After decades of Star Wars worshipping Yoda, the Singapore Lucasfilm replaced the beloved water fountain statue with a newer character.

After 9 Years of the Yoda Fountain, Star Wars Fans Crushed by Lucasfilm Singapore’s Latest Replacement

Who could ever forget the Star Wars film series? Right since the beginning, the
world has been obsessed with the intergalactic space opera created by George
Lucas with his production company, Lucasfilm. No matter the age gap between
generations, apart from the love for the franchise, one other thing has been
passed down. That is the love for the film’s character, Yoda.

Ever since Yoda made his way to the big screen back in the 80s, the character
has made everyone who has ever seen him fall in love. Even though he is a
legendary Jedi Master, fans have never gotten over his size and cuteness. In
fact, Lucasfilm even created a Yoda fountain at many of their locations,
including Singapore. However, most recently, the production studio seems to have
had a change of heart over the years and replaced the nine-year-old statue with
a Grogu statue.

Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda joined the franchise years after the original
Yoda had stepped on the scene. Earlier this year, fans had to come to terms with
the fact that the franchise would be leaving Lucas behind with its upcoming
films. While fans of the franchise initially loved the character, the recent
update of the replacement left fans feeling a little bitter about the whole
thing.

While some fans chose to just voice their displeasure at the sudden change,
others began drawing connections from the replacement of the statue to the
revival of the franchise without the mastermind behind it, George Lukas.


STAR WARS FANS ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE CHANGE

After 9 years of being a tourist attraction, the decision to remove the Yoda
statue was nothing less than a thunderclap. The character has been so adored
that even Pedro Pascal could not stop imitating the Jedi master.

For the television company, it might have been a time to move on to newer and
brighter horizons. However, the timing did not sit well with fans who
immediately took to social media to voice their disappointment at the change.

There were also some social media users who claimed that this could be the
studio’s way of washing off the legacy built by George Lucas.

While the Singaporean studio has not confirmed or denied anything as of yet, one
thing is certain. Fans did not like the replacement of the Yoda fountain and
wished they had gone about it differently. Though fans may not get their Yoda
back anytime soon, the replacement could tell fans a little more about the
direction in which the studio plans to go.
