Even beyond that though we never saw much more of them. As much as legends loved to give background and lore to the tiniest of things that made an appearance in the movies they same as Disney canon kept pretty quiet about todas species.
If Grogu goes back to his home planet and it’s essentially a muppet planet with Kermit and Piggy, I will take the day off work to stay home and watch the Internet explode.
Well, they did give the helm of the franchise to his disciple Filoni, however I'm absolutely not trying to suggest that Disney cares about anything else than dinheiro.
I would not say this has happened yet at least. Filoni has been given a lot of creating power along with Favreau. But those guys had very little to do with the sequel trilogy, unless I am wrong.
We wish Filoni has the keys to Star Wars, but he hasn’t taken over the franchise yet, like being in a role like Kevin Feige or something.
They wasn't connected to st in any way, but after that clusterfuck and the overwhelming success of the Mandalorian, I think that they must have gotten all the keys to the franchise
I still can't understand why no one has done a TV series or movies set in this time line. So many opportunities for storyline and to finally move away from the skywalker saga
Just me personally, I'm so hungry for a grandiose story that is outside of the skywalker saga. Like the sidequests are fine, but we need something completely fresh and heroic.
She was on the Jedi council in episode 1. Can be seen in background when Qui Gon is breifing the council and when Anakin is being interviewed. Had a few comics about her.
Didn't she get like...tortured or trapped or imprisoned for a *really* long time or something, but since their lifespans are so long it wasn't such a big deal and she ended up okay?
There was something like that in her backstory...or...forestory.
She was captured and tossed in a sealed pit for 100 years. She became a local legend to the people nearby, and lived off of offerings they tossed to her. And meditated. A lot.
It was in one of the Dark Horse comics run of The Clone Wars.
Nope he's the 5th or 6th but it depends on if you mean cannon or legend there is Yaddle, Minch, Oteg, Vandar Tokare, Yoda himself and Grogu.
Most people wouldn't know about 3 of them bc they are from the old republic era hundreds or thousands of years before the current timeline.
Something he’ll probably take to the grave. I wanna believe that one of the stipulations from when he sold the franchise was that only he is allowed yo determine Yoda’s species
For real. For about a week I couldn't wrap my head around it. Grogu? Wtf kind of name is that for the child, he's wonderful, his name should be Elijah, or something nice. Then I got it. It's perfect.
It’s cool that it’s a mystery, but also kind of an annoying thing to have to work around if that ever wanted to explore his species more or tell stories involving them, maybe on their planet.. if it actually was a stipulation, then they’ll probably just avoid ever telling those stories, which is kinda whack. I’d hope George at least just should’ve included a clause that they can reveal it at some point but he just has to sign off on the when and how and what.
Just don't tell stories involving his planet (which actually might be part of his terms). Its not wack, we don't *need* to know these things, Lucasfilm *doesn't* have to tell those stories.
“He’s a frog, the illegitimate child of Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.” -George Lucas
This is to say: we don’t know and we most likely never will. At this point, Lucas has dug his heels in and won’t say. He’s Yoda. He’s Grogu.
By memory it was one of George Lucas' rules that Yoda and his species were always supposed to be mysteries and never revealed. Not sure if Disney will uphold it, but so far they've tempted fate with Grogu, and it paid off extremely well for them.
My head canon is that they are a species that are born from the force, where every so often (probably once every few centuries), one of their kind will be hatched throughout the galaxy. Probably in biomes like Dagobah, a nexus of the force with lots of life. Their "eggs" grow from within some sort of plant life, a random mutation brought about from the will of the Force, in the same way Anakin was born from Shmi without a father. Hence why they have high M counts, and every time we've seen one they have been Jedi Masters. It would also explain why they have no name or culture to speak of, there are rarely more than a handful alive at any given time.
Looking at this comparison, I want to know at what age would Grogu's eyes change to look like Yoda's? Grogu has solid black while Yoda has the pupil, iris, etc.
Sometimes that creature looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about Grogu is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. Everythin’ turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those creatures come in and... they rip you to pieces.
It hasn't been revealed, but a while back I saw a theory that i thought was cool that the species is called "Jedi" similar to the sith pure-blood species
Not revealed yet. We've only seen 3 of them in canon, Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu. Personally I like to think they're the original Jedi species, like how the Sith were a species on a planet that the first Dark Jedi found, Yoda's species are the original species called Jedi
