Summary
- Yoda's species has been a mystery since his introduction in The Empire Strikes Back, and creator George Lucas has been cryptic about their origins.
- Only three members of Yoda's species are known in the Star Wars canon: Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu (baby Yoda).
- All known members of Yoda's species have shown strong abilities in the Force, suggesting that they all have the ability to wield it, and they are drawn towards the light side. The Mandalorian may explore more about their origins in future seasons.
Yoda's species is one of the greatest mysteries of Star Wars – but just what do we already know about the alien beings? Thus far, across the vast history of Star Wars’ universe, only three members of the species have been highlighted. This makes the race undoubtedly one of Star Wars’ biggest mysteries, especially considering the abundance of other species within the galaxy that are seen regularly. As it turns out, this mystery stems from Star Wars' creator himself after George Lucas banned Yoda's species from exploration in the franchise, including upcoming Star Wars movies.
