The Motion Blur is just Photoshop's Motion Blur filter from the Blur filtersI gave more motion blur to the frames as Yoda moves closer and past the 'camera'
As far as the animation: On take off just 2 frames the start potion and the end position and then used Photoshops tween function on the Animation Bar to add the inbe'tween' frames.
The flying toward us was done by duplicating the Yoda layer and with Free Transform moving the anchor point off into the perspective behind Yoda that would describe the path he was flying (Imagine a straight line from the anchor point, through Yoda and off to where you want him to fly)
Then while the Free Transform was still active scaled Yoda to 110% - Because the anchor point was behind him in the distance this has the effect of pushing him forward.
Then I duplicated this layer and this time applied Ctrl+Shift+T (Cmd+Shift+T) to apply the same transform again, and keep duplicating this layer and Ctrl+Shift+T each time will give the impression Yoda is coming towards us.

If you are on the earlier version of Photoshop with ImageReady then it's the animation bar in ImageReadyImageReady got merged with Photoshop
