i lose my shit every time i remember that there’s a female yoda named yaddle
every time i see this post i feel inclined to point out that not only did she exist, but in the expanded universe, when she was only a padawan, she survived over a century in an underground torture chamber using only the force and a wooden stick. she literally became one with the force because she had nothing better to do and the only reason she died was because anakin skywalker got himself captured and she had to absorb a bioweapon into herself to save an entire planet. also she liked to sneak sweets into youngling’s cloaks
yaddle
Yaddle’s death was actually super sad and Anakin blamed himself for it *it was kinda him that started that whole chain reaction tho* but everybody loved her she was like the nice but crazy great grandma of the Jedi order
“The idea is that these wonderful sort of feral creatures had lived on this planet (Crait) and had consumed the planet’s surface, and as such had become crystalline. They live within the burrows and within the tunnels beneath the planet,” Neal Scanlan, head of the Star Wars creature shop, says. “So there is a time where their ability to shine within the darkness, should provide a guiding light to our heroes.”
The creatures were designed by Aaron McBride and Pablo Hidalgo came up with their name from the Latin word for fox, and the name of the fox genus, vulpes and vertices (singular: vertex), or the corners of any polyhedron, a shape assimilated with crystals.
I’d really love to know what the hell Vader was thinking during that pregnant pause after he asks Luke to join him in Empire because Luke just kind of stares at him, says nothing, and then just… falls? Leaving Vader there looking like a total idiot but also wondering what the hell does Luke even think he’s doing?! Only Clone Wars Anakin could have been that extra, all “I’d rather fall into an unfathomable abyss than finish this conversation with you” is such a Skywalker move, so the only thing I imagine Vader really thinking is “Well, he definitely gets that from me.”
Vader: “JOIN ME”
Luke: *falls backward into the abyss*
Vader: … honestly I don’t know what else I expected
