Force-wielders. There he learns what he later is able to achieve in becoming a Force ghost and one with the Force.

Why It’s Memorable: Qui-Gon is back! Voiced once again by Liam Neeson, the voice of the long gone Jedi, who speaks to Yoda and guides him on a quest in achieving true immortality. We even get to see Yoda and R2 visit Dagobah, where he faces his own trials in the cave, which Luke later does in The Empire Strikes Back.
