Star Wars Just Secretly REVEALED the Origins Of The Yoda Species?!

[@punkrockblader5632]

I think Disney should leave Yoda's species and home world a mystery and not reveal what they are. That's the whole mysticism of Yoda. The fact that we don't know where he's from and what his species is called adds mystery and makes Yoda and Grogu more special.

[@Fireyabyss420]

Even if Disney does try to make b.s lore for yoda's race it wont be cannon due to what George Lucas has said in the past. He will not make lore for yodas race, and any lore that is made via 3rd party is not cannon.

[@pangaeawriter8766]

I like Yoda's species being a mystery. My only disappointment was KOTOR being de-canonized, because we lost another member of the species, Vandar Tokare. However, I doubt that Yoda knew of Grogu's survival. We've seen that Grogu lived in fear for many years. It is not unreasonable to theorize that he did his best to cut himself off from the Force, as Luke did on Ach-To. With nothing to sense, there's no way Yoda could have known Grogu lived. As for a prior relationship, why does there have to be? Just because they're the same species? Knowing Yoda, I doubt he would have treated Grogu any differently from every other padawan.

[@garyfrombrooklyn]

If Grogu speaks in the Mandalorian movie, that theater is going to go crazy, especially if his first words are "This is the Way." As for the Yoda species being important to the founding of the Jedi Order, that would be awesome, like the Sith species' influence on the Sith Order. We will see and hope they do it right.

[@Kalle72]

“The way this is”. 😂

[@davidcassels7312]

Gonna pish my kilt when yoda and grogu comes from earth 🌎. Scotland, irvine on the west coast only. Many Many years ago.

[@teejay1035]

When Grogu speaks, SWT will have another epic sook and his acolytes will follow suit like the bleating sheep most of them are.

[@PatriciaShane-y7i]

@@davidcassels7312 Are you saying they are Scottish goblins? They look the part. And Baylan did mention fairy tales.

[@KirelRed]

The Way! This is.

[@duckymomo6472]

I don’t want that mystery solved. I can almost guarantee I won’t like the direction they take it.

[@EgoChip]

I agree. Only one person should reveal the origin of Yoda's species, that is George himself. Disney should respect that, but I feel they won't. They will keep releasing more and more tidbits until they have spoiled it for everyone with some ridiculous story that makes no real sense.

[@duckymomo6472]

@ yep, couldn’t agree more

[@aramisone7198]

Its sometimes better not to solve a mystery and allow the imagination to do the rest .

[@DaleESkywalker]

I've always wanted that mystery to remain. However, they could tell the story in my head, which would leave Yoda's species origin a mystery, but give (people who want it) a place for Yoda to call home.

[@kevthepoet]

Same. If Lucas wanted it to be a mystery I want it to stay a mystery unless or until he decides to change his mind 😤

[@djmikio]

I know folks who were totally done with Disney-era Star Wars, and had stopped paying attention to anything newer than their Rebels DVDs, who then jumped back in solely because of the contagious Grogu-fever that swept fandom during Mando Season 1. I hope Disney realise how precious Yoda's species is to fans and never do anything to mess with the magic surrounding them.

[@stephenmccagg]

They already did, but no one caught on... the name Grogu... the instant I first heard it I was disappointed. Doesn't Grogu sound like Grow Goo... Doesn't that sound like a product you would find being advertised on pornhub or some other internet porn warehouse site? I'd guess watitti came up with that one...

[@kevthepoet]

If Lucas wanted it to be a mystery I want it to stay a mystery unless or until he decides to change his mind 😤

[@DaleESkywalker]

Yoda and Anakin had no beef until the sand sculpture reveal...

[@michaelhanley5808]

I remember in the 90s between trilogies and before of the internet was really big I subscribe to Star Wars Galaxy magazine and the Star Wars Insider and at the time I felt like I was the only person in the world who knew anything about Star Wars

[@arsenalraven]

Great video, well done. :) That being said, one of my biggest pet peeves in Star Wars for decades is the super common simultaneous assertion that Yoda's entire species is extremely force sensitive and that we know nothing about them and have only EVER seen three or four of them. So for all we know the Yodite(?) species could be, say, barely sentient fungal colonies that over decades can learn to form a humanoid shape and advanced collective intelligence and we have just seen some of the top examples of that colony, or a mass of force-sensitive spiders inhabiting the skin sack of a green Jawa, or an offshoot of some messed up Sith experiment a thousand years ago, or a really lost free house-elf. I'm not saying they ARE, I'm highlighting our ignorance of the species. Those we know of are exceptional individuals in their own right by any standard, and it's weird to think "well the whole species must be that strong." It feels like seeing one of the Harlem Globetrotters and being like "everyone from Harlem is extremely strong in the ball skills, though no one has ever been to, seen, or even knows if Harlem is a real place, they are clearly a much ballin' people". XD

[@adrialwrecker]

I wonder if Grogu will talk in Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu series, that would be very surprising.

