J. W. Rinzler’s excellent The Making of Empire Strikes Back (2010). I have the eBook edition, to me it’s easily the best BTS anything from the OT and pretty much tells the definitive story. I forget the page - somewhat early into the book - around the time of the story development (pre-script), Lucas’ initial ideas for then Minch Yoda and how the name was meant to be eastern sounding, and how he wanted him to speak incredibly strangely, so it would stick out. He was attempting to make the character interesting and not Obi-Wan 2.0, and to make what can be boring mystical dialogue more memorable. I can check the actual page later and tell you, if you’d like, but if you have the book as well I think it would be easy to find! 😃
