I also figured that if Grogu was the son of Yaddle and/or Yoda, it would be for the reason you mentioned - their species is not only rare, but (as far as we know) generally strong in the force. In my opinion, Grogu is unlikely to be the result of a "passion" between Yaddle and Yoda (or either of them with another of their species), but intended by them as an addition to their species and a gift to the future of the Jedi Order, to be raised in the temple.
Ki-Adi Mundi has four wives because his species are rare, and he is actively helping add to the population, so based on his case, the idea that Grogu could have been Yaddle or Yoda's child could be for the same reason.
Re Grogu. One theory I’ve been playing with is that he is actually more intellectually advanced than is shown. It’s fully possible that the trauma of order 66 and his subsequent captivity caused him to retreat in his mind into “infancy” as a time when he was “safe” when actually he was/should be the equivalent of a human 8-9yo. Still a child but more developed than is shown. The feelings of safety he’s getting being with daddy Din is allowing some of that knowledge and maturity to return.
Ep 6 was my fav. At the end is where she grows and understands that while she is not Jedi, she is a warrior of the light and begins wearing the moniker of Fulcrum.
Tales of the Jedi lived up to expectations. My favorite episode was 5. I loved watching how long Ahsoka was training at that particular exercise. Ahsoka's flip at the end was poetic especially since we saw her use that move during Order 66.
Yeah it definitely did, my favorite was the the one when Dooku and Qui Gon went to that village were the son of the senator was taken and also the last one with Ahsoka and the Inquisitor but they were all amazing.
Right! I Loved how Anakin pointed out droids are easy to counter and predictable, which made me wonder about Luke’s Mandalorian cameo. Anakin saved Ahsoka by pushing her in her training against the clones and when compared to the other Jedi; they were not ready for the unpredictability of the clones during Order 66. Ahsoka was well prepared and I loved that
Bryce Dallas Howard as Yaddle was perfection, literally would have never realized it was her if I didnt know she was playing her! Besides Dave, I have to say Bryce is my favorite director at Lucasfilm she just has a genuine warmth and earnestness about her that's so heartwarming. Tales of the Jedi Episode Ranking Episode 4 was my favorite simply because it took place during and after Phantom Menace! Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 1 Episode 6 Episode 5 And mind you, all the episodes were 10/10 for me!
Yes Bryce is awesome she's Ron Howard's daughter she should be so awesome,,, she grew up loving movies and she's a part of that Star wars generation of the seventies
It was mine too! Her Yaddle voice is exactly how I pictured her: wise, ethereal, but somehow earthy and real. It was like a good sorceress or fairy character like the Three Good Fairies in Sleeping Beauty or Fin Raziel in Willow.
It seemed like Yaddle really wanted to help dooku and team up with him too fight Darth shittiest sidious Paducah already had too much of the dark side in him and fear Darth sidious where Yaddle seem like she did not fear anyone
The theory that yoda and yaddle conceived Grogu because their species is so rare is actually very believable. I hope we get an answer soon and I think we will by Mando season 4
Yeah. I mean like a testube baby conceived in a lab would be the most believable and fitting. If that was an official Jedi sanctioned birth as well it would partially explain why Moff Gideon much later would be hunting down Grogu for tests etc. Information about grogu would probably be easy to find in Republic/Empire archives. And we know how much the emperor was hunting force sensitive children and lost Jedi and Padiwans etc. VERY BELIEVABLE.
I loved all 6 episodes! They were terrific. The stories were straight to the point, intriguing and emotional. The animation and music were spot on. I think the Yaddle episode might be my favorite too. I hope we get more of these little shorts in the future. Focus on 2 other characters and how their little known back stories progress through the timeline!
While I enjoyed immensely all six episodes, Ahsoka is one of my all-time favorite characters. It was a real treat to see her earliest time period,Not to mention her strength in the Force. WOW Child!!
They can do so much more with the Tales of the Jedi. If I was asked to make some episodes here is the stories that I would pick: 1. Palpatine and Darth Plagueis 2. Yoda and his master 3. Dooku discovering Asaijj Ventress for the first time 4. Asaijj Ventress vs Anakin (their first ever encounter) 5. Showing more Jedi survivors from Order 66 6. Introducing characters from the Old Republic era: Darth Revan Meetra Surik Visas Marr Just some ideas.
The original clone wars mini series showed how Dooku discovered Ventress. It also showed Ventress, and Anakin’s first encounter. Though not sure if it is still cannon.
2. I do not think this will happen, as it would go against Lucas's "keep Yoda mysterious" belief. However, you know what I would love to see? The story that the Ollivander-droid mentioned in Clone Wars, the tale of Yoda getting his first kyber crystal as a padawan, which was hinted to be very eventful!
Hmm. Even if Yaddle was Grogu's mother, we cannot forget that she was also a Jedi-complete with all the trappings that entails, including wariness of attachments and the fear it embodies. She would do the right thing regardless of any other implications, trusting the force to sort those out. I'm in the it's possible (but I truly hope not) camp. I hope Filoni can resist.
Loved it as a whole. I thought the first episode was...okay...but then the rest of the series was amazing. It's so odd to think of Dooku being for social justice in the beginning. Had they used that route with Anikan, I would have understood why he suddenly saw the Jedi as evil. At any rate, BDH did a great job with Yaddle, and it was definitely sad to see her go. But I think the part in the series that got me the most misty-eyed was the one that ended with Ahsoka and Rex. It made me chuckle every time she would get stunned it training, and then jumping forward, showing us that she would never have survived Order 66 had Anikan not been so hard on her, yeah, I definitely got choked up. And OMG, they recreated Padme's funeral perfectly. I was amazed.
I loved Tales of the Jedi so much. IDK why a bunch of the episodes were so emotional for me but it must just be because of my love for Clone Wars and Rebels. The Sith lord is my favorite episode. I loved seeing Yaddle and Qui-gon. Seeing that side of Yaddle was just a treat. If it was for Sidious in his ear I think he may have recognized her conflicted views she also has with how the Jedi order had been operating and maybe had a chance at redemption. Next would be the last one with Ahsoka. I love how it connects how she reconnected with Bail and became Folcrom. I love that they showed the transition of her montrals and head tails to be like in Rebels and I really loved that she was going by the name Ashla. The episode before that was my next favorite because it ultimately was just showing the training she got that ended up saving her during order 66 in the Clone Wars. Talk about poetry.
It is indeed very sad that just as her character is fleshed out and given a voice, Yaddle has to die. However... She went out like a true Warrior, Light side all the way. She most likely isn't really gone, though. Three words: Force Ghost Yaddle ! I sincerely hope it's being considered. I like to think we haven't seen the last of this awesome character.
