YESYoddle (/ˈjəʊ.dəl/) was a Force-sensitive male member of the same species as Jedi Masters Yoda and Yaddle and one of the few living relics of the Old Jedi Order. During his tenure as a Jedi, Yoddle took the Barash vow and went into seclusion in the Shadowlands on Kashyyyk. He later returned to service as a full Jedi after Rey re-established the Jedi Order on Ajan Kloss.
Biography
Yoddle was taken as the Padawan learner of the Thisspiasian Jedi Master, Bodo Goomba, who was notable as one of the Order's foremost diplomats. Training under Master Goomba, Yoddle traveled far and wide, undergoing missions to Kashyyyk, Jelucan, Nevarro, and Malastare, among other worlds, where he was exposed to a diverse number of species and cultures and developed a deep appreciation for all lifeforms in the galaxy. However, Master Goomba grew old and passed away before Yoddle's training could be completed and the young Jedi was taken in by the Hutt Jedi Master, Yarella, to complete his training. Thus, at roughly two hundred years of age, Yoddle finally underwent the Jedi Trials and became a Jedi Knight himself.
Decades later, when the Sith Order was rediscovered on Tatooine by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoddle implored the Council to order an expedition to the Unknown Regions, where he believed more darkness awaited them. But, as always, the Council dismissed his concerns and Yoddle returned to the Outer Rim empty-handed. Ten years following this incident, the Clone Wars broke out on Geonosis and all available Jedi were recalled to Coruscant to join Master Mace Windu in rescuing two Jedi and a Senator stranded on the planet. Yoddle did not make it back to the Core in time to join the mission, but deeply opposed the war when he returned, believing it to be connected to the darkness he had been sensing for years.
During said early rebellion, Yoddle assisted Tarfull's insurgency against Imperial slaving operations on Kashyyyk. His actions drew the attention of an Inquisitor—the Twelfth Brother—forcing Yoddle to again take up his lightsaber and the mantle of a Jedi. He successfully defeated the Inquisitor in an intense duel on the limbs of the Origin Tree, but was forced to go back into hiding afterwards to prevent drawing the attention of more Inquisitors or, worse, the dreaded Sith Lord Darth Vader. And so, Yoddle remained hidden on Kashyyyk for nearly two decades until the planet was liberated by the New Republic following the larger victory at the Battle of Endor.
Personality and traits
Like other Forceful members of his species, Yoddle has accumulated a great deal of wisdom over his nearly five centuries of life. However, decades of living in seclusion down in Kashyyyk's Shadowlands has made him more eccentric and childlike than the calm and patient Jedi Master Yoda. Yoddle is fond of spinning riddles, playing pranks, and in general making light of serious situations. However, underneath his jovial tone is an intelligent and wise Jedi Knight with centuries of experience as both a Jedi Knight and a witness of many great historical upheavals throughout the galaxy. He also still harbors a great deal of guilt for what he feels was his failure of his former comrades and is frequently haunted by his decision to take the Barash vow, leaving his comrades to die when Darth Sidious initiated Order 66.
Like Jedi Master Yoda, whom taught Yoddle as a Youngling (along with all of the other Younglings at the Temple), Yoddle has a very powerful and unshakable faith in the light side of the Force. He is a staunch believer that all things are possible with the Force as one's ally and does not believe he is in anyway held back by his size. Though he experiences guilt for past transgressions, Yoddle believes that all previous Jedi live on through the Force and empower those still alive, which gives him comfort in his moments of doubt. However, because he was raised in the old Jedi tradition, he can be seen as somewhat of a dated member of the Order, still clinging to the traditions of the fallen Order and revering its deceased members despite their flaws in life.
Powers and abilities
The diminutive Jedi Knight was also trained to use his size to his advantage. Because he was so small, most opponents would not be expecting a skilled lightsaber duelist, so he focused his training on getting a handle on the more acrobatic lightsaber style of Form IV. This required Yoddle to build up a reasonable Force reserve, allowing him to make the necessary Force-assisted acrobatics, to handle the style. He also mastered abilities like Force weapon to complement his fighting style and give him an edge over aggressive dark side practitioners.
Having been raised for centuries in the Old Jedi Order, Yoddle received an elite education and had a reasonable grasp on major galactic religions, cultural bodies, and politics, as well as a general understanding of galactic history that goes beyond what most average galactic citizens were taught. He also received education and training in piloting while among the Jedi, making him decent if not a little rusty. Yoddle can speak Galactic Basic (albeit the same, broken Basic used by his predecessors Yoda and Wyck) and can both understand and speak Shyriiwook due to decades spent living among the Wookiees on Kashyyyk.
