Yoda returns as a younger version of himself in the prequel trilogy beginning with "". The film marked the final time Oz would portray the character as a puppet until the release of "The Last Jedi" (2017). However, in the 2011 Blu-ray release of "The Phantom Menace", the Yoda puppet was replaced by a CGI character to match the later depiction of the character. In the film, which is set 35 years before "The Empire Strikes Back", Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn brings the young Anakin Skywalker to the Jedi Council. Qui-Gon is convinced that Anakin is the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy who will bring balance to the Force and requests the boy be trained as a Jedi. Yoda senses great fear in Anakin, especially in regards to his attachment to his mother Shmi, and foresees "grave danger" in his training. The Council, led at the time by Yoda's former padawan Mace Windu, rejects Qui-Gon's request.
