In ''[[Star Wars: The Last Jedi|The Last Jedi]]'' (2017), Yoda appears to Luke as a Force spirit. As Luke considers whether to burn down a tree storing sacred Jedi texts, Yoda reminds him that a Jedi must always be sure of his path. When Luke decides to burn down the tree, Yoda summons a lightning bolt and sets it ablaze. Luke is suddenly concerned about the loss of the texts, but Yoda assures him that they contained no knowledge that Rey does not already possess. Yoda's voice is heard again in ''[[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker|The Rise of Skywalker]]'' (2019) when many deceased Jedi are speaking to Rey during her battle against the resurrected Darth Sidious.