I LOVED this series; I give it a solid 10/10 if not 15/10. I wish we got more episodes in this series, but I hope they make more of them. My favorite episode was episode 4 with Yaddle, and I cried a little when they showed Ahsoka at Padme's funeral, I had hoped that we got to see Ahsoka make her iconic white lightsabers at the end of the series, but either way every episode was great.
I believe that there was a licensing agreement with Lucas Films and Disney at the time of the purchase and there wasn't to be any backstory/origin story to Yoda which I think would encompass Yaddle and Grogu. I don't imagine that we will ever see any more past experiences besides order 66 with Grogu unfortunately.
I loved this series! The animation was excellent! I wonder if the next season of The Manolorian will give us more of Grogu's backstory? I'm not sure if he is related to Yoda or Yaddle, but it would make sense if he was.
When Yaddle tells Dooku to come back with her, he tells her he can't. I took that as the same as when Luke tells Anikan/Vader to come back with him and Anikan/Vader says "you don't know the power of the dark side". Don't remember where I heard it, but the Vader line is almost like he's pleading with Luke, that he can't leave the dark side on his own and maybe that's what Dooku is telling Yaddle that he can't, that he needs help. and because she misunderstood, she couldn't help him. I could be way off, but that's the way I'm taking that comment. Dooku may well have wanted to leave the dark side, but couldn't.
Now we know about Yaddle. Interesting seeing her and her story of her end. Loved seeing Mace Windu and I know you loved it as well. Love all the Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu info. I loved all of the episodes.
My favorite point in the argument would when Grogu choses between being a Jedi or Mandalorian. Choosing between two father figures. 1. A shield givem to him by a Mandalore who treats him like family and a son, and pushes him to find his way, whether with him or not. 2. A lightsaber that belonged to his potential father who was never there. And even after order 66 never searched for him or treated him like a son. Gives another side to why he wouldnt want to be like a Jedi.
Tales of the Jedi was absolutely amazing. Best Star Wars we’ve gotten since the clone wars. All the episodes were 10/10 except one and even that one was still above an 8
Agreed.There were at least 10 people shooting that giant tiger when it had Ahsoka,and not one shot landed.I could see if they were storm troopers,because we all know they can't shoot for ****.😀
I also think Dooku was pushed over the edge because he blamed Quigon Jinn's death on the Jedi Council. So when Yaddle mentioned that it could have been preventable, he expressed his rage and shoved the spaceship out of the way.
Absolutely loved Tales of the Jedi! It was great to see the internal struggles of CT. D & for once seen him in a different light. It's understandable why he turned to the dark side...but he could have just left the order & moved on after telling the council his concerns. Yaddle should have followed, investigated, recorded what she saw & reported back to the council...but she was foolish & deserved her fate...she was never going to beat the both of them...arrogance from yaddle. Loved anything to do with Ahsoka! Cannot wait for her show! There's nothing better on Disney than Dave's series about Star Wars. They need to release The Bad Batch, Mando & Ahsoka already!
I want to know more about that tree at the Jedi Temple. How did it come to be there? How old is it? What is its significance? Is it connected to the Force beyond the usual way that all living things are? That tree has a story, and I hope Dave Filoni intends to tell it to us someday.
Guys...I said "no" out loud and cried. Yaddle deserved better. I couldn't watch that episode again if my life depended on it. Tales was amazing, Filloni at his best.
Thank you as always for your insights Star Wars Meg. I loved all the episodes as they help explain much of the timeline. I would love to have had more of Qui-Gon Jinn as I find him a fascinating character. Sad to see Yaddle pass, even though it was a dark event the scene was written in a very touching way. Thanks again, take care.
I'm very much on the "goes either way" train. But I guess the reason why I lean more towards "no" is partly because George Lucus has always been adamant of keeping the Yoda species "mysterious." If we get answers to Gorgu's parentage, then we'd lose the mystery.
For me, I would rank Tales: 4 6 3 2 5 1 but I certainly didn’t dislike any of them; visually stunning shorts to watch! In regards to Grogu I think I am more leaning towards he is just another of Yoda and Yaddle’s species without either Yoda or Yaddle being his parent(s). Perhaps we will get more of his genesis story as the live action series progress vs having him cross over into animation. Thanks for this video!
I've watched them all... loved them. But my son has found a potential error in the timeline. When Dooku and Yaddle are fighting when everyone is at the funeral for Qui Gon. My son stated that The Emperor couldn't have been in the airship hanger watching the fight, because Senator Palpatine was at the funeral. Love for someone to explain this... because he's not wrong in what he's stated.
He's right. Though, when Yaggle told Dooku that they were going to Naboo, it didn't feel like it was too late for Dooku to join them. So I guess they were just on their way and taking their time.
@@999darklord999 I'll have to watch that again and have a listen. My son will no doubt watch it another 10 times and in slow motion to work it out. But surely Senator Palpatine would have gone with the rest of the Jedi for protection?
@@999darklord999 I've just watched the end of the Phantom Menace where Senator Palpatine arrives on Naboo. He walks off the same starship as the Jedi. So this plot hole seems to still be open
@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts Well that's just it! All the jedi were waiting for Palpatine next to the ship while he was watching one of their own killed by..one of their own! This story gets crazier every day!
Two things. Found one inconsistency in the animated show and Ep. 1. In the animated show where Mace and Dooku go to the planet their mission was to return the Jedi Master to the Jedi Temple for burial. However, they did not do the same with Qui-gon as they all went Naboo for the funeral. Also, I believe there is one other Yoda species that appears at the Naboo celebration end of Ep. 3 with Yoda.
Will you break down Ahsoka another day? Its hard to rank the episodes. But it felt like the Dooku episodes worked well as a arc. When it comes to Ahsoka it was more spread out events and I would love to see more of young Ahsoka. When Plo Koon found her. I liked the later episodes to Episode 5 made me even more convinced that Ahsoka wouldn't have died in the fight with Vader. The last episode was great as it was If I hadn't read the book. I hoped one day we would see an animated version of the Ahsoka novel, but now it seem retconned
I feel that both the 'Tales of the Jedi: Episode 6' and EK Johnston's novel 'Ahsoka' show portions of Ahsoka's life after Order 66. The novel goes into detail, but does not cover the whole timeline. In Rebels, Ahsoka shows she is stronger than the inquisitors, so defeating two before then seems quite believable. (...and maybe she feels it's her duty to free tortured kyber crystals.)
