Love the darth plagueis reveal because it’s 100% giving the energy of your roommate has a date over and you’re peeking out of your room to see if it’s safe to use the kitchen yet
Is there a canon reason why Yoda talks the way he does but Yaddle doesn’t??? I think I saw somewhere that she has like. Unnatural intelligence for their species but I feel like that also just. Doesn’t Make Sense
STAR WARS CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA (2021) + Fun Facts:
Adi Gallia is respect for her powers of intuition.
Adi Gallia is a valuable intelligence source to Senate leaders, indicating some kind of diplomat to the Senate kind of relation.
Agen Kolar is known to strike first and ask questions later, he is also a valuable member of the Jedi High Council.
Agen is a master swordsmith, not just a highly skilled sword wielder, indicating there’s probably an entire Jedi discipline of sword-making?
“Anakin’s bond with his teacher, Obi-Wan Kenobi, is strong. They make a dynamic team in the Clone Wars.”
Barriss specialized in tandem fighting and used the Force to keep her actions perfectly in synch with her partner Luminara.
Coleman Trebor is the only known Vurk (from an ocean world) to have joined the Jedi Order.
Depa offers an ordered perspective to the wind-ranging minds of her fellow Jedi.
Jedi Master Mace Windu rescued Depa Billaba from space pirates who destroyed her parents. Eventually, Windu took Billaba as his Padawan. Over the years, they have developed a close bond.
“Kenobi has a healthy independent streak and truly formidable lightsaber skills.”
“The bond between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker is strong as they fight through the Clone Wars.”
Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are considered great pilots of the Jedi.
Plo Koon is an awesome fighter and has strong telekinetic powers.
Saesee Tiin has more telepathic powers than most Jedi (who are closer to empathic than anything).
Torgruta Shaak Ti is one of the best Jedi fighters in group combat. Her hollow head montrals sense space ultrasonically, sharping her spacial awareness.
Stass Allie is a formidable warrior, but her talent for battlefield medicine is also impressive. These first-aid skills have saved the lives of troops under her command during the Clone Wars.
Stass Allie and Adi Gallia are cousins.
Yaddle trained Oppo Rancisis.
Yaddle has devoted a lot of time to scholarly interests, and spends much time in the Jedi Archives.
Yarael Poof has a mischievous side and enjoys playing mind tricks on colleagues.
Note: While this book was put out very recently, indicating an intention for these mentions to be canon, I would be careful of taking these as Hard Fact until they’ve appeared in an actual story somewhere (and sometimes they’re already wrong, 2019′s Master and Apprentice shows Qui-Gon was offered a seat on the Council, while this book says he wasn’t). But they are SUPER FUN details to help expand the world in the meantime!
“One with the Force, they are, and our job it is to remember that we will, in time, also pass on. Luminous beings are we, but temporary vessels, our bodies are. And we shall all find ourselves here, in time. A moment of silence, I ask—to remember, and to move on.”
The Jedi in Yoda’s vision of a world at peace say so much about who he is.
I plan on extensively yelling about Yoda’s visions in the immortality arc in the future, but for now please consider this.
Okay, getting this quick remark out of the way: it’s Katooni (the little Tholothian girl) who guides Yoda there. Children are a symbol of innocence, and what’s interesting is that Yoda takes her hand without hesitation after seeing all of the Jedi dead (and specifically Mace, Petro and Ahsoka). Throughout this scene here Yoda is the one asking questions and Katooni is the one answering - she speaks slowly and patiently, almost as if she’s talking to a youngling. –> The embodiment of wisdom manifested to Yoda (in a vision meant to tempt him through his dearest wishes) is a child. Talk about humility.
Now please pay attention to the Jedi in the background.
Here, the three Jedi right in the center of the set are Mace, Ahsoka and Petro - the exact three Jedi Yoda just saw dead and cried over (boy, s6 is so much fun, isn’t it?). So a significant part of Yoda’s deepest dreams is seeing other Jedi safe. He knows how to let go - that’s what this whole scene is about - but he still very much yearns for his fellow Jedi’s safety and happiness.
