A culumous cloud was seen over the Imperial District yesterday, bearing the image of Jedi Master Luke Sywalker's late teacher.

Master Yoda (no last name given) lived on the planet of Dagobah in the system of the same name. He was known to partake of mind-altering "gimer" drugs, which he believed would help him ascend to a higher level of mental activity. It is unknown if he witnessed any of the phenomena usually associated with this sort of reckless behavior, such as seeing pink banthas and flying jawas.

This rebel-without-a-cause (he was known to disobey many of the orders of the Jedi Council, even the orders which he gave to himself) was a popular figure on pre-Imperial Coruscant, often seen out and about with one of his many ladyfriends. Many of those interviewed are not surprised that the spirit of the Master would return to the place where he once was so happy.

"It's like... he's trying to get back into it. Y'know? Like now that the Emporer is gone, he's back to shake his tailfeathers," opines street vendor Rik'yvik.

Others, such as bartender Persian Rug believe that the vision was a symbol of peace in this time of fear.

"Well, the galaxy's gonna implode, right? You said so last week. So he's here to say 'Chill out, dude. Just let it ride.'"

More comforting words were never said.