An animated version of the novel would be great. The 6th episode was nice, but I would've preferred it to be true to the novel. In the book, Senator Organa saw "Possible Jedi Sighting" in the empire logs and sends a crew to find who that Jedi was. He didn't know it was Ahsoka. He never gave her a communicator. She reunites with R2 and it's the Kyber crystals inside the 6th brother lightsaber that calls to her and makes her go fight him. She doesn't kill him like we see in the episode. Right after that, she makes her white light sabers. It's a good read, I recommend it.
@@999darklord999 yeah it eould have been more fitting. And I still hope we will get the book animated. There was much intresting things in that story. Maybe we will someday
Neither Yoda or Yaddle can be parents attachment is forbidden and they were on the council so that would be hypocritical is my take. Hope you cover TOTJ episodes.
I hope they continue with tales of the jedi and go back to more of Yaddles back story and importance before her death and the council investigating her death.
I hope that in S4 of the Madaloran, they will explore more of Grogu's past, especially after he was taken from the Jedi temple during Order 66. Why and how was he separated from the person who saved him? When he was taken into hiding, Asoka mentioned that his memory turned dark. I very much want to see what that was.. After all, S3 was basically about the Manaloran getting redeemed and getting back their planet.
Are we going to talk about what a serious can of whup-ass that was that Aksoka threw down on the Grand Inquisitor?!? She dropped him like he was a minor annoyance. This was full-power Ahsoka on display.
Asoka was my favorite. I was sad when Yaddle was killed off, because I didn't know enough about her and she was so forthright in her commitment to save Dooku. Now that I saw that, Dooku deserved what he got from Anakin. My respect for his character has decreased sharply. I first saw him as someone who turned because he honestly saw that the Jedi were going the wrong way, but he total embrace of the darkside, to the point of even killing one of the Jedi that he knew agreed with him and loved him enough to go into a very disadvantaged situation to try and save him showed my that he was a truly heartless and calculating person. For all of his treachery, the only thing he received in return was death!
Just a thought... Yoda species home world somewhere in the unknown region, all of them, with a few exceptions, are not force sensitive but when one is born sensitive (extremely sensitive), they either revere them and have to send them off because of custom or fear them and drop them at the nearest fire station.
My favourite episode was eps. 2, but closely followed by 4 and 3, because I LOVE the Dooku/Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan triangle :D Another thing I did love though, was the Caleb Dume/Kanan appearence, even as brief as it was ;)
I think we have one other example of Yoda’s species in one of the new canon video games. Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu are the only three we have seen in the live-action works.
It is to soon to give my opinion on my favorite episode for I have just finished watching episode 4! But what I will say is that I have loved every minute of it. Seeing this collection/season 1 in select theaters would have been the ultimate viewing experience. Season 2 in theaters, think about it. That would cool.
I would like to see Bryce direct more episodes, her work with thé mandalorian is epic. Also thanks for all the updates. Sigh. Grogu is the absolute cutest. May the force be with you
I'm confused about the timeline for Dooku. We know from Jedi Lost and Master & Apprentice that he left the order a few years before Qui Gon killed Maul, with little contact between him and the Order. The clone army was ordered around the time of the Phantom Menace but what was Dooku doing at the Temple? I understand him being invited to Jinn's funeral (sort of) but it's a bit strange.
There are 2 possible answers to that. Either, they just retconned the book. Or, as said in the book Padawan, dooku still visits a lot and is authorized to assist to council meetings. So he would sort of be in a grey area, where he is officially out of the order, but still highly regarded and trusted, so they let him do what he wants in the temple (maybe hoping he would change his mind and return)
Yaddle and Yoda must maintain their Jedi status above everything. They are not a couple, they just had a child to preserve their species as long as they have the power to do so. Yaddle may not completely agree with Yoda on this and this is how her train of thought alines with dookus, but she can not display her motherly emotions for either of the sith may sense it. She must focus solely on being the best Jedi she can be if she is going to try to portray a good example for dooku no matter what the outcome.
I don't have nearly the attachment to Yaddle as you do, Meg, so for me the best episode was clearly episode 2. That one actually got me a little misty. I never thought that I would actually like Dooku more after this series, and even though he kills Yaddle, the two stories before that actually give him some credence to his actions, however evil they are. It's tough for me to really give a solid ranking to the rest of the episodes, I loved them all, but I guess I would say: 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3. But the last three could really be interchangeable for me.
Also another thing I loved about the Sith Lord episode was that when Yaddle was tailing Dooku the music was reminiscent of Shattered from the Clone Wars when Ahsoka is leaving Mandalore. I love the music Kevin Kiner did on that episode!
@@lowspace4810 it absolutely did for me as well. I love blade runner and Philip k Dick in general. I can play music by ear and I've seen the clone wars finale way too many times and it's in the same key on parts and I just kept expecting to hear that part when then engage the hyperdrive leaving Mandalorian space.
Noswaith dda, RIP Yaddle. I still don't think that Grogu is Yaddle's offspring and feel that he is a true foundling discovered by Yoda on his journeys of discovery and enlightenment. And it is so good to be back in the Filoniverse without all the twaddle and YES BDH needs to be given her freedom to direct something in the SWU of her own without the others bothering her. Nos da.
I enjoyed the shorts, although they were pretty darned dark in theme. Ashoka taking on the Inquisitor unarmed was epic. As far as the Yaddle - Grogu relationship, I'm fine with letting it play out and not speculating.
Tales of the Jedi was some of the best star wars we had in a long time. It showed Doku to be human and confliced more than Anikin. You got some of the back story and could understand why he was put out with the Jedi. I just hate he killed Yaddle, Somehwere I had read that Yaddle was killed saving Anikin from a bomb, so I was confused to her dying like she did to Doku. Duko is very flawed and confliced. Loved Mace showing up. I hope we get more of tales from the Jedi.
I loved all the episodes, though I slight disappointment about the 6th because it's a condensed, compressed and changed version of the story of the Ahsoka novel. I like Dooku's story about the fact that he always ends up fighting a greedy senator and since the Jedi reports to them, he ends up thinking that the system is broken. Regarding Yaddle, I honestly don't care much about this character. I prefer to think that Grogu hatched from an egg.
So let me see if this is accurate. Yaddle was voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard. Ms. Howard also directed several "The Mandelorian". Finally, and I'm not certain, Ms. Howard directed the episode where we learn Grogu's name. Discuss
Doubtful, and the yaddle vs dukoo scene, what a cruddy way for such a supposedly powerful Jedi to die. Didn’t seem like she tried very hard to survive.