Onto the even sadder part: have you noticed what’s going on here? Younglings are playing around, and the older Jedi are all talking. Quinlan with Saesee Tiin, Tera Sinube with Gungi, Anakin with Aayla Secura, and Mace with Ahsoka. And not just talking, look at the gif above! Mace is openly laughing at whatever Ahsoka said.
And Ahsoka looks at him like this. (Again, this is right after Yoda’s vision of her dying, desperately asking how the Council could expel her.)
One of Yoda’s greatest hopes is seeing Ahsoka happy with her fellow Jedi, at ease with the embodiment of authority that is Mace.
Yoda loves Mace - he’s the first person he reaches for in the vision of the devastated Temple - and he loves Ahsoka, and part of his greatest temptation? Is to see the rift between the lost child of the Order and its Head healed.
Same thing with Quinlan - the known loose cannon - and Saesee - another Council member. And Tera Sinube is an elder Jedi, talking to a youngling. And Aayla is “just” a Knight, almost a random one, and Anakin is chatting with her.
This follows a pattern: the rogue and the conventional, the very old and the very young, the common and the extraordinary - each pair shows opposites enjoying each other’s company, differences embraced.
(Anakin talking to Aayla instead of sticking to Obi-Wan’s side like he does in the real world is especially interesting - he’s part of the community here, not ostracizing himself like he tends to do. Again, for this to be part of Yoda’s great temptation says so much about how caring he is. He wants Anakin to belong, more than anything.)
And finally, we get this:
(I couldn’t make this part into a gif because of technical reasons, so enjoy the beautiful family picture.)
Once again we find that central theme of healing and wholeness. This part is what convinces Yoda to briefly let go of his (well-founded) doubts and to embrace the vision. It’s his biggest, greatest, deepest desire. The one that could have made him abandon reality itself to stay in this idyllic dream. It’s his unbroken lineage, happy, in the light.
Yoda just wanted them all to be a family. Obi-Wan clearly adores Dooku in this scene (check it out, his awestruck look is amazing), their body language is incredibly warm and open, and they are completely at ease with each other and delighted to be sharing stories. It just screams domestic life.
And that’s it, that’s all Yoda ever wanted. For the young and the old to be content together, a community bathed in light, the gardens filled with the sound of windchimes and the laughter of children. He just wanted to have his family alive and safe and smiling.

Dammit, I love this frog grandpa so much *sobs*
If size is factored by horde size, most dragons would be modest, probably tie fighter sized. Mace would be the biggest, if the concept of the republic translated properly! Yoda the next biggest bc his horde is the whole order. Then Plo is suddenly MUCH bigger than Yoda bc he went from claiming his Padawans and Searched kiddos t the entire GAR.
xD
It's absolutely breathtaking, but i have to wonder.... If most force users in the stainglass have halos (jedi and sith as well) why Obi wan, Ahsoka, Maul, Palpatine nor Shaak Ti has one
STAR WARS CELEBRATION 2020 ART SHOW | OTHER PLACES: The Future. The Past. Old Friends, Long Gone… “Inspired by Yoda’s words to Luke while training him in The Empire Strikes Back, we see Yoda meditating on Dagobah between the prequel trilogy and the original three films. Yoda sees images of characters from not only the Skywalker saga but the entire Star Wars galaxy who are connected through the Force — both the light side and the dark. The images take the form of stained glass, creating a kind of cathedral of the Force.” — Jeff Carlisle
GHOST OBI-WAN VISITING YODA TO CONVINCE HIM TO TRAIN LUKE IS BOTH THE SWEETEST AND MOST HEARTBREAKING THING OH MY GOD
he’s getting flashbacks
Why does rebels yoda look microwaved
They play musical chairs so that they can sit where the sun doesn’t shine in their eyes. Whenever Anakin does something stupid, Obi-Wan wants to be able to give him the Look without having to squint his eyes.
