Summary
- Yoda's teaching style focuses on encouraging his students to realize their own capabilities and act on them with confidence.
- The Yoda seen during the High Republic era is notably different from the one featured in the prequel trilogy, suggesting that Count Dooku's fall to the dark side may have affected Yoda's teaching approach.
- Yoda must have seen great potential in Dooku, making his gradual fall to the dark side a deep betrayal that likely shook Yoda to his core and may have influenced his future training methods.
Star Wars confirms why Jedi Master Yoda is such a good teacher, though it's also why Count Dooku's fall to the dark side must have broken the grandmaster. Although Yoda trained countless younglings across his 900 years of life, Dooku was one of the few who became one of his official Jedi apprentices. However, the subsequent corruption to the dark side makes Dooku even more of an exception among Yoda's many students in the Star Wars timeline.
One of Yoda's newest appearances can be seen in the hit kids' show Young Jedi Adventures. Set 200 years before the events of The Phantom Menace during the High Republic Era, the Jedi Order was in a period of great peace and prosperity with Yoda himself dedicating his time to the training and instructions of several Jedi younglings. This includes the new Star Wars show and its leading trio of younglings Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs, and a new episode entitled "An Adventure with Yoda" which shows more of the grandmaster's unique training style.
