ICYMI: Frank Oz will be back as Yoda for Star Wars Rebels

Looks like a certain "little green friend" will be making his comeback in the new Star Wars Disney XD animated series that takes place after the events of the "Clone Wars" and the "Anakin Skywalker Trilogy".

As reported by Comic Book.com and TV Guide, Yoda, the favorite little and wise Jedi Master of the Star Wars franchise, is returning and appearing in Star Wars Rebels. He will come out of hiding to help out the new characters, particularly Kanan and his padawan, the young Ezra.

Yoda, once again voiced by Frank Oz, will be seen in the episode "Path of the Jedi", which airs on January 5, 2015 on Disney XD. Those with the Watch Disney XD app can watch it earlier on December 29, 2014.
