Could Yoda be the spiritual mentor to Eleven, the girl with psychokinetic powers? Mike uses a cute Yoda action figure to explain the concept of 'the Force' to her while she struggles to control her abilities. For these geeky boys, the saga serves as the veritable bible of adventure and coming-of-age. The Duffer Brothers have noted in interviews that the entire structure of Season 2 was inspired by <The Empire Strikes Back>. They also pay loving homage by sprinkling Han Solo's iconic lines—such as "Never tell me the odds" and "I'll see you in hell"—throughout the series.
