![]() ![]() Just knowing that Baby Yoda is 50 years old, which puts him being born in the same year as Anakin, points to an intriguing backstory we have yet to learn. Although Lucas didn’t have plans for Yoda’s species back during the first trilogy, there are surely plans now. But that makes it all the more intriguing. The information about Yoda’s species is scarce. And of course, there’s Yaddle, the only other member of Yoda’s species who was seen on screen. There’s also Minch, who served the Jedi Order in 700 BBY. Stars Wars Fandom notes that other known members of Yoda’s species include Vandar Tokare (on the Jedi Council of Dantooine) and Oteg, who served in the Cold War. The Mandalorian wrapped up its third season this past month, taking Grogu. He was about 900 when he died in Return of the Jedi. 2 days ago &0183 &32 2 While Star Wars Celebration is now in the rear view, celebrations for the galaxy far, far away are just getting started. Yoda has said that he trained Jedi for more than 800 years. We know that Yodas’ species can live a long time and ages slowly. It’s not known if they’re related (although it’s unlikely.) The species Yoda demiankoopi isunusual in that it has both male and female reproductive organs, and only one set of reproductive organs functioning at a time. Star Wars Fandom notes that Yoda’s species resembles the Lannik species and Yoda has, in fact, been mistaken for that species. The genus Yoda was first described in 2012 and earned its name from the worms’ long lip-like structures that resemble the long ears of Yoda, the Star Wars character. With so many people after Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian, we can assume that the species is pretty scarce. He’s the subversive, secret, mysterious stranger that enters the film and then exits at the end. Maybe it’s somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. But to be really honest with you, I never really figured out where he came from, what his species is called. And so I needed something, and I created Yoda, who was two feet tall, large, with green ears. We needed a physical body there to do things. ![]() And I could do certain things by having him come back as a ghost from the Force, because I had decided to kill him off in a metaphysical way rather than a physical way… But I couldn’t do everything. So when I killed him off, I had to replace him, when I got to the second movie. I felt that his character had become so strongly - Alec Guiness had presented it - that I really couldn’t do that. And then in the next film, he basically sat around and taught Luke how to use the Force and things. The only other time we see a member of Yoda’s species is Yaddle, who appears in The Phantom Menace. As I got through starting to shoot the movie…I realized when I came to the end battle that Obi-Wan had nothing to do but sit around and watch the battle like Princess Leia. No species name is ever established in the original trilogy, nor the three prequel films. The truth about Yoda is, that, in the original movie, Obi-Wan went to the very end of the film, and Yoda didn’t exist.
