Weird Al Yankovic gave one touching tribute to "Star Wars'" Yoda, and it was all made possible by a group of children with autism.

At Comedy Central's annual "Night of Too Many Stars," Weird Al Yankovic donned a jedi-like robe and sang one of his earliest hits "Yoda," a parody of "Lola" by The Kinks. But what made this rendition of Yankovic's "Yoda" so special is that he was accompanied by a chorus line of children who have autism.

But Al isn't the only all-star musician in this performance. Jodi DiPiazza, a young girl with autism, sings and plays piano alongside Al. DiPiazza also performed at Night of Too Many Stars in 2012 with Katy Perry, seen below.