It's apparently never going to be revealed. The original intention with Yoda is that you didn't know anything about him at all. Not his species, his origins, nothing. He entered at the beginning and left at the end. Then the prequels came out. We learned a bit more about him. But beyond that, we still don't know his origins beyond the Jedi Order, and he's still relatively mysterious. My hope is that they never reveal the name of the species, just out of respect for the original idea and whatnot. But to each their own.
There was a Star Wars card game / collectible series. One of the artists/creators of the cards made a card that created back story for Yoda/Grogu’s race. Lucas killed it. In mythology/ story telling there is a “Magical Mystery Man” trope. Yoda (and now Grogu) are Star War’s MMM. In Lord Of the Rings it is Gandalf. Lucas was adamant about there being no backstory to Yoda, Yoda’s planet, race, etc.
Yoda's species is the only official answer we can ever get. Thankfully Lucas made sure Disney could never reveal or explore that part of lore when they bought star wars. We can keep it a mystery.
When Lucas sold Star wars he specifically asked that any information about Yoda's species or something similar is forbiden. I don't know if it was *in* the contract, but it sure is taken seriously as far as I am aware. Lucasfilm can't (or rather since I don't know the details) *shouldn*t* reveal anything about Yoda.
Kind of like the Joker, the mistique makes him intriguing.
I have had a theory for a while that the name of his species is Jedi.
The basis for it was from The Old Republic MMO. In that game, there are full-blooded Sith. The Sith religion started with that race.
So my thought is that Yoda’s race is full-blooded Jedi and that is where the Jedi religion started.
So maybe I should post this in fan theories.
Lucas has not revealed HOWEVER, as we know from the Knights of the Old Republic, the Sith started out as a race of people, and became a following or "Religion".
My theory is that Yoda's species is actually called the Jedi, that they created the Jedi order based off their extreme force sensitivity, over time the word lost it's initial meaning and is now only known as the religion.
This is why no one has ever seen a species like Yoda or Grogu, and seem shocked upon first meeting them, because the Jedi species are all but extinct.
My theory is that they are the jedi pure blood species since yoda, yaddle and grogu all have great power in the force and the reason there is so few of them is because the sith pure bloods killed them of to near extinction
Yoda alluded to his own master once and briefly his own rebellious nature in his youth. It’s theorized that his entire species is inherently strong with the Force, so he keeps his species and home world location a secret to protect them. I always liked the idea that he is from Unknown Regions of space, or else you would have expected the Empire to find more of him.
It hasn't been revealed.
Yup, we don't know. I believe The Child is only the 3rd of the species in star wars lore, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yoda Yaddle Grogu are the only three I know of. I can't remember if it was Yoda or not in the KOTOR games.
That was Vandar Tokare. KOTOR took place about 4000 years before Luke blew up the Death Star.
Even beyond that though we never saw much more of them. As much as legends loved to give background and lore to the tiniest of things that made an appearance in the movies they same as Disney canon kept pretty quiet about todas species.
George was very clear about the fact that he wanted it to be a mystery.
Even better, he said he always thought of Yoda as what Kermit and Ms. Piggy’s offspring would be. Being a muppet played by Frank Oz and all.
If Grogu goes back to his home planet and it’s essentially a muppet planet with Kermit and Piggy, I will take the day off work to stay home and watch the Internet explode.
personally id prefer gonzo and his chicken to be his parents
Save that as a twist for the sequel.
Not that Disney has ever cared about what Lucas wants.
Well, they did give the helm of the franchise to his disciple Filoni, however I'm absolutely not trying to suggest that Disney cares about anything else than dinheiro.
I would not say this has happened yet at least. Filoni has been given a lot of creating power along with Favreau. But those guys had very little to do with the sequel trilogy, unless I am wrong. We wish Filoni has the keys to Star Wars, but he hasn’t taken over the franchise yet, like being in a role like Kevin Feige or something.
They wasn't connected to st in any way, but after that clusterfuck and the overwhelming success of the Mandalorian, I think that they must have gotten all the keys to the franchise
They outright tossed his sequel scripts out after agreeing to use them, so there's that.
That's true, though there is also a chance that they were garbage
They used plenty of his ideas though…
They didn't agree to use them, and they weren't scripts; just a short, rough outline that apparently wasn't all that amazing to begin with.
When someone finishes a perfect english sentence with a Portuguese word in Reddit. xD
he's still got to have some clout with them he owns 2.1% of disney
I don’t think they need to care tbh, he sold it
And i LOVE that. I hope they never delve into it because having some mysteries highly adds to the experience
I still can't understand why no one has done a TV series or movies set in this time line. So many opportunities for storyline and to finally move away from the skywalker saga
Just me personally, I'm so hungry for a grandiose story that is outside of the skywalker saga. Like the sidequests are fine, but we need something completely fresh and heroic.
Hey, as long as it’s on Tattooine, I’ll be happy. /s
You joke but I'm pretty sure you go there in KOTOR, it's where you pick up HK-47 and I think a dragon pearl for your saber.

