Yoda...
How do you think Yoda looked when he was younger? Was he smooth-skinned, do you think? Perhaps he was already wrinkly and he was a lighter or darker shade of green. Or better yet, maybe he was taller. Consider how humans tend to get shorter as their skeletons compress over time. People over a hundred years old are practically a whole foot or more shorter than they were at their tallest. At least standing, assuming that they weren't able to maintain their best posture. Not everyone can. Or is that more of a matter of genetics, people born a long time ago just being shorter than people born now. Does that mean that Yoda may be 800 years old and three feet tall while those of his species just breaking One hundred are six feet tall, seven? Or would they only be toddlers then, preteens, not quite teenaged? Then would they be taller later? Or is it Mork and Mindy wherein Mork started off full grown and grew physically younger with age? Maybe Yoda was ten feet tall and has matured into his modest stature.
Of course, I'm certain there is some sort of reference available that goes into great detail regarding the nature of Yoda's species, though I'm reluctant to go looking for it. I don't mind not knowing. Guessing is much more fun. : )

Suppose yoda is the youngest of them all. Perhaps there are those of his species much older and wiser than he. Could this be a possibility? How about if those of his species who are actually older are shorter than him! What if they become so short that people of the current generation in his world can no longer see the older segment of the species. Perhaps the smaller they get, the more likely they are to BECOMING the force and not just a physical manefestation of great power and wisdom. What if Anakin and Luke were using spirits of yoda's that have gone before in the force that encaptured their being. Perhaps this is why Yoda felt such a sense of failure when Anakin used the spirit of his species toward the dark side instead of staying good with the Jedi. Try that on for size.
