We'd see Yoda's master

We've already seen him....

mischief



Master Del Gormo is most likely a veteran of the New Sith Wars, which adds some further interest to possibile stories...

Yeah...but I've made the mistake of thinking it was Yoda too, so don't fret it Katana.

There's a lot of doubt in both directions cast on that particular story. It was originally supposed to be a "young Yoda" story, and indeed the plot outline follows events that were said to have been accomplished by Yoda in the past (Tracking down one of the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi and defeating him in the Cave on Dagobah). However for one reason or another the name was changed And of course, there's the fact that much of "Tales" is dubiously canon at best, unless confirmed elsewhere.

However who's to say "Minch" wasn't a nickname for the younger Yoda? Or a "first name?"

Then again, the whole Bpfasshi Dark Jedi story is seriously contradicted by a statement from Leland Chee, as well. So who the heck knows, now?

Anyway, I think some chronicling of Yoda's earlier days would be very interesting. I'd love to see the evolution of the Jedi from the "Jedi vs. Sith" era into the Jedi Order we saw in the prequel films, and how much of a part Yoda played in that evolution. After all, he was born only about 100 years after the Battle of Rusaan.

But somehow I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Yoda seems to be one character they plan on keeping one of Star Wars' big mysteries for now.

A book or three moving back and forth between a younger Yoda (relative to his age of course, 100 would be pretty young) and perhaps a pre-TPM Yoda might be interesting and easier to pull of than a centuries spanning work. Something like SQ and OF, two time periods link together. Perhaps three books, each split in two between the present and the past.

Yeah...like maybe when Yoda was 100 he had the incident that introduced him to the whole "Only two Sith at a time" bit. How the Jedi had that knowledge yet believed the Sith to be extinct kinda needs to be explained, since the supposed "extinction" of the Sith is when that practice came into being....

I would like to see a book about the Chu'unthor crashing on Dathomir and Yoda leading the rescue mision in 340 BBY. Or how he saved the X'Ting from disaster in 171 BBY.

Bane's order was rediscovered by the Jedi and thought eliminated. The Jedi discovered both the new Rule of Two and the identity of Darth Bane, but did not foresee that the new Sith he had founded would long survive Bane's death. SEE HERE

I don't think I'd like a book spanning his whole life, but I would really like a book set in his time as a Padawan/Knight, as well s his first Master, an aging Valentine Farfalla, His second Master, N'kata Del Gormo, Darth Cognus and Darth Millennial.

That's all well and good, but what's the source for those statements?

I know its shocking but I just find him dull. Nothing about him is cool to me. Leia is my fav and I think always will be. Well her and Aayla. But as for Yoda...eh..he's there. wink

I found it on Wookieepedia. How reliable that may be I don't know.

It's in Abel G. Pena's "Evil Never Dies" Hyperspace article. It says that approx. 150 years before the Battle of Naboo, during the Dark Jedi Conflict, darksider Kibh Jeen spouted mad ramblings about how there were always only two Sith, but few people gave his ranting any credence.

"Since the defeat of Darth Bane over a millennium ago" - Mace Windu, from the RotS novelisation.

That's a source that supports the Jedi eventually uncovering Darth Bane and his rule of two... it also supports that the placing of JvS at exactly 1000 BBY is a little off (Exile notes that Path of Destruction is set in 1020 BBY)

Which is unneccessary, since the RotS novel confirms the whens and hows the Jedi discovered Bane's order. It always seemed kinda silly to me as well. Yoda doesn't say, "Hmmm. That mad dark Jedi said that always two there were, no more, no less... a master and apprentice. We should believe him for no other reason than the fact that we've encountered a single Sith".

His statement implied that the Jedi *KNEW* how the Sith operated since Ruusan.

This is an imaginary story... aren't they all supposed to fit together, though?
An animated cartoon about Obi-Wan and Padawan Anakin would have made more sense.

Yoda as a book? Not really

Would rather have a Yoda-skin rug instead.