[@dianesinger9729]

I always loved the mystery of Yoda

[@anessamer]

I think the Yoda species are from beyond the known limits of Star Wars as we know it.

[@davidbeetham4891]

Keep the yoda species background a mystery.....

[@brx8r]

google images a creature called a Massassi warrior. They're huge red goblins, but there's just enough of a resemblance to wonder if they're related.

[@davidcassels7312]

Earth'. Thats the correct answer.

[@Dr.GrahamSuperstar]

In my personal telepathic scanning of the multiverse, in some realities, Yoda exiles to Dagobah in order to protect it’s “illuva-tar” there from Sith predation. But Vader does extract “illuva-tar” causing Yoda’s eventual death in “Return of the Jedi.” The illuva-tar is taken to Sidious, who uses his lightning power to turn the divine muck into four man-shaped “Adam Sith” who will use their powers to help enable the birth of the last Lord of the Sith, Michael Star-Warrior!

[@isaackim7675]

The sand sculpture would make Anakin cringe.

[@davidcassels7312]

He comes from Scotland. 😊

[@kamotrof]

They need to stop. George specifically said no one knows…or should ever know.

[@Fuzzmo147]

Yet George gave them artistic licence to do so……… He sold it to them.

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

My suggestion to "The Mandalorian and Grogu" would be that they find clues to his homeplanet, and instead of working for the republic, they go looking for it. Perhaps they let a convict free so that he can show them the right way. That leads to them beeing hunted by the Republic, by remnants of the empire and by pirates too. In the end they find the planet, hidden behind dark clouds or a forcefield or in a subspace anomaly🖖. And Grogu speaks his first words when Din is leaving to fight Thrawn.

[@bjmcmahon722]

💡..!

[@micah9794]

There is no origin of Yodas species. George Lucas said he wants that to remain a mystery. So it will be for me, I'm good to not have everything explained

[@baker-h6q]

Never the less they seem rare. When darkness rises great light rises to meet it. So maybe they are just an anomaly.

[@jamesjukebox2386]

He is a mystery, leave things to the imagination.

[@leonardomarengoni9650]

What if Yoda appears as a Force Ghost to Grogu in the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie?

[@michaelsullivan3581]

I stand in awe, always!

[@EgoChip]

I like your idea that this species is created out of the force itself, I too have always had a similar theory since The Mandalorian. It's like a cyclical thing, each cycle has a Yoda-type being, who oversees it to its end. Then a new one is born. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Palpatine was aware of this, which is why he was so confident his plans would work. However, this theory doesn't explain Yaddle. So it's probably a load of rubbish. But that's the thing about mysteries, they keep you guessing and it's often always better than the truth which can be mundane.

[@mkhud50n]

It’s like the reincarnation of the Dali Lama in Buddhism.

[@aramisone7198]

I think its better to let it be a mystery but if someone does come up with anything let it be George Lucas.

[@davidcassels7312]

Definitely Scotland.

[@ULYSSES-31]

Yoda was trained by a Thark

[@nichlaschristensson1055]

I love the Yoda species, and the mystery around them. I hope it stays that way. I belive they are all force sensitive, maybe because their homeworld has a strong connection to the force. But that they are created by the force, can work as well I guess. I don't think Filoni should tamper with the backstory of the Yoda species, just let it be

[@futuramayeah]

meg, in the movie E.t. we saw that et comes from the same planet as yoda

[@kevthepoet]

No. No we did not. He just seemed to recognise the species but ET could clearly travel so maybe he met them elsewhere. Plus that was just a little joke with no explanation until Lucas put ET species in Attack of the Clones which retroactively canonised them being in the same universe. But the planet of the Yoda species has always been a mystery and to my limited knowledge the ET species also remains somewhat a mystery in both ET and Star Wars. I'd be interested to hear if any books canonised the ET species further.