I am absolutely fascinated by this Jedi High Council Seating Chart (from Star Wars Super Graphic) because I’d never really stopped to think about who was sitting in what chair. Some of them stay in their same seats! Like Mace, Yoda, Plo, and Ki-Adi are all in the same seats from beginning to end. Some of them leave the Council for whatever reason, we know Even and Adi died, we don’t know what happened to Yaddle or Yarael. But then there’s like. KIT. WHY ARE YOU IN ONE SEAT IN SEASON 4, THEN TAKE OPPO’S CHAIR IN SEASON 5, AND THEN BACK TO YOUR REGULAR ONE IN SEASON 6 THROUGH REVENGE OF THE SITH? SHAAK. WHY ARE YOU BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE? YOU CAN BARELY KEEP TO ONE? And I am desperate to know if this is a musical chairs situation where whoever gets there earliest gets to choose their seat and do they sometimes deliberately pick another Councilor’s seat when they want to be annoying? Is Shaak picking her seat based on who she wants to nettle today? Are there ALL OUT JEDI MASTER BRAWLS OVER WHO GETS DIBS ON WHICH SEAT OR A FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR THE COMFY CHAIR WITH THE BEST VIEW? Or is there some meaning, like “you sit in chair #6, you’re head of the senate ambassadorial committee” or “you sit in chair #3 and you’re head of the younglings’ daycare” and Yoda parked his ass there in chair #3 and refused to move for decades??? I AM DESPERATE TO KNOW.
Hypothetically, do you reckon that for the younglings that grew up in the Jedi Temple would do like ‘your mum’ jokes except instead it would be ‘your master’?
Like I can fully imagine a random youngling going up to their friend and telling a Your Master joke, and running away giggling menacingly
IMAGINE A YOUNGLING SAYING THAT TO LIKE OBI-WAN YODA OR ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THOUGH
I feel like depending on which council member they’d tell it to, they’d either get a laugh or get banished from the order, there’s no inbetween
It would be so funny though

Then Luke—through mechanisms beyond Din’s conception—maybe the Force allowed jedi to store items in convenient subspace cavities—pulled a live frog out of his pocket. The blue thing kicked its legs in Luke’s gloved hand and Grogu reached for it. Questions ricocheted around Din’s head in a panic. Where did he get that thing? Where was he keeping it this whole time? How is it? Still alive? did he—Magic? Jedi magic?
Yet the only question that managed to stumble out through Din’s vocoder was: “Um. Is that for Grogu?”
“Yeah, it’s for both of us,” said Luke with a small, sunny smile.
No, thought Din quietly.
“You want a snack, Grogu?”
And before Din could look away, Luke’s mouth enclosed around the frog’s small, terrified head and with sharp nod he separated its head from its body. Din sighed in horror. The baby cheered.
“This is how me and Master Yoda used to split lunch back on Dagobah,” said Luke in between the crunch of cartilage. He handed a giggling Grogu the body. “Well, if he thought I worked hard enough that day, hah. And these were more like appetizers.”
How was it still alive? Did you get this from Dagobah? We’ve been away from the ship for two days. How was it still alive? Why does it smell like boiled bantha? Why??
Grogu gulped the body down with little resistance and Luke bounced the child on his hip. “That’ll tide ‘em over until we get back to the speeders. You okay, love?”
“Sure,” said Din. “Yes.”
See sometimes I cry about the fall of the Jedi order. and sometimes I wonder how the hell they even lasted that long.
Example one: the Zillo beast
Because this is the logical train of thought: there’s a giant monster who wants to kill everyone, let’s kill him or put him back in the hole.
But noooo. The Jedi council was smoking something good that day and thought: There’s a giant monster that wants to kill everyone. Maybe we should kill it… nahhhh let’s bring it back to the capital so we can maximize damages. Hopefully it eats the chancellor.
I've always thought if the jedi allow people who don't like the braids to get beads instead, this is now a part of my headcanon
Also Arty is adorable
"Improvement"
Came down with the primal urge to draw Padawan Arty. I recently came up with a new headcanon that when he first joined, he would ALWAYS, without fail, cut off his Padawan braid. He always hated the tackiness and the feeling of one lock of hair having to be longer than the others. So, he would often express his displeasure by chopping it off, even though he knew he wasn't supposed to.
A lot of the older Jedi, especially his Jedi Crechemaster, Tsunodi (haven't drawn her yet) got a bit tired of the trend. Especially since no matter how many times they regrew the hair with special products, or kept him away from scissors, he found a way. Until eventually they decided to give him beads. Which to say the least, was an improvement :]
