Star Wars: Yoda Stories is a 1997 computer game based on the Star Wars franchise developed by LucasArts. It was predeceded by Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures, and no further Desktop Adventures titles were released. In the Star Wars timeline, Yoda Stories is placed between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, where Luke Skywalker is completing his training with Jedi Master Yoda.
Unlike other titles, Yoda Stories has no central plot or definitive goal - it's a mere collection of games where the player, controlling Luke Skywalker has to complete an objective like rescuing Han Solo or Princess Leia, obtaining an object or warning the Rebellion in several locations in the Star Wars universe like Hoth, Tattooine or the Forest moon of Endor. The game received poor reviews at the time of the release, mostly because it was decided to review it as a regular game, rather than a "quick break" game replacement to games like Solitaire or Hearts. Graphics are simple bitmaps and regular 32x32 icons, with few animations.
Each game starts with Luke arriving at Dagobah in a X-Wing. If the player is still a rookie, R2-D2 can be picked up, and dropped anytime for hints. After finding Yoda, he gives Luke one assignment and one object that will be required to complete it, and the game begins. Each gameworld is composed by 100 screens, but how many are active can be set in the options. Although it's not required to complete the game, a locator provides information (such as the status of a puzzle) and a way to find out where the player is. It is usually found under a rock, inside a wrecked vehicle or with a person - but always within one screen of the starting location. To progress in the game, the player has to make errands, such as finding a key, or an object, until he reaches the final puzzle. The Force is also present, but in the beginning it must be obtained from the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi. It stops all enemies from moving, and is occasionally required to complete a puzzle.
