Yoda was once a working Interactive Yoda toy. He met his death while watching the movie Velvet Goldmine when a few scenes involving an unclothed Ewan McGregor caused Yoda to short circuit and fry himself.

For fun, Kim Leigh of Santa Cruz, CA took "Dead Yoda" to Disneyland with her and got pictures of him around the park. She got the idea that it would be funny if she sent Yoda to England to try to get a picture of him with Ewan McGregor himself. She tossed the idea out to her friends and Rachel Williams stepped up to help plan the tour. After several months of contacting over 60 FanForce chapters that covered 5 continents, the tour was set and ready to begin. More FanForce chapters were added and as of January 1, 2006, Yoda was set to visit 69 different FanForce chapters in 15 different countries on 5 different continents.

Yoda spent his last week preparing for the tour in sunny San Diego, California with Rachel. He went back to Disneyland, then enjoyed a week of Comic-Con International where he was introduced to Star Wars celebrities such as Peter Mayhew, Ray Park, Amy Allen, Daniel Logan, Billy Dee Williams, Matthew Wood, and Michonne Bourriague. He then got packed away in his "travel pod" and hopped a plane to London, England.
