"I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied thing it would confuse the audience less," Star Wars Rebels executive producer and "Path of the Jedi" director Dave Filoni said in an interview about Yoda's return in an interview earlier this year. "I didn't want you to think Yoda could be teleporting from planet to planet. What's great about Frank, by keeping the voice very present and active, you do feel that it's a watchfulness and that he's speaking to you from afar. And I didn't want anyone to think that he had left Dagobah [the planet where Yoda first trains Luke Skywalker]. It was on the outer rim of what we do, but I think we were able to pull it off."