[@dawnkladerman598]

Utidiiiiiii 🎉❤😂

[@Messi1dagoat]

Neat video Meg. I lied the mystery around the yoda species but I would like a name for them.

[@davidcassels7312]

Grogu is from irvine, Scotland.

[@iamtheJEST]

I listened to this book on audible and remember the part about his master 😮

[@GodspeedSuperbeast]

Finding out Dave Filoni has been part of the problem for twelve years

[@bjmcmahon722]

Oh yes.....yes.

[@kevinst.pierre4413]

💯. He’s a yes man.

[@PreppingWithSarge]

I mean… Yoda eats snakes… maybe he doesn’t want people to know what REALLY happened to his Master 😬

[@chantony2602]

I really think it’s better to just let it remain a mystery

[@angelasaunders3558]

I still would love to keep the mystery of Yoda’s species ❤ this helps keep the magic of Star Wars alive.

[@carolbriscoe9337]

I'd rather not know Yoda's origins and species. Somethings are better by remaining a mystery.

[@vestarakhai5303]

If anyone is going to reveal Yoda's species it should be Lucas not Disney

[@rachelprighel4409]

Of course they did absolutely

[@rachelprighel4409]

Absolutely makes sense always

[@Maikigai]

Star Wars did not. Disney did. There official SW stance (a.k.a. George Lucas) is that it’s a mystery.

[@futuramayeah]

i thought he was related to gizmo, who we also dont' know where he comes from

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

I hope we nkata del gormo in Star Wars Canon movie or TV series or a flashback of him

[@blawrence2496]

Yoda is the 🐐 GOAT..

[@bjturon]

The Yoda species arise spontaneously sporadically from bowls of Syril Karn's favorite blue milk cereal, like Venus from the Sea, but more with more green skin then blonde hair 😁

[@DayneWilson-y3p]

They should make Yoda: a star wars story movie. Maybe we can see Yoda's force ghosts and Luke Skywalker meeting Ezra Bridger for the first time in Ahsoka season 2 and the mandalorian movie.

[@schroder1972utrecht]

Well Joda was ment to be a frog, these can change sex, maybe Joda laid an egg and voilà, grogu is born

[@rachelprighel4409]

So do I

[@davidcassels7312]

Yes i agree Meg , 🌎 is the births of. Yoda , yaddle and grogu,. Irvine centre hospital, Scotland, many years ago .

[@davidlongoria6304]

The Yoda Must remain a mystery, George lucas kept it that way for a reason, Even Liam Nessson Has said disney's diluting much of the mystery of star wars, and the jedi ,

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks Meg👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍂🍁🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@darlenedowie8042]

I loved this video. Master Yoda and Grogu are one of my favorites in Star Wars.

[@Seren2010kinder]

If George didn’t say it then it’s not canon. Simple as that

[@edwardkurtz1197]

We don’t need to know the origin of all the creatures in Star Wars

[@ianhenry1031]

Hi Meg, awesome video on Yoda and I am glad Yoda species is a mystery it makes them more exciting, thank you SWM

[@johnmcdougald1238]

Grogu's no mystery. Yoda Yaddle Easy answer............

[@PatriciaShane-y7i]

Disagree. If this was so, Yoda would have at the very least had an investigation into what happened to Yaddle. And instead of running to hide, he would have followed Grogu's trail, and found him before he ( Grogu) became so traumatized.

[@themaxreboexperience5221]

Dark drinkers?

[@rachelprighel4409]

Always

[@dazester]

Just sayin and if grogu is about to turn to the dark side..... ?!?!?

[@GodspeedSuperbeast]

Honestly other than your view on Gina I think Disney should be asking you for advise.

[@lasgalon]

Haven't been up to date with any of the Disney cannon stuff for a couple of years and I'm surprised to hear that Mando is getting a 3rd season even with how popular it is with the new trend of streaming services canceling shows after 2 season at most no matter how popular they are

[@rayswiatek5948]

No they didn't

[@virisanctusvirisanctus7526]

Yoda respected his masters wishes to be left unknown. Hence, the rose.

[@matthewjay660]

When I was 4 years old, my parents took me to see "Empire Strikes Back." My mom told me that I cried for Yoda in the theater. She said I told her I was crying because "Yoda's alone." (Luke had just left Dagobah to confront Vader.)🥺😢 Yoda. Yoda! 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

[@Jaydo]

"No. There is another." It doesn't feel like that was about a Skywalker anymore.

