    Looks like Disney’s ability to keep milking their latest cute plush toy is coming to an end.

        Honestly a series following Yoda over his life showing the decline of the Jedi order would be pretty good. I’m actually kinda surprised that wasn’t a thing in the EU canon, though we did get a couple comics featuring young Yoda. Imagine how much worse of a blender Yoda in his prime would be, in EU canon he hefts a mini gun on his back and fucks up some droids and in one of the first clone wars (2008) episodes he literally blends a bunch of B1 droids in a tank.

          Lucas was against exploring Yoda because that would diminish his mystique.

          In a world way worse Yuuzhan Vong would’ve been Yoda species as the invading force from unknown regions of space.

          I think the best way to deal with Yoda is to keep him as far as possible from current Star Wars soap opera framework and maintain his stories strictly in the realm of myths that might or might not be true so that every story is standalone and self-contained. something like Samurai Assassin series used to do for example

            Fair enough, still wish we could get a name for his damned species even if it was just some Old Republic identification code or something.

            Also now I’m trying to think of how to deal with an invading force of Yodas species, all I’m coming up with is Base Delta Zero or 40k exterminatus namely virus bombs.

              It would’ve been way funnier if Yoda actually turned out to be the last representative of the Sith species. Now that’s what i call a pointless rug pull.

              (Wookiepedia got pictures of OG Siths as these guys with handlebar moustache like facial features - which technically means Hulk Hogan could’ve been a lore accurate Sith.)


              Star Wars going full 40k with the Yoda Invasion would’ve been lit.