From what I know, Yaddle was not particularly skilled as a duelist, while Dooku was one of the best and at the moment he was filled with dark side power. Also, Dooku was actively trying to kill her while Yaddle was not. Had Yaddle wanted to kill Dooku, she could have just used morichro on him.
Another possibility is that the mating habits are conducted through the force ... ie, both (maybe even if one is a force ghost) just meditate at any distance and then the force spawns the youngling or something similar. They could come up with something just really different for their species.
It is a nice thought that Grogu's parents are Masters Yoda and Yaddle. BUT Yoda's species are naturally force sensitive so he could have just been there with no relation at all.
I think this was a creative way to bring Yaddle back into the picture… the less hardcore Star Wars fans are now aware of her - perhaps so they can now reveal she’s Grogu’s mother (and more people will know who she is).
Loved Tales of the Jedi like many episode 4 was my favourite, but they were all excellent, Also Ahsoka standing infront the of the flames in episode 6 is now my Desktop background stunning shot.
I liked episode 1 the most because it explains so much about Ahsoka’s native culture, and how deeply tied they are to the natural world, and not just on their home world. The big car (tiger?) had a very strong force presence as well, and I’m glad they showed the proper mindset of ethical harvesting of a wild animal. Note: their species must be incredibly strong for their size, since her mother was going to carry the buck as well as Ahsoka herself. Excellent episode all around, Meg!
I loved this series, it fleshed out Dooku in three short episodes as a tragic figure as Anakin, but more so because while Anakin followed Palps to save his wife, Dooku seemed focused on ridding the galaxy of the bloated Republic and Narrow minded Jedi. I play SWTOR and the Jedi Council is depicted almost the same way. Too few open minded Jedi. You see the pain in Dooku as he wrestles with his decisions and we know he was just another place holder for Anakin. Very sad and complex, the Future and Force of Star Wars is Filoni. Already liked and subscribed, great analysis
Episode 4 - It looks like Yaddle follows Dooku just after the conversation about the Jedi Council being on Naboo. Yet we see Darth Sidious on Coruscant when Chancellor Palpatine was also on Naboo. How?
One thing I think I noticed, Caleb Dume was one who witnessed the initial Ashoka trials, yes? In general I liked the 6 episodes, I like more the ones for Dooku, sorry it is the dark side on me, and I felt a little dissapointed with the first one, no surprised on that one because everything was shown on the trailer, so we knew before hand what will happen, that was weird.
I don't think Yaddle is Grogu's mom. No mom anywhere would walk right back into a fight she just lost to be slaughtered. Would any mom really think that helping a coworker (in this case Dooku) is ever more important than having a way to help her child by leaving on the ship she was conveniently on the same side of a huge door with?
Yet Yaddle is still a Jedi Master, so she would be wary of emotional attachments, especially one as powerful as a mother-son bond. At this time, little Grogu would be well cared for at the temple, and have his fellow kin Yoda to look after him. She may have believed that Grogu would have plenty of people who could care for him, while Dooku (who I think may be her friend) was in grave danger to fall to the dark side. At the time of her death, Yaddle was already a few hundred years old, so she has definitely seen more than Dooku.
She might have been confronting Dooku because of her child's future might be at danger if she doesn't. I don't really believe one thing or another but that might be the reason why she was willing to be willing to risk her life. And also we never saw her die so she might have just disappeared into the force.
Exactly people seem to miss this. Where is her body? How come it was never said where she was buried or whatever happens to them. It is possible she just disappeared like Yoda did when he died but it does beg the question...Is she really dead? At the very least we could see her as a force ghost.
I personally I'm not a fan of the idea of Yaddle and Yoda being Grogu's parents. First of all: Not everyone in Star Wars who is powefull with the force has to be someones son/daughter or grandchild. That's also somewhat unrealistic, considering the size of the galaxy. Secondly: I don't see a reason for Yoda or Yaddle breaking the jedi code. That would be kind of out of character for the two of them. And I know that there was some weird case in legends, where Ki-Adi-Mundi was allowed to father children, but I personally always found that story really stupid und unnecessary.
I can guarantee that they don't even know if that is the back story. I have heard Filoni and Favreau love to hear fan theory and write inspired by the fans...
What was your favourite episode of Tales of the Jedi? 💚👇
3&4 are my favourite
Hello and happy Thursday 😊 ❤
Episode 4, all of them are great!
Good day, Megalorians!
Enjoyed them all. Best to least order 3&4,5,2,6,1
I also figured that if Grogu was the son of Yaddle and/or Yoda, it would be for the reason you mentioned - their species is not only rare, but (as far as we know) generally strong in the force. In my opinion, Grogu is unlikely to be the result of a "passion" between Yaddle and Yoda (or either of them with another of their species), but intended by them as an addition to their species and a gift to the future of the Jedi Order, to be raised in the temple.
Well said
Ki-Adi Mundi has four wives because his species are rare, and he is actively helping add to the population, so based on his case, the idea that Grogu could have been Yaddle or Yoda's child could be for the same reason.
Just what I've been thinking and I believe you've said it better than I would've.
This is my new headcanon
Re Grogu. One theory I’ve been playing with is that he is actually more intellectually advanced than is shown. It’s fully possible that the trauma of order 66 and his subsequent captivity caused him to retreat in his mind into “infancy” as a time when he was “safe” when actually he was/should be the equivalent of a human 8-9yo. Still a child but more developed than is shown. The feelings of safety he’s getting being with daddy Din is allowing some of that knowledge and maturity to return.
Ep 6 was my fav. At the end is where she grows and understands that while she is not Jedi, she is a warrior of the light and begins wearing the moniker of Fulcrum.
I want a Fulcrum series now
Tales of the Jedi lived up to expectations. My favorite episode was 5. I loved watching how long Ahsoka was training at that particular exercise. Ahsoka's flip at the end was poetic especially since we saw her use that move during Order 66.
Yeah it definitely did, my favorite was the the one when Dooku and Qui Gon went to that village were the son of the senator was taken and also the last one with Ahsoka and the Inquisitor but they were all amazing.
Right! I Loved how Anakin pointed out droids are easy to counter and predictable, which made me wonder about Luke’s Mandalorian cameo. Anakin saved Ahsoka by pushing her in her training against the clones and when compared to the other Jedi; they were not ready for the unpredictability of the clones during Order 66. Ahsoka was well prepared and I loved that
my favourite was ep 5 too. was so poetic showing how she was saved from order 66.
That ending hit HARD. 😢
the thought of yoda and yaddle goin at it is a really distressing thought🤣🤣
“feel good, it does! spread them cheeks, you will!”
