Week 3 Task 8 - Talk Like Yoda Day

[Lex Green]

We may have already covered one Star Wars Day in this activity, but when I found out about this other niche celebratory day, I couldn’t resist including it as well. May 21st is also known as ‘Talk Like Yoda Day’ - or should that be, ‘Talk Like Yoda Day’ May 21st is also known as…

In the Star Wars franchise, Yoda speaks with an unusual grammar structure and word order (specifically, he speaks with an object-subject-verb order, instead of the usual English subject-verb-object order), so on May 21st, this unique way of speaking is celebrated, and Star Wars fans may try to emulate Yoda’s cadence in anything they say that day!

Task:
Working out what Yoda (or someone using his grammar) is saying might be a little tricky, so have a practice restructuring information in preparation for the day by solving this logic puzzle:

Chaos has broken out across a galaxy far, far away as several fighters have lost their lightsabers! Luckily, four characters have found the misplaced sabers, which are all different colours, after several weeks of searching. Work out who found which lightsaber, and how long it took them to rediscover it (between one and four weeks), using the following clues.

1. The green lightsaber was found after one week.
2. The red lightsaber was either the one found after four weeks, or the one found by Luke.
3. Leia found a lightsaber took longer to find than the blue lightsaber.
4. Han Solo found the purple lightsaber.
5. Yoda found a lightsaber a week after the green lightsaber was found.