There's also Oteg in SWTOR

YES that's it. Thank you. I don't even remember where I knew that from hah.
Molded in the darkness, she was
Only adopted the darkness, you did.
When first saw the light I did, already a woman, I was.
[удалено]
She is also mentioned in Jedi Fallen Order.
really? cool what did they say about her
[This scene made me happy while playing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjPbhgJgZdo)
I was seriously hoping they’d stick with the Y name theme for Grogu. Something like Yubu or Yeeba. But Grogu has grown on me.
Lol I wanted him to be called Yinny
Yomama
The wee Yin.
I wanted Yiddle
Is Yaddle Grogu’s mother?
Yoda and yaddle got it on
She yodaled his yaddle alright
Haha 😂 That’s a good one!
Come, Yaddle. On, we must get it.
She wouldn't be sitting on the Jedi Council if she was, given their rules on that sort of thing.
Certain were allowed to especially if their species was rare. It was the emotional connection that was the big no-no. Ki Adi Mundi was one.
TIL. Genuinely didn't know about that.
Yeah Ki Adi Mundi had multiple wives
Really?! Welp that makes me want to rewatch episode one cuz I don’t remember that part. Thx for the info.
the lines were cut
Yup. Made an appearance in Episode 1 in a jedi council seat.
She also has brief appearance in high republic
There are others. https://www.cbr.com/star-wars-every-other-member-of-yodas-species-explained/
don't forget Oteg from SWTOR
[удалено]
You did get to chose his fate iirc, I believe you either told him to retreat or press the attack. Not 100% because it's been a while tho
I want to see yaddle as a main character in a prequel prequel
Oteg too i think
Yoda, Grogu and Yaddle are the only ones in canon I believe. Though there are several others in legends.
Nope he's the 5th or 6th but it depends on if you mean cannon or legend there is Yaddle, Minch, Oteg, Vandar Tokare, Yoda himself and Grogu. Most people wouldn't know about 3 of them bc they are from the old republic era hundreds or thousands of years before the current timeline.
Fun fact. When asked about this, George Lucas has said that Yoda is "A frog", and also that Yoda is the illegitimate child of miss Piggy and Kermit.
lol @ "the *illegitimate* child"
I think the second comment was more about the puppet than the character but who knows with George.
And George Lucas said one of the few rules for star wars is the species of yoda must never be known.
Well, at least he had "rules"...
Rule 1: Someone loses a limb and/or head Rule 2: Someone gets thrown down a really long shaft Rule 3: …….
Profit!
I think they were elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life.
And now they are perfected. My fighting Uruk-Hai.
I like it being a mystery because Yoda comes from a race where they are all strong with the force.
Yoda is a Yoda, and grogu is a Mogwai.
Nobody knows. Lucas never told anyone
Something he’ll probably take to the grave. I wanna believe that one of the stipulations from when he sold the franchise was that only he is allowed yo determine Yoda’s species
Personally I hope it never gets revealed. It’s more interesting if it stays a mystery
I understand that and kind of agree, but also, I want to quench my curiosity (I think)
It will be like drinking from a mirage.
It’ll be like hearing Grogus name for the first time. It will sound wrong at first.
For real. For about a week I couldn't wrap my head around it. Grogu? Wtf kind of name is that for the child, he's wonderful, his name should be Elijah, or something nice. Then I got it. It's perfect.
It’s cool that it’s a mystery, but also kind of an annoying thing to have to work around if that ever wanted to explore his species more or tell stories involving them, maybe on their planet.. if it actually was a stipulation, then they’ll probably just avoid ever telling those stories, which is kinda whack.