Bryce Dallas Howard as Yaddle was perfection, literally would have never realized it was her if I didnt know she was playing her! Besides Dave, I have to say Bryce is my favorite director at Lucasfilm she just has a genuine warmth and earnestness about her that's so heartwarming.
Tales of the Jedi Episode Ranking
Episode 4 was my favorite simply because it took place during and after Phantom Menace!
Episode 2
Episode 3
Episode 1
Episode 6
Episode 5
And mind you, all the episodes were 10/10 for me!
Yes Bryce is awesome she's Ron Howard's daughter she should be so awesome,,, she grew up loving movies and she's a part of that Star wars generation of the seventies
It was mine too! Her Yaddle voice is exactly how I pictured her: wise, ethereal, but somehow earthy and real. It was like a good sorceress or fairy character like the Three Good Fairies in Sleeping Beauty or Fin Raziel in Willow.
I love the parallel of Dookus point of no return and Anakins! Yaddles was Dookus and Mace Windu was Anakins
It seemed like Yaddle really wanted to help dooku and team up with him too fight Darth shittiest sidious Paducah already had too much of the dark side in him and fear Darth sidious where Yaddle seem like she did not fear anyone
The theory that yoda and yaddle conceived Grogu because their species is so rare is actually very believable. I hope we get an answer soon and I think we will by Mando season 4
Yeah. I mean like a testube baby conceived in a lab would be the most believable and fitting. If that was an official Jedi sanctioned birth as well it would partially explain why Moff Gideon much later would be hunting down Grogu for tests etc. Information about grogu would probably be easy to find in Republic/Empire archives. And we know how much the emperor was hunting force sensitive children and lost Jedi and Padiwans etc. VERY BELIEVABLE.
@@benjaminroe311ify test tube baby 🤡
Besides, Jedi sanctioned breeding has some grounding, as Ki-Adi Mundi was involved in population preservation.
If Grogu is Yoda and Yadel’s son, I can’t wait to hear the audience scream for submissions.
I loved all 6 episodes! They were terrific. The stories were straight to the point, intriguing and emotional. The animation and music were spot on. I think the Yaddle episode might be my favorite too. I hope we get more of these little shorts in the future. Focus on 2 other characters and how their little known back stories progress through the timeline!
While I enjoyed immensely all six episodes, Ahsoka is one of my all-time favorite characters. It was a real treat to see her earliest time period,Not to mention her strength in the Force. WOW Child!!
They can do so much more with the Tales of the Jedi.
If I was asked to make some episodes here is the stories that I would pick:
1. Palpatine and Darth Plagueis
2. Yoda and his master
3. Dooku discovering Asaijj Ventress for the first time
4. Asaijj Ventress vs Anakin (their first ever encounter)
5. Showing more Jedi survivors from Order 66
6. Introducing characters from the Old Republic era:
Darth Revan
Meetra Surik
Visas Marr
Just some ideas.
The original clone wars mini series showed how Dooku discovered Ventress. It also showed Ventress, and Anakin’s first encounter. Though not sure if it is still cannon.
@@marks2807 that's why I added it to my list so they can make it canon
2. I do not think this will happen, as it would go against Lucas's "keep Yoda mysterious" belief. However, you know what I would love to see? The story that the Ollivander-droid mentioned in Clone Wars, the tale of Yoda getting his first kyber crystal as a padawan, which was hinted to be very eventful!
Hmm. Even if Yaddle was Grogu's mother, we cannot forget that she was also a Jedi-complete with all the trappings that entails, including wariness of attachments and the fear it embodies. She would do the right thing regardless of any other implications, trusting the force to sort those out.
I'm in the it's possible (but I truly hope not) camp. I hope Filoni can resist.
Loved it as a whole. I thought the first episode was...okay...but then the rest of the series was amazing. It's so odd to think of Dooku being for social justice in the beginning. Had they used that route with Anikan, I would have understood why he suddenly saw the Jedi as evil. At any rate, BDH did a great job with Yaddle, and it was definitely sad to see her go. But I think the part in the series that got me the most misty-eyed was the one that ended with Ahsoka and Rex. It made me chuckle every time she would get stunned it training, and then jumping forward, showing us that she would never have survived Order 66 had Anikan not been so hard on her, yeah, I definitely got choked up. And OMG, they recreated Padme's funeral perfectly. I was amazed.
I loved seeing Ahsoka & Captain Rex go to Padme's funeral on Naboo & how she secretly hid in the crowd like that!
It is notable that the shorts are full of aliens. That is a key Star Wars motiff. I think the paucity of aliens is a shortcoming of Andor.
I loved Tales of the Jedi so much. IDK why a bunch of the episodes were so emotional for me but it must just be because of my love for Clone Wars and Rebels. The Sith lord is my favorite episode. I loved seeing Yaddle and Qui-gon. Seeing that side of Yaddle was just a treat. If it was for Sidious in his ear I think he may have recognized her conflicted views she also has with how the Jedi order had been operating and maybe had a chance at redemption. Next would be the last one with Ahsoka. I love how it connects how she reconnected with Bail and became Folcrom. I love that they showed the transition of her montrals and head tails to be like in Rebels and I really loved that she was going by the name Ashla. The episode before that was my next favorite because it ultimately was just showing the training she got that ended up saving her during order 66 in the Clone Wars. Talk about poetry.
Mmmm One of the Greatest Historical Documents of All Time.
I fell asleep during episode 1 and didn't wake up until the morning. It's my new go to snooze show
It is indeed very sad that just as her character is fleshed out and given a voice, Yaddle has to die. However...
She went out like a true Warrior, Light side all the way.
She most likely isn't really gone, though.
Three words:
Force
Ghost
Yaddle
!
I sincerely hope it's being considered. I like to think we haven't seen the last of this awesome character.
I LOVED this series; I give it a solid 10/10 if not 15/10. I wish we got more episodes in this series, but I hope they make more of them. My favorite episode was episode 4 with Yaddle, and I cried a little when they showed Ahsoka at Padme's funeral, I had hoped that we got to see Ahsoka make her iconic white lightsabers at the end of the series, but either way every episode was great.
I believe that there was a licensing agreement with Lucas Films and Disney at the time of the purchase and there wasn't to be any backstory/origin story to Yoda which I think would encompass Yaddle and Grogu. I don't imagine that we will ever see any more past experiences besides order 66 with Grogu unfortunately.
I loved this series! The animation was excellent! I wonder if the next season of The Manolorian will give
us more of Grogu's backstory? I'm not sure if he is related to Yoda or Yaddle, but it would make sense if
he was.
