Meme lore

What is the Yoda There Is No Try meme?

Yoda There Is No Try is a black starfield quote card: a cutout of the Empire Strikes Back puppet on the left and the baked line “DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY.” on the right. It is a poster of that Dagobah lecture, not a blank advice-animal Yoda.

Origin & history

The line is from Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back (released 1980-05-21). On Dagobah, Luke says he will try to lift the X-wing; Frank Oz’s Yoda answers, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Quote macros and Yodaspeak parodies spread with the films; yodaspeak.co.uk launched 2005-06-23. This file is a 250×125 JPEG of a starfield poster with the quote already printed.

Quote: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980-05-21 (Yoda / Frank Oz; Luke / Mark Hamill). This PNG is a 250×125 JPEG of a starfield cutout with baked quote — not a blank ESB still.
