'a device yoda often employs' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'very excited by stick' is the wordplay.
'very excited' becomes 'hyper' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'very' bit.).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'stick' becomes 'baton' (term for a stick or staff).
'hyper'+'baton'='HYPERBATON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hyperbaton that I've seen is " as an example: this I must see!".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
