iheartskins Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 That's too bad code. I'd love to learn more about Yoda considering he's such a great character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChocolateCitySkin Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/yoda/?id=eu Yoda Stuffs: When Yoda was 700 years old, he served on a council of Jedi Masters instructing new students aboard the massive Jedi training vessel Chu'unthor. The starship crashed onto the planet of Dathomir. The Jedi Masters attempted to free the vessel from its swampy confines but they were repulsed by the Dathomirian Nightsisters. Much of Yoda's history is unknown. Just prior to the dark times that accompanied the fall of the Republic, Yoda trained the Gannathan royal King Empatojayos Brand in the ways of the Force. Another student of his was the powerful and stern Qu Rahn. Another tale of Yoda's past involves stopping a swath of destruction cut by Dark Jedi from Bpfassh. One of these dark siders had gotten as far as Dagobah, were Yoda bested him in direct confrontation. The Bpfasshi Jedi died, his dark Force absorbing into and twisting a nearby tree -- forming a dark side nexus. It is believed that Yoda chose Dagobah as his hiding place due to the dark side energies emanating from the tree. From a distance, Force-users like the Emperor would not detect Yoda since the master's bright light side presence would be canceled by the Bpfasshi dark side presence. Like all the Jedi, Yoda became a General in the Clone Wars, leading swarms of Republic clone troopers into battle against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was a tumultuous time for the Jedi. Some Jedi, disagreeing with the politics behind the war, left the order in protest. Recognizing that dissension in the Jedi ranks would make the order look weak to both the public and its enemies, Yoda was gravely concerned by these turns of events. Though Yoda was more widely known as a sage instructor who stayed mostly within the Jedi Temple, he saw frontline combat action during the Clone Wars. He led troops into the field atop a loyal kybuck steed, leading the charge against the Separatists. On Axion, the diminutive Jedi Master defeated a missile-laden hailfire droid with his wits and the power of the Force. Yoda was also instrumental in easing the strained diplomatic relations between the Senate and the Wookiees, keeping Kashyyyk within the Republic during the conflict. Early in the Galactic Civil War, Alliance historian Major Arhul Hextrophon was researching stories about the Jedi Master when he came across evidence of Yoda's existence at the University of Charmath. Hextrophon voyaged to Dagobah, where he met Yoda. Yoda was about to erase Arhul's mind of any knowledge of the Jedi Master when he had a change of heart. Instead, he swore Arhul to secrecy, and let him depart. Aside from logging it in his personal journals, it is believed Hextrophon has not told a soul.

Mickalino Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 More Yoda stuffs : Yoda last got laid when he was 623 years old. And he last impregnated a female when he was 611 years old. The Force was strong and potent enough to impregnate her with quintuplets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 According to Lucas himself, Yoda is the long lost offspring of Miss Piggy and Kermit. If that doesn't keep you up at nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that Yoda was a Whill, as in that was his race, but I've heard that the whole Whill concept was dropped by Lucas and the official site does list Yoda's race as unknown.

ArmchairRedskin Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Yeah SW was originally called the "Journal of the Whills" and Yoda was supposed to have represented that race. Lucas eventually dropped that idea and formed the whole "force" concept. The SW movies are basically told through the eyes of R2D2 and C3PO.
