George Lucas Finally Explains Why Yoda Speaks Backwards

Ever wonder why Yoda’s dialogue in Star Wars sounds so twisted? George Lucas finally explained it during a 45th anniversary screening of The Empire Strikes Back. He said, "Because if you speak regular English, people won't listen that much. But if he had an accent, or it's really hard to understand what he's saying, they focus on what he's saying." Mission accomplished, George.

Influencers Blamed for Rise in Shark Attacks

A new study published in Frontiers in Conservation found that influencers and tourists trying to ride, poke, and grab sharks are causing an uptick in shark attacks. Researchers studying encounters in French Polynesia from 2009 to 2023 said about 5% of shark bites happened when sharks felt threatened by humans looking for dramatic photo ops. Experts are now reminding everyone: Sharks will eat you if you treat them like Instagram props.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It just takes three minutes to get every single thing
you need to know for the day with Nina's What's Trending?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Have you ever wondered why Yoda speaks backwards since Star
Wars Wait would he does just as he was dyslexic,
So I thought too, you know, No, Actually, George Lucas
is speaking for the first time, and it's actually kind
of interesting. He was like, he speaks backwards because he
wanted people to focus on what he's saying. If you
speak English correctly, people don't listen as much. So if
you mess up words, or if you have an accent,

(00:25):
or if you speak different, people have to focus a
little bit harder on what you're saying to understand it.
So he's like, Yoda's the philosopher. Yoda has to speak backwards.
How come I'm not known as a philosopher. No one
can ever understand me?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well? Because what they hang on your every word, Victoria,
they do. Yes, They're like, what in the world is
she saying that part?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
And they're like so intrigued.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, like Yoda, Victoria gen Z, Yoda a philosopher.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, some wisdom gens Yoda with the laughing. Now when
everyone anyone refers to me, I want them to refer
to me as gen z Yoda. Yes, us wisdom practice.
What would you say, gen z Yoda speaks of wisdom

(01:18):
whenever gen z Yoda wants to speak wisdom.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
And right now the time.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Science is back. Scientists said that they know why there's
been a rise in shark attacks. And we've been talking
about this lately because there has been and it's crazy
because people have been kind of instigating sharks and science
blames influencers.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, of course it does the reason, I guess, but
themselves in those positions.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
They're trying to get the picture they're trying to have.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
At the moment. I don't need a scientist to tell
you that. Or like, sharks are just haters. They're just
like they think they're so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
They hate us because they us they are getting the
wrong angles. That would definitely provoke anybody. And I said,
get me lab, I mean, I cant mad at gen
z Yodo for stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I was just.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
So be careful out there. Probably don't try to get
that shot. And lastly, oh my gosh, please look into
your drinks before you drink it. This woman is going viral,
right now she's trending because she ordered a margarita at
a restaurant and ended up having a baby snake in it.
Oh what the snake was not part of the order
of the margarita. And the whole story that the owner
of the restaurant is saying is that the snake must

(02:36):
have fallen from the sky, out of the air conditioner.
Event bounce off your forehead and forehead, bounce off your
forehead and where do you get the foe?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Why the forehead part. I can see somebody being like,
maybe it fell out of the ceiling. I don't know what.
Oh it fell, it bounced off your forehead, and then
give it details exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I didn't bounce, we saw it. It was.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It was crazy because it was like out of their conditioner.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
And then it fell right onto your forehead and your
forehead caused the ricochet into yours.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Just your fault if if you would have bounced it
the other way.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Drink and then they offered to move her to a booth,
and she was.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Give me that one for free.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Did they comped her meal? And she's like, I'm out.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
The baby snake. I wonder which Applebee's was this.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
All? Say it was a great state of Virginia.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Because snake's just falling from the sky the people's forehead.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know. But the wild part too, is that
one of the servers came over scoop the snake out
of her drink with their hand.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
That person's been a server for too long, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
And proceeded to walk it outside like that's so.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Much out your You know, this is a humanly establishment,
and many conversations with you, snake outside. Me and you
talked this morning, just when I walked in, and I said,

and knees, and y'all ain't got no knees. Last time

like folk. You ain't no folk. Snake pouncing off of
foreheads into drinks. Take your drink, you show me your

(04:44):
show me. You can't wrap a thumb around a straw.
You ain't getting in her snake. You mean people like
that at every door, every ye