When Yaddle tells Dooku to come back with her, he tells her he can't. I took that as the same as when Luke tells Anikan/Vader to come back with him and Anikan/Vader says "you don't know the power of the dark side". Don't remember where I heard it, but the Vader line is almost like he's pleading with Luke, that he can't leave the dark side on his own and maybe that's what Dooku is telling Yaddle that he can't, that he needs help. and because she misunderstood, she couldn't help him. I could be way off, but that's the way I'm taking that comment. Dooku may well have wanted to leave the dark side, but couldn't.
Now we know about Yaddle. Interesting seeing her and her story of her end. Loved seeing Mace Windu and I know you loved it as well. Love all the Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu info. I loved all of the episodes.
This is Star Wars. There was more feeling of SW in the first episode than all of Andor so far. What a difference.
My favorite point in the argument would when Grogu choses between being a Jedi or Mandalorian. Choosing between two father figures.
1. A shield givem to him by a Mandalore who treats him like family and a son, and pushes him to find his way, whether with him or not.
2. A lightsaber that belonged to his potential father who was never there. And even after order 66 never searched for him or treated him like a son.
Gives another side to why he wouldnt want to be like a Jedi.
Tales of the Jedi was absolutely amazing. Best Star Wars we’ve gotten since the clone wars. All the episodes were 10/10 except one and even that one was still above an 8
Agreed.There were at least 10 people shooting that giant tiger when it had Ahsoka,and not one shot landed.I could see if they were storm troopers,because we all know they can't shoot for ****.😀
@@russellmarsden6316 facts. Maybe they were just trying to scare it away because they’re supposed to be hunters but idk
I also think Dooku was pushed over the edge because he blamed Quigon Jinn's death on the Jedi Council. So when Yaddle mentioned that it could have been preventable, he expressed his rage and shoved the spaceship out of the way.
Absolutely loved Tales of the Jedi! It was great to see the internal struggles of CT. D & for once seen him in a different light. It's understandable why he turned to the dark side...but he could have just left the order & moved on after telling the council his concerns. Yaddle should have followed, investigated, recorded what she saw & reported back to the council...but she was foolish & deserved her fate...she was never going to beat the both of them...arrogance from yaddle. Loved anything to do with Ahsoka! Cannot wait for her show! There's nothing better on Disney than Dave's series about Star Wars. They need to release The Bad Batch, Mando & Ahsoka already!
I want to know more about that tree at the Jedi Temple. How did it come to be there? How old is it? What is its significance? Is it connected to the Force beyond the usual way that all living things are? That tree has a story, and I hope Dave Filoni intends to tell it to us someday.
My favorite episode of tales of the Jedi is episode 6 and episode 4 love that one so much
Guys...I said "no" out loud and cried. Yaddle deserved better. I couldn't watch that episode again if my life depended on it. Tales was amazing, Filloni at his best.
Thank you as always for your insights Star Wars Meg. I loved all the episodes as they help explain much of the timeline. I would love to have had more of Qui-Gon Jinn as I find him a fascinating character. Sad to see Yaddle pass, even though it was a dark event the scene was written in a very touching way. Thanks again, take care.
I have a theory that Grogu’s parents are someone new we have yet to meet through flashbacks.
I'm very much on the "goes either way" train. But I guess the reason why I lean more towards "no" is partly because George Lucus has always been adamant of keeping the Yoda species "mysterious." If we get answers to Gorgu's parentage, then we'd lose the mystery.
For me, I would rank Tales: 4 6 3 2 5 1 but I certainly didn’t dislike any of them; visually stunning shorts to watch! In regards to Grogu I think I am more leaning towards he is just another of Yoda and Yaddle’s species without either Yoda or Yaddle being his parent(s). Perhaps we will get more of his genesis story as the live action series progress vs having him cross over into animation. Thanks for this video!
I've watched them all... loved them. But my son has found a potential error in the timeline. When Dooku and Yaddle are fighting when everyone is at the funeral for Qui Gon. My son stated that The Emperor couldn't have been in the airship hanger watching the fight, because Senator Palpatine was at the funeral. Love for someone to explain this... because he's not wrong in what he's stated.
He's right. Though, when Yaggle told Dooku that they were going to Naboo, it didn't feel like it was too late for Dooku to join them. So I guess they were just on their way and taking their time.
@@999darklord999 I'll have to watch that again and have a listen. My son will no doubt watch it another 10 times and in slow motion to work it out. But surely Senator Palpatine would have gone with the rest of the Jedi for protection?
@@999darklord999 I've just watched the end of the Phantom Menace where Senator Palpatine arrives on Naboo. He walks off the same starship as the Jedi. So this plot hole seems to still be open
@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts Well that's just it! All the jedi were waiting for Palpatine next to the ship while he was watching one of their own killed by..one of their own! This story gets crazier every day!
@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts I believe all the Jedi would've waited next to the ship while one of their own was gettign killed. *evil chuckle*
Two things. Found one inconsistency in the animated show and Ep. 1. In the animated show where Mace and Dooku go to the planet their mission was to return the Jedi Master to the Jedi Temple for burial. However, they did not do the same with Qui-gon as they all went Naboo for the funeral.
Also, I believe there is one other Yoda species that appears at the Naboo celebration end of Ep. 3 with Yoda.
Will you break down Ahsoka another day? Its hard to rank the episodes. But it felt like the Dooku episodes worked well as a arc. When it comes to Ahsoka it was more spread out events and I would love to see more of young Ahsoka. When Plo Koon found her. I liked the later episodes to Episode 5 made me even more convinced that Ahsoka wouldn't have died in the fight with Vader. The last episode was great as it was If I hadn't read the book. I hoped one day we would see an animated version of the Ahsoka novel, but now it seem retconned
I feel that both the 'Tales of the Jedi: Episode 6' and EK Johnston's novel 'Ahsoka' show portions of Ahsoka's life after Order 66. The novel goes into detail, but does not cover the whole timeline. In Rebels, Ahsoka shows she is stronger than the inquisitors, so defeating two before then seems quite believable. (...and maybe she feels it's her duty to free tortured kyber crystals.)
An animated version of the novel would be great. The 6th episode was nice, but I would've preferred it to be true to the novel. In the book, Senator Organa saw "Possible Jedi Sighting" in the empire logs and sends a crew to find who that Jedi was. He didn't know it was Ahsoka. He never gave her a communicator. She reunites with R2 and it's the Kyber crystals inside the 6th brother lightsaber that calls to her and makes her go fight him. She doesn't kill him like we see in the episode. Right after that, she makes her white light sabers. It's a good read, I recommend it.
