Yoda vs the Dark Jedi at Dagobah. The novel that must be made

Seriously this is one tale that must be made for a novel. Its been mentioned many times such as mentioned in Heir to the Empire

The story is simple. Its set during the Clone Wars, a Bfashi Dark Jedi running amok and Yoda has to face him alone. Both of them arrive on Dagobah and an intense battle goes on which leads to the tree and Yoda slays the dark jedi which results in the dark jedi's dark energy releasing on Dagobah.

Who do you think the author should be to write this novel? Tim Zahn as usual or some other author?

 

Even though I feel something like this would work better in comic form, if it had to be novelized, Stover's the man for the job.

 

I'd definitely be interested in this or ther Yoda adventures in novels.

 

No to Stover.

Only either Timothy Zahn can write this novel or James Luceno if James Luceno does it right.

The novel is mostly a Yoda novel set during the clone wars and Yoda and the council learn about some dark jedi rebel running amok and Yoda senses much of the dark side in this person and only he can take him on. Then it would be cool if the dark jedi killed a few separatists because he felt like it or whatever. Then Yoda in a jedi starfighter made for him chases after the dark jedi in space shooting at each other and then both of them going to Dagobah. They have an intense lightsaber battle and of course a few Force ability tests of strength or whatever. Then the end of the battle ends at the tree and the cave where the dark jedi's energy is released. Then Yoda leaves and before he gets back in his little ship he has a vision of the future where he sees his own future on Dagobah. Then he goes back to Corascaunt and has a discussing with the Council. Since Heir to the Empire does mention that this battle on Dagobah took place during either the Pre-Clone Wars or the Clone Wars then Obi Wan and Qui Jonn are with the Council to hear about Yoda's fight witih the Dark jedi rebel from Phashi or whatever the Phashi however its spelled

 

And now you see the lovely irony in my "Mara's origin" thread, because I don't really want to see a whole novel surrounding this. A short story or a comic, maybe.

Edit: Kendo - "Bpfasshi".

 

Hm, wasn't that encounter retconned recently or something? I think the recent Essential Guide to the Force had something about it, or maybe it was another source. I think it was that Essential Guide- when it came out, I think there was a discussion about that Bfashi Dark Jedi and Yoda or something, or maybe it was just more timeline issues (since just about any early reference to the Clone Wars needs some timeline adjustment at least).

I don't actually own the guide, though, since I didn't much care for it, so perhaps someone who owns the guide could give a better answers. Or maybe I'm mixing up retcons who knows.

Otherwise, I don't really see the whole Yoda-Dark Jedi-Car'das thing requiring a novel. Maybe a short story or even a comic, but not really a whole novel.

 

Sometimes backstory should just stay backstory.

 

I don't see how you could write a novel based around one short battle between two people. A short story maybe, but a novel? Seriously? I actually like it the way it was told by Car'das in VOTF. It just made the whole thing feel epic and made me love Yoda even more. Best left alone IMO.

 

LOL didn't you say "I want to see good books. Those books could conceivably be about any number of things; taking any whole category of topics and saying "these aren't worth making books about" is myopic and silly."

 

You could make a good book about it, I'm just uninterested in this as a starting point - there are enough Dark Jedi stories in the Clone Wars.

 

I can see a novel truthfully because it is more than a short battle between two people. There were a group of Jedi that went Dark, did somethings that made the Bpfasshi hate all Jedi, and then were eventually brought to justice after a few made it to the Sluis sector and one on Dagobah.

 

Like Darth Pleagius some things are left untouched and this is one of them. This borders on suckiness if they do this. Not every single moment needs to be made into a novel or comic book. I'm more for new ideas

 

A novel on the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi Uprising is something I could see, but not solely the "Yoda vs. Single Bpfasshi Dark Jedi" battle that this thread implies. Even then, I don't think it's something that necessarily needs to be made into a novel. It would still work better as a short story or a comic mini-series (sorta like the Acts of War comic about the Yinchorri uprising) but it really isn't something that needs to be made. There are dozens of other stories that would be better in novel form and have enough mystery to them to warrant a good story.

 

The only thing I can recall from the EGTTF (haven't read it in a while) is the picture of Yoda and a dark Jedi. The caption mentions that it was the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi. I don't think it was retconned.

 

The book would only be 2 pages (if that). If it is canon that a darksider ran into Yoda on Dagobah, Yoda would've decapitated the weaker force user within seconds.

 

Yoda's never been to Dagobah before RotS, silly.

 

Has GL actually said that? The RotS novel just said it was an unfamilar swamp and I took that to mean he just hadn't been to that part of the planet before.

 

It's actually from the screenplay.

"The pod has landed, and YODA descends the ramp, surveying the unfamiliar terrain." (Revenge 45:236)

 

Is there an echo in here?

 

It is in the novel, though.

"On the jungle planet of Dagobah, a Jedi Master inspects the unfamiliar swamp of his exile..."

 

Guess if you have been to a planet just to fight a Dark Jedi, you should be familiar with it all then .

 

Are you questioning the Keeper's wisdom on this matter?

 

The guy who said Tartakovsky's portrayal of Force powers was accurate, right before TCW stomped all over it?

Yes.

 

Be nice.

Go read Heir to the Empire and this novel was written years before Revenge of the Sith. Plus Yoda traveling to Dagobah in his little pod in the deleted scene doesnt count anyway.

On page 100-110 Luke and Leia talk about the Bfassithingamobob Dark Jedi rebel rogue duking it out with Yoda on Dagobah. Plus I think there was alot more going on before they landed on Dagobah. Some other stuff had to happen on Corascaunt too.

I know this since I just read those pages hours ago today

 

First you start a thread saying HttE needs to be updated bacuse it's "out of date" or whatever. Now you use it as a primary source in an argument, and call another member a moron.

Nice.

Anyways, official continuity says Yoda never went to Dagobah before RotS, as in the scene in the novel and the deleted scene.