Just don't tell stories involving his planet (which actually might be part of his terms). Its not wack, we don't *need* to know these things, Lucasfilm *doesn't* have to tell those stories.
I am pretty sure not e ne George knows what his species is called, he wants to keep it a mistery so he never created them
I take it that even he never knew
He does not and he does not wish to know, he likes the magic and mystery of it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucas doesn’t even know. It’s just a character he made
“He’s a frog, the illegitimate child of Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.” -George Lucas This is to say: we don’t know and we most likely never will. At this point, Lucas has dug his heels in and won’t say. He’s Yoda. He’s Grogu.
Yoda looks like my 75 year old mother. So I’m guessing British.
This explains Yoda's classic line, "Do ah do not, innit then?"
And his excessive use of the word c*nt
That was half the reason why Luke was so eager to leave. After a while, that's just abusive.
It wasn’t the seagulls?
No, it was the hooligans down by the oceans.
They got him in the neck with a hackysack, so Luke left.

That is literally the name in the official guide to species.

Hence why they have high M counts, and every time we've seen one they have been Jedi Masters. It would also explain why they have no name or culture to speak of, there are rarely more than a handful alive at any given time.
Maybe their species are actually macro-sized midichlorians.
Megachlorians.
First they start as midichlorians, then they turn into macrochlorians, and eventually wind up as megachlorians.
LOL people would lose their actual shit if Disney did that, far more than they do now.
there (were) trueborn sith, these are true born jedi
Lucas’s original synopsis for Star Wars was called *Journal of the Whills*. What if Yoda and Grogu are Whills?
Lucas said no to that. The Whills became the Force itself.
What about the won’ts?
They could also be Wouldn'ts
This is why the original name for "The Force Unleashed" was "Triumph of the Whills"
Nope. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Whills
I like that vibe.
I will gladly use this as head cannon.
Looking at this comparison, I want to know at what age would Grogu's eyes change to look like Yoda's? Grogu has solid black while Yoda has the pupil, iris, etc.
It’s all the shit Yodas seen
All the ketamine, yes
Sometimes that creature looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about Grogu is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. Everythin’ turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those creatures come in and... they rip you to pieces.
Jaws ?

