10 More Important Star Wars Details That Are Almost Never Mentioned

And finally, one question that's often brought up among more casual Star Wars fans is - how precisely is Yoda (Frank Oz) able to perform balletic combat against the likes of Count Dooku when he's otherwise shown to be frail and even requires a cane to walk around?

Despite the belief of some fans that Yoda must be exaggerating his "feebleness" in order to catch his enemies off-guard, it's no act. 

Rather, Yoda isn't using his Force abilities 24/7, but simply employing them when he needs to - most often in a combat situation.

In the pre-Disney canon, Yoda used an ability called Force Valor to overcome the realities of his accelerated age and perform the aforementioned acrobatic manoeuvres, and while that's technically not an official part of the newly established canon, the broad strokes of it most likely are.

All in all, while some see Yoda's physical abilities as contradictory to how he's presented to us, that's really not the case at all.
