Grogu’s appearance was surprisingly kept a secret until the debut of The Mandalorian. It’s revealed that he was taken from the Jedi Temple when he was even younger, and “The Client” ( Werner Herzog) considers him to be a “rare commodity.” It appears that any members of his species are rare within the galaxy. Since Grogu is around 50 years old, it’s likely that he will have a similarly long lifespan. Grogu’s debut in The Mandalorian didn’t just give Lucasfilm unlimited merchandising potential it confirmed a few details about the abilities inherent to his species. Older Legends material included other Jedi Masters of the same race Vandar Tokare appears in the Knights of the Old Republic comic book, Oteg appears in the MMORPG The Old Republic, a Jedi named Minch appears in the Star Wars Tales short story “Heart of Darkness.” These characters are all virtually carbon copies of Yoda they’re similarly wise, quirky masters of the force who play a leadership role to the younger Jedi. Ahsoka ( Rosario Dawson) even mentions this in The Mandalorian, as she tells Din Djarin ( Pedro Pascal) that every member of this enigmatic race has been a force user. Yoda’s species does appear to be strongly linked to the force. Since she doesn’t appear in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it’s possible that she may have had another encounter with Dooku. While she was initially killed in the “Legends” young adult book Jedi Quest: The Shadow Trap, her death hasn’t been mentioned in the official canon. Yaddle’s role in Tales of the Jedi will be an interesting one.

Yaddle only briefly appears in the film during the scenes with the Jedi Council, but the subsequent novel Cloak of Deception and the Republic comic book series revealed that she speaks with the same “backwards dialect” as Yoda. Yaddle’s appearance in The Phantom Menace marked the first appearance of another member of the same species. George Lucas has claimed that “he’s a mystery character” with “no background.” Despite the introduction of Yaddle in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Grogu in The Mandalorian, nothing about this enigmatic culture has been revealed. While virtually every species, planet, and language from the saga has been cataloged in official reference materials, Lucasfilm has purposefully kept both Yoda’s homeworld and species a secret. “Where does Yoda come from?” is one of the biggest mysteries in the Star Wars saga.

Additionally, the series will feature both the return of Yoda ( Tom Kane) and the animated debut of Yaddle ( Bryce Dallas Howard), a female member of “Yoda’s species.”

One segment is focused on a young Dooku ( Corey Burton) during a mission with his apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn ( Liam Neeson), and the other shows stories from Ahsoka Tano’s ( Ashley Eckstein) life both before and after she joined the Jedi Order. The upcoming Star Warsanthology series Tales of the Jedi tells two interconnected stories about the history of the Jedi Order.
