Isn’t the bigger questions: Why didn’t R2-D2 recognize Yoda?
Of course Yoda knew R2. He was just testing Luke. That’s a timeworn tradition of wise teachers (in disguise) testing the mettle of their students that dates back to Greek mythology.
But this article has got one wondering why didn’t R2 turn to Luke and say, “That’s Yoda alright, …but he’s acting cRazY!”
Here is an even better one, how was Vader’s visage created in the Dark Force cave? Luke only saw Vader for a moment, in “A New Hope”, and he was far away at that. Yoda never saw Vader. Yet in the Dark Force Cave, Vader was conjured up, not only that, but in his NEW Empire costume, complete with flashing lights, which was not seen in ANH.
My question has always been…why does obiwan say to yoda that luke was their only hope? Yoda then says…no there is another (leia). Obiwan knows about Leia so he should already know there is another.

21 years of confusion, tops. There was no idea that there would be prequels as of 1980, let alone whether both Yoda and R2-D2 would both be in them.
Also, Yoda was testing Luke’s character/how kind he was when Yoda was “acting crazy.”

Easy… Luke simply Googled, “What does Darth Vader look like?” and hit images.
Meanwhile, Yoda had a Sunday paper subscription to the Dagobah Daily, which always had all the latest news.