@@999darklord999 yeah it eould have been more fitting. And I still hope we will get the book animated. There was much intresting things in that story.
Maybe we will someday
Neither Yoda or Yaddle can be parents attachment is forbidden and they were on the council so that would be hypocritical is my take. Hope you cover TOTJ episodes.
I hope they continue with tales of the jedi and go back to more of Yaddles back story and importance before her death and the council investigating her death.
I’m still getting acquainted with the shorts, but for now, I think my ranking for Tales of the Jedi is 4 > 5 > 6 > 3 > 1 > 2.
I hope that in S4 of the Madaloran, they will explore more of Grogu's past, especially after he was taken from the Jedi temple during Order 66. Why and how was he separated from the person who saved him? When he was taken into hiding, Asoka mentioned that his memory turned dark. I very much want to see what that was.. After all, S3 was basically about the Manaloran getting redeemed and getting back their planet.
grogu is just like nemo they both never have a chance to know there own mother after birth.
For anyone wondering, Jon and Dave modeled Grogus story after a book by Lloyd Alexander called the Foundling.
The Dooku arc was mind-blowing.
Sensational really sensational.
Nice job SWMeg! Your best i have heard!
Are we going to talk about what a serious can of whup-ass that was that Aksoka threw down on the Grand Inquisitor?!? She dropped him like he was a minor annoyance. This was full-power Ahsoka on display.
It was very well done Tales of the Jedi. I enjoyed it very much. It will be fun to find out Grogu's story. Properly. Cheers Meg
Asoka was my favorite. I was sad when Yaddle was killed off, because I didn't know enough about her and she was so forthright in her commitment to save Dooku. Now that I saw that, Dooku deserved what he got from Anakin. My respect for his character has decreased sharply. I first saw him as someone who turned because he honestly saw that the Jedi were going the wrong way, but he total embrace of the darkside, to the point of even killing one of the Jedi that he knew agreed with him and loved him enough to go into a very disadvantaged situation to try and save him showed my that he was a truly heartless and calculating person. For all of his treachery, the only thing he received in return was death!
Just a thought... Yoda species home world somewhere in the unknown region, all of them, with a few exceptions, are not force sensitive but when one is born sensitive (extremely sensitive), they either revere them and have to send them off because of custom or fear them and drop them at the nearest fire station.
Im an Ahsoka fan and loved the 3 episodes of her. But episode 4 with Yaddle, was dark and hit hard.
Yes, I was sad when Yaddle died, It's very plausible that Grogu is the offspring of Yoda and Yaddle.
My favourite episode was eps. 2, but closely followed by 4 and 3, because I LOVE the Dooku/Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan triangle :D
Another thing I did love though, was the Caleb Dume/Kanan appearence, even as brief as it was ;)
I think we have one other example of Yoda’s species in one of the new canon video games. Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu are the only three we have seen in the live-action works.
I've been saying that since the beginning. I can't believe that Yoda and Yaddle didn't get freaky Deaky.
If Grogu is 50, and they live to be 900, that would translate 18 in human years, and he can't even talk.
I think it would be a massive mistake to make Grogu related to either Yaddle or Yoda. It’s a big galaxy, not everyone has to be related.
Thanks for the breakdown, Meg!!! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I believe that Yaddie was his mom, and didn’t tell other Jedi about his birth
Nice logic loved Tales I do think she is his mother. I was thinking her death may mark the beginning then Gorgu's memory goes dark. Maybe not
It is to soon to give my opinion on my favorite episode for I have just finished watching episode 4! But what I will say is that I have loved every minute of it. Seeing this collection/season 1 in select theaters would have been the ultimate viewing experience. Season 2 in theaters, think about it. That would cool.
I can't get enough of the Filoni-Star Wars-verse.
I would like to see Bryce direct more episodes, her work with thé mandalorian is epic. Also thanks for all the updates. Sigh. Grogu is the absolute cutest. May the force be with you
I'm confused about the timeline for Dooku. We know from Jedi Lost and Master & Apprentice that he left the order a few years before Qui Gon killed Maul, with little contact between him and the Order. The clone army was ordered around the time of the Phantom Menace but what was Dooku doing at the Temple? I understand him being invited to Jinn's funeral (sort of) but it's a bit strange.
There are 2 possible answers to that. Either, they just retconned the book. Or, as said in the book Padawan, dooku still visits a lot and is authorized to assist to council meetings. So he would sort of be in a grey area, where he is officially out of the order, but still highly regarded and trusted, so they let him do what he wants in the temple (maybe hoping he would change his mind and return)
Grogu's mother was another called Fondu
Hi Meg awesome video I have only watched the first episode of tales of the jedi so I will ip date you later when I have finished them ok
I loathe Dooku for killing Yaddle!! That broke my heart 💔 That scene was dark af
Yaddle and Yoda must maintain their Jedi status above everything. They are not a couple, they just had a child to preserve their species as long as they have the power to do so. Yaddle may not completely agree with Yoda on this and this is how her train of thought alines with dookus, but she can not display her motherly emotions for either of the sith may sense it. She must focus solely on being the best Jedi she can be if she is going to try to portray a good example for dooku no matter what the outcome.
I don't have nearly the attachment to Yaddle as you do, Meg, so for me the best episode was clearly episode 2. That one actually got me a little misty. I never thought that I would actually like Dooku more after this series, and even though he kills Yaddle, the two stories before that actually give him some credence to his actions, however evil they are. It's tough for me to really give a solid ranking to the rest of the episodes, I loved them all, but I guess I would say: 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3. But the last three could really be interchangeable for me.
Also another thing I loved about the Sith Lord episode was that when Yaddle was tailing Dooku the music was reminiscent of Shattered from the Clone Wars when Ahsoka is leaving Mandalore. I love the music Kevin Kiner did on that episode!
The score reminded me of a Blade Runner esque vibe to me
@@lowspace4810 it absolutely did for me as well. I love blade runner and Philip k Dick in general. I can play music by ear and I've seen the clone wars finale way too many times and it's in the same key on parts and I just kept expecting to hear that part when then engage the hyperdrive leaving Mandalorian space.
Episode 6 was very reminiscent to the Ahsoka book by EK Johnston
the dooku episodes were great! but the ahsoka episodes fell unnecessary or overwrote better stories, I don't want her oversaturated in shows
Noswaith dda,
RIP Yaddle.
I still don't think that Grogu is Yaddle's offspring and feel that he is a true foundling discovered by Yoda on his journeys of discovery and enlightenment.
