Yoda first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back without his lightsaber; however, there’s a canonical reason it never appears in the original trilogy.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jedi Grandmaster Yoda is one of the most powerful Star Wars characters, but there is an in-universe reason why he never used his lightsaber in the original Star Wars trilogy. Yoda was initially introduced in The Empire Strikes Back and was the one who oversaw the bulk of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi training.
Yoda’s lightsaber was first seen in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones, where he faced off with his former apprentice-turned Sith Lord, Count Dooku. It was during this fight that Yoda’s skill with a lightsaber was on full display, showing the Jedi Master as a warrior. Yoda and his lightsaber would be seen again in Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith when Yoda battled Emperor Palpatine in the Senate. However, after that duel, Master Yoda is never seen using his lightsaber again.
Yoda Learned Wars Do Not Make One Great One of Yoda’s first lines in Star Wars came in The Empire Strikes Back, where he tells Luke Skywalker that "wars not make one great." This line is better understood when knowing Yoda’s experiences in the Clone Wars. Yoda saw great warriors fall to the dark side like Anakin Skywalker, and others perished during Order 66.
It's also seen that after Yoda’s duel with Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith, he is largely non-combative. Yoda knows the danger of war and how it can be a slippery slope to one losing their way. Instead of teaching Luke with his lightsaber, Yoda challenges him in other ways—showing that Luke doesn’t need to be a great warrior to be a true Jedi Knight.