[@traymoore9470]

Gorge is probably pissed. I thought I read somewhere that they were not supposed to reveal Yoda‘s origin, and agreed to that upon purchasing Star Wars.

[@DaleESkywalker]

How do I open this in a new tab if I've closed the pop-up again??? 🤣

[@jrocketc1]

What if Yoda had a dalliance with the Dark Side in his youth, much the way Anakin did. And perhaps Yoda even went so far as to kill his Master, in the Sith tradition. But unlike Anakin, he did not stay committed to the Dark Side and instantly regretted his actions. Would bring a whole new perspective to Yoda's understanding of the Dark Side and the Force. Remember, 900 years is a long time. I can't imagine that Yoda didn't dabble in the Dark Side, at least once, especially in his youth.

[@zanebarrett23]

Everyone says they want to keep Yoda's species a mystery, but at the same time they lap up every little crumb of explanation there is. I for one, hate keeping things a mystery forever. I want to know the answer to everything and I am not ashamed of admitting it. Plus it feels like lazy writing. "I don't have an answer for this part of the story, so I'll just say it's a mystery". A mystery that is slowly revealed over time, drip by drip, is fun, but to simply say there will never be an answer, so don't bother to speculate, sucks.

[@lorenzomartin6127]

I’m personally with that myself

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

Also, if he was really the Jedi master of Yoda, that means he was even much more powerful and stronger than him, and even much more powerful and stronger than Palpatine master also guys is there a chance a small chance of miracle? The acolyte can come back not in the same name, but in another TV series or movie in the future to finish it. What it started that’s all we’re asking nothing more nothing less to all of you out there who is a true Star Wars fan like me who don’t care about ratings or. How people make it?

[@DarthDesolous]

I would like for them to eventually flesh this out in the Mandalorian Grogu movie or group of movies. When Grogu gets all of his memory back from the dark times, maybe that’ll trigger something in him that would lead the Mandalorian and him to their home planet. I will be willing to bet that their home planet is extremely Strong with the force and it’s probably in the unknown regions as far as Yoda’s master I would like to know the many masters Yoda had. Because if he ages like Grogu does it would take several masters to teach him. Because it seems like if Yoda is 10 years old, he acts like a one-year-old and so on and so forth in human evolution. His species evolved slower over time as far as from adolescence to adult. Maybe now after I said that that’s why Yoda is keeping his whole world secret because his species could be misconstrued non-sentient and killed off for sports. Who knows that I like for them to flush it out.

[@thomaswakefield6889]

Grogu couldn't have been born at the same time as Anikin Skywalker. By the time of the Madalorian, Grogu's bounty marker was already 50 years old. This puts the marker just before the start of the Clone Wars, and since Grogu was already at the Jedi Temple before the war, that puts Grogu's age around 70-75 years of age. Anakin/Darth Vader died roughly around age 45, considering he was around 9/10 when the clones wars began and roughly around 23 when it ended.

[@renesrelics]

[@marvenlunn6086]

They came from another galaxy

[@darthslagle5979]

A really dumb assumption to say all of Yoda's species are force sensitive. How would you know that? There are only 3 shown in SW canon. And the reason you see them as force sensitives is they are part of the Jedi order. Reall dumb statement. You mighty want to take that one back.

[@philmicklewright1508]

😂 calm down bro

[@ShiestyTv0]

My head canon is they are created in a similar way anakin was but not to similar i feel like there needs to be atleast one of those species alive to bring wisdom for both sides of the force because they live a real long time there like like a living library of the force

[@karlanderson6149]

[@ericnorth7032]

Has anyone postulated the idea that Grogu could somehow be an offspring.of Yoda?

[@stammetje123]

IMHO it won’t bring me any value to know the species of Yoda. I think it’s hopefull Lucasfilm made the right choice to include the OG/EUmaster of Yoda. More in line with better stolen then badly imagined as a dutch proverb goes. There’s probably a better English one with the same meaning but I am not a native speaker. But you catch my drift. Wish they had chosen this path earlier, say by doing a more Zahn-like Thrawn and a real Sith-based series in line with the Plagues-novel. Oh no that would be serving your customers with what they’d wanted and not alienating them by calling them bigots or racists or mysochondrists. That’s a much more sensible way to run a company.
