Luigi
Although Luigi is as kindhearted as his heroic brother, he is portrayed in the games as timid and a bit of a coward, especially in the presence of ghosts or when forced to do tasks that seemingly are impossible. Despite this facet, when in the face of intense adversity, he is known to work up his courage, resolve, and eventually get the job done, proving he is much braver than is believed or portrayed. Luigi is clumsier than Mario, although he is a better jumper, which is odd considering Mario's "claim to fame" being his jumping ability. He tends to be self-conscious whereas Mario is carefree and headstrong. Luigi compliments Mario on a lot of things. He is described as being smarter than Mario in the Mario Party instruction manual, [6] despite being portrayed as dense in other Nintendo games, such as the Mario and Luigi series. He sometimes ends up serving as comic relief, being the butt of quite a few jokes here and there.
Luigi has been depicted as being less recognizable than his brother, and perhaps under appreciated. A running gag in the Mario and Luigi series has most of the supporting characters having difficulty remembering Luigi's name, referring to him instead as "green guy", "Green 'Stache", "other guy", "Mr. Green", or even just "Mario's brother". This joke was continued into Super Mario 64 DS, where a few of the Toads in the castle do not immediately recognize Luigi, and Super Princess Peach, where he is jokingly referred to as "The Green Man" when Peach rescues him from the clutches of Kamek. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi became an esteemed author, writing a series of best-selling novels entitled Super Luigi, which tells the "true" story of his quest to save a princess from a distant land, while Mario is on his adventure to find the Crystal Stars. In Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time at one point he is said to have one or several deep, dark and embarrassing secrets that he wishes no-one to know. However this is not a major plot point, and is done for comedy rather than the intent of being taken seriously as character development.
In many games and game manuals Luigi is said to be the younger of the Mario Brothers. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he occasionally refers to Mario as "big brother". However, in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, it is stated that he is Mario's twin. It includes a scene where the infant brothers are delivered by the stork to their parents. From this scene, it is possible to infer that Luigi is actually the younger twin, as Mario is the first to emerge from his sling. This is backed up by the European version of the port, which has selectable languages, all of which use a term meaning "twins" or "twin brothers". Japanese info states that Mario and Luigi are twins. Despite this, Mario acts like a traditional older brother towards Luigi.

In the films, Yoda is portrayed as the wisest and most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. The films and Expanded Universe reveal that he had trained several notable Jedi, including Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi (partially, before Qui-Gon Jinn took over with Obi-Wan's training), Ki-Adi-Mundi and eventually Luke Skywalker. (In between here, during the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars, he mentions that he trained another one of the leaders on the Jedi Council, Master Oppo Rancisis.) The Star Wars prequel films explain that he instructed all younglings in the Jedi Temple before they were assigned to a master.
George Lucas has intentionally kept the name of Yoda's race a secret. (Yoda, Yaddle, and Vandar Tokare are sometimes erroneously referred to as Whills, despite Lucas' insistence that they are not.) In fact, very little is reported of Yoda's life before the events of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Following his training, Yoda is said to have spent 100 years in self-imposed solitude, attempting to attain a higher level of understanding of the Force.[citation needed] He was one of the Jedi Masters who ran the mobile academy aboard the starship Chu'unthor 200 years before the films' timeline began, leaving the ship's data tapes in the care of one of the natives when the vessel crashed on Dathomir.[citation needed]