The force you must use, eh?
It hasn't been revealed, but a while back I saw a theory that i thought was cool that the species is called "Jedi" similar to the sith pure-blood species
Hu interesting theory
The elusive ketamine frog
Not revealed yet. We've only seen 3 of them in canon, Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu. Personally I like to think they're the original Jedi species, like how the Sith were a species on a planet that the first Dark Jedi found, Yoda's species are the original species called Jedi
They are hairless Wookiees, it’s a rare condition and nobody talks about it because it’s very rude
Wookies with alopecia, but like you said we don’t speak about it.. out of fear of Will Smith.
Fun fact, in Rebels Ezra refers to his Lasat friend Zeb as a "rare hairless wookiee" to trick an Imperial Officer.
It's apparently never going to be revealed. The original intention with Yoda is that you didn't know anything about him at all. Not his species, his origins, nothing.

Not exactly the same with Gandalf since we do know his backstory. He’s a maiar, an angel.
I think he means Tom Bombadil
Wouldn’t it be closer to a character like Tom Bombadil?
With the difference that we know what Gandalf is and where he came from and a bit of who he was.
So we’re never gonna get answers in mandalorian s3 is what you’re saying?
Lucas is only tertiarily involved
Merch. Merchandisis adorablum.
Unknown, it is
Yoda's species is the only official answer we can ever get. Thankfully Lucas made sure Disney could never reveal or explore that part of lore when they bought star wars. We can keep it a mystery.
I don’t think he even created a name for the species
Oh, they're *truck drives past, blaring horn*
Little green men?
Yoda when Luke arrives: "A stranger! From the outside!"
Grogu when the Mandalorian saves him “I have been chosen!”
Yes?
Well, it’s not quite a mop and it’s not quite a puppet, but man… So to answer your question, I don’t know
When Lucas sold Star wars he specifically asked that any information about Yoda's species or something similar is forbiden. I don't know if it was *in* the contract, but it sure is taken seriously as far as I am aware. Lucasfilm can't (or rather since I don't know the details) *shouldn*t* reveal anything about Yoda. Kind of like the Joker, the mistique makes him intriguing.
They're both Guatemalan.

Heard it rumored George Lucas’s said they’re called cashcowesformilkin!
KOTOR had a yoda like character as well
George Lucas said thwy come from a planet called Nunya. It's in the unknown regions bc they are unknown
Yeah definitely not a dumb question most fans would love to know as well lol we may never know
You saw it here first, I hereby predict that they will be the Whills
Yes they are the Yogurt species 😉

Not a dumb question, just one without an answer friend
Gromyulan.
Cover your mouth when you sneeze
That's cromulant.
Shimen tolo
If I remember correctly, on the back of the action card it said: Unknown. For Species
The species was never given a name
It's... hmm... it's green.
George Lucas wanted to keep it a secret because it's a lot more fun if Yoda as a bit of mystery behind him. Disney has kept that up, it seems.
Ketamites
Good Question.
I have had a theory for a while that the name of his species is Jedi. The basis for it was from The Old Republic MMO. In that game, there are full-blooded Sith. The Sith religion started with that race. So my thought is that Yoda’s race is full-blooded Jedi and that is where the Jedi religion started.

This is why no one has ever seen a species like Yoda or Grogu, and seem shocked upon first meeting them, because the Jedi species are all but extinct.
George Lucas said "none ye business".
I think so far it is just called yoda species but that isn't even canonical
Chia pet
Yodi
They’re Filipino. The nose and accent give it away.
Mogwai, or so Gremlins creators will have you believe.
Mogwai apparently
My theory is that they are the jedi pure blood species since yoda, yaddle and grogu all have great power in the force and the reason there is so few of them is because the sith pure bloods killed them of to near extinction
I have no clue. They never say in any movie or show
Yoda alluded to his own master once and briefly his own rebellious nature in his youth. It’s theorized that his entire species is inherently strong with the Force, so he keeps his species and home world location a secret to protect them. I always liked the idea that he is from Unknown Regions of space, or else you would have expected the Empire to find more of him.
The Thrawn novels say they're derpapadoos. One of Thrawn's spies is a derpapadoo who gives up rebel deployments.
Literally the reason people called Grogu Baby Yoda is because nobody knows what the name of his species is.
