The life-sized figure, which usually sits next to R2-D2 and Darth Vader, was “anonymously” given back to the owner on Friday, March 4.
Shane Parkin, owner of Movie Starr Cinema, was overjoyed to have Yoda back.
He said: “Our customers are so happy that we have him back and he will be back on display in the cinema very soon for everyone to enjoy again.
“I had been going around still asking if anyone knew his whereabouts and last week had him anonymously given back.
“We thank everyone for the support from on social media and the press.
“It proves that the force is with us and that through support and love for Movie Starr our Jedi has returned.”
