Is Yoda in Star Wars : The Force Awakens?

Here's what we do know of the connection between "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the Original Trilogy: Han Solo, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca, among other minor characters, will all be appearing. That is awesome in its own right as it will give fans both old and new a jolt of excitement to see these characters back in action once more.

But they aren't the only "Star Wars" icons who may be returning. A rumour has occurred that somebody working at the voice dubbing studio where they're recording the voices for the CGI characters in movie, has said that Frank Oz was at the studio recording recording the voice for his original character, the much loved Yoda. Okay so I understand that Yoda died in the Empire Strikes back, but we've already seen him as a force ghost in episode 6, could we have a brief encounter with our little green friend as a force ghost?

Recently, Frank Oz returned to the "Star Wars" galaxy when he lent his voice to Yoda in season one of "Star Wars: Rebels." At the time, he said he would love to voice the character again in future "Star Wars" films.

Yoda could be used as a Force ghost communing with Luke all these years. It is rumored that Luke is in self-imposed exile and has become incredibly powerful since "Return of the Jedi." How else would that be possible without the help of the Grand Master Jedi himself?

We're not saying J.J. Abrams has to throw Yoda out in every scene. But as fan service that actually serves a logical purpose within the context of the plot, including Yoda is very possible