And it is so good to be back in the Filoniverse without all the twaddle and YES BDH needs to be given her freedom to direct something in the SWU of her own without the others bothering her.
Nos da.
I enjoyed the shorts, although they were pretty darned dark in theme. Ashoka taking on the Inquisitor unarmed was epic.
As far as the Yaddle - Grogu relationship, I'm fine with letting it play out and not speculating.
Tales of the Jedi was some of the best star wars we had in a long time. It showed Doku to be human and confliced more than Anikin. You got some of the back story and could understand why he was put out with the Jedi. I just hate he killed Yaddle, Somehwere I had read that Yaddle was killed saving Anikin from a bomb, so I was confused to her dying like she did to Doku. Duko is very flawed and confliced. Loved Mace showing up. I hope we get more of tales from the Jedi.
I loved all the episodes, though I slight disappointment about the 6th because it's a condensed, compressed and changed version of the story of the Ahsoka novel. I like Dooku's story about the fact that he always ends up fighting a greedy senator and since the Jedi reports to them, he ends up thinking that the system is broken. Regarding Yaddle, I honestly don't care much about this character. I prefer to think that Grogu hatched from an egg.
So let me see if this is accurate. Yaddle was voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard. Ms. Howard also directed several "The Mandelorian". Finally, and I'm not certain, Ms. Howard directed the episode where we learn Grogu's name.
Discuss
Doubtful, and the yaddle vs dukoo scene, what a cruddy way for such a supposedly
powerful Jedi to die. Didn’t seem like she tried very hard to survive.
From what I know, Yaddle was not particularly skilled as a duelist, while Dooku was one of the best and at the moment he was filled with dark side power. Also, Dooku was actively trying to kill her while Yaddle was not. Had Yaddle wanted to kill Dooku, she could have just used morichro on him.
Another possibility is that the mating habits are conducted through the force ... ie, both (maybe even if one is a force ghost) just meditate at any distance and then the force spawns the youngling or something similar. They could come up with something just really different for their species.
It is a nice thought that Grogu's parents are Masters Yoda and Yaddle. BUT Yoda's species are naturally force sensitive so he could have just been there with no relation at all.
I think this was a creative way to bring Yaddle back into the picture… the less hardcore Star Wars fans are now aware of her - perhaps so they can now reveal she’s Grogu’s mother (and more people will know who she is).
Thanks Meg! 🙏🏼
Right when Yaddle finally speaks on screen she dies 5 minutes after!😭😡
Loved Tales of the Jedi like many episode 4 was my favourite, but they were all excellent, Also Ahsoka standing infront the of the flames in episode 6 is now my Desktop background stunning shot.
I suppose the only "evidence" for this theory is that they're both green.
That was a very Saul answer lol
Well Yaddle’s story getting a canon ending makes things interesting… In my mind, it was she who saved Grogu. Nope. Not anymore
I liked episode 1 the most because it explains so much about Ahsoka’s native culture, and how deeply tied they are to the natural world, and not just on their home world. The big car (tiger?) had a very strong force presence as well, and I’m glad they showed the proper mindset of ethical harvesting of a wild animal.
Note: their species must be incredibly strong for their size, since her mother was going to carry the buck as well as Ahsoka herself. Excellent episode all around, Meg!
UTINNI‼️‼️ Oh my, the emotions during episode 4. I bet you gasped.
I loved this series, it fleshed out Dooku in three short episodes as a tragic figure as Anakin, but more so because while Anakin followed Palps to save his wife, Dooku seemed focused on ridding the galaxy of the bloated Republic and Narrow minded Jedi. I play SWTOR and the Jedi Council is depicted almost the same way. Too few open minded Jedi. You see the pain in Dooku as he wrestles with his decisions and we know he was just another place holder for Anakin. Very sad and complex, the Future and Force of Star Wars is Filoni. Already liked and subscribed, great analysis
Speaking of SWTOR the latest episode of Andor had a Easter egg they mentioned Belsavis.
@@lowspace4810 yeah I saw that lol, I was like…finally! I don’t know if Belsavis was mentioned in any of the canon products before
Episode 4 - It looks like Yaddle follows Dooku just after the conversation about the Jedi Council being on Naboo. Yet we see Darth Sidious on Coruscant when Chancellor Palpatine was also on Naboo. How?
Another thing that wasn't addressed: Did Mace Windu really die? Related?
I would have like to have seen how Dooku met and got turned to the dark side by Palpatine.
One thing I think I noticed, Caleb Dume was one who witnessed the initial Ashoka trials, yes?
In general I liked the 6 episodes, I like more the ones for Dooku, sorry it is the dark side on me, and I felt a little dissapointed with the first one, no surprised on that one because everything was shown on the trailer, so we knew before hand what will happen, that was weird.
I don't think Yaddle is Grogu's mom. No mom anywhere would walk right back into a fight she just lost to be slaughtered. Would any mom really think that helping a coworker (in this case Dooku) is ever more important than having a way to help her child by leaving on the ship she was conveniently on the same side of a huge door with?
Yet Yaddle is still a Jedi Master, so she would be wary of emotional attachments, especially one as powerful as a mother-son bond. At this time, little Grogu would be well cared for at the temple, and have his fellow kin Yoda to look after him. She may have believed that Grogu would have plenty of people who could care for him, while Dooku (who I think may be her friend) was in grave danger to fall to the dark side. At the time of her death, Yaddle was already a few hundred years old, so she has definitely seen more than Dooku.
She might have been confronting Dooku because of her child's future might be at danger if she doesn't. I don't really believe one thing or another but that might be the reason why she was willing to be willing to risk her life. And also we never saw her die so she might have just disappeared into the force.
Exactly people seem to miss this. Where is her body? How come it was never said where she was buried or whatever happens to them. It is possible she just disappeared like Yoda did when he died but it does beg the question...Is she really dead? At the very least we could see her as a force ghost.
I personally I'm not a fan of the idea of Yaddle and Yoda being Grogu's parents. First of all: Not everyone in Star Wars who is powefull with the force has to be someones son/daughter or grandchild. That's also somewhat unrealistic, considering the size of the galaxy.
Secondly: I don't see a reason for Yoda or Yaddle breaking the jedi code. That would be kind of out of character for the two of them. And I know that there was some weird case in legends, where Ki-Adi-Mundi was allowed to father children, but I personally always found that story really stupid und unnecessary.
She is very beautiful... I hope she might actually get to be part of the cast somewhere down the line.
I can guarantee that they don't even know if that is the back story. I have heard Filoni and Favreau love to hear fan theory and write inspired by the fans...
