I think a lot of people see the greatness achieved by Empire and forget that it stood on the shoulders of Star Wars. Sometimes even I forget, until thinking back on it or perhaps reading The Making of Star Wars. Every single decision that Lucas made, from the precise blend of hundreds of pop culture inspirations to the (at the time) unique used-universe aesthetic to the dramatic documentary style of cinematography to the dynamic archetypal characters to the unsurpassed level of design in the production to the classic score - hundreds of decisions like these had to go into making this movie, and none of them were guaranteed to work.

What I’m trying to say here is that the ability to even craft a working Yoda is insignificant next to the original conception of the Force.
