Do or do not there is no try size matters not. look at me judge me by
my size do you? for my Ally is the force and a powerful ally it is.
life creates it makes it grow, its energy surrounds us and binds, luminous beings
are we, not this crude matter you must feel the force around, here between you, me
everywhere. Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my video all
about Yoda's species on the mandalorian and in the Star Wars Canon because this
is taking place right after Return of the Jedi so a lot of people are
wondering if it's going to connect with stuff that's happening during the new
trilogy in rise of Skywalker I am doing videos for all the Mandalorian episodes
so if you're brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get everything
we're also doing a Star Wars merge giveaway too so obviously careful for
spoilers from the Mandalorian if you haven't seen it yet
Lucasfilm technically lifted the spoiler ban on talking about baby Yoda but
that's basically what it was people were just waiting til after the first couple
of weeks to start openly talking about and posting pictures of baby Yoda but
just to be clear even though the Internet has largely dubbed this person
baby Yoda we don't know that he is the biological child of Yoda we don't know
that he's a clone of Yoda but I'll discuss that during the video so this
scene is all about the Mandalorian being saved by the young link that we're
dubbing baby Yoda and during a big callback to Yoda lifting Luke's x-wing
out of the swamp and Empire Strikes Back saves the Mandalorian from being crushed
by the mud horn creature by lifting it in the air with the force then stunning
it when it drops to the ground long enough for the Mandalorian to finish him
off baby Yoda promptly passes out because the effort taxes him so much
you're basically using your life to do stuff like this which is why Luke
Skywalker died in the attempt to project himself across the galaxy to help give
the resistance time to get away baby Yoda is fifty years old according
to what they're saying on the TV show that makes him around four or five years
old in human years assuming that he ages at about the same rate but he can't
quite talk so the planet kind of fast and loose in terms of how fast he
develops relative to other races because he can climb out of his hovering
bassinet he can walk on two legs he can capture an e food by himself like we see
when he snarfs down that giant frog relative to his size the frog is almost
as big as he is then he's also able to tell when the Mandalorians in trouble
he's able to use the force to sense what's going on with him even though he
himself can't speak yet the only other two members of his race that we've ever
met anywhere in the Star Wars universe in any kind of Canon even the legends
Canon or Yoda himself who was about 900 years old when he died then ya know who
we last saw during Phantom Menace and she was a little under five hundred
years old when that happened there's a story about what happens to her after
this moment but they got rid of her during the legends timeline and even
though that isn't canon anymore she was actually just referenced again during
Star Wars fallen order if you've been playing that game they reference the
adil in passing during it someone thinks that she's still alive out there
somewhere but that's it George Lucas has always refused a lot of questions about
Yoda's backstory where his race comes from things about his people like you
would normally ask questions about the other races of the galaxy he's been very
meticulous in at least working with other third parties in building out the
backstories behind all these cultures in the galaxy but when it comes to Yoda
species it's a hard pass the only time he's ever allowed or given his blessing
to creating a new member of the race is during the Mandalorian species that
might be because Dave Filoni is working on the show and he sort of George
Lucas's adoptive son George Lucas no joke thinks of Dave Filoni as the son
that he never had because George Lucas only has daughters but a lot of people
are now wondering if this baby oda if he survives the Mandalorian series which it
sounds like he will if he's going to be the future of the Jedi Order for the
next 850 years which takes it way past the rise of Skywalker and because of
some Easter eggs from episode 1 on Doctor Pershing's in Pierrot uniform
there are a lot of theories about who he is and what the Empire's plans for baby
Yoda are so if you missed this during episode one
Doctor Pershing is wearing a white Imperial medical officer's uniform with a special
symbol on it that denotes the cloning facility a Kamino from attack of the
clones implying that he worked in cloning research for the Emperor now as
of right now in the show the empire has fallen after the Battle of Endor in the
battle of jakku what remained of the Imperial fleet has since gone into the
Unknown Regions and they're in the process of becoming the first order so
they're nowhere to be found The Imperials that we see on the
Mandalorian are just the leftovers who are vying for power now the moths the
Admirals trying to consolidate what's left of the Empire the way Werner
Herzog's character refers to it and he's wearing him Imperial medallion is bring
back a sense of order go back to the way things used to be under imperial rule we
know that the Emperor had all kinds of secret projects all over the galaxy
hidden from the rest of the Empire he was obsessed with immortality Q the
Darth Plagueis the wise speech and he was obsessed with the knowledge of the
force that being said is much contempt as he showed for Master Yoda during
brunch of the Sith because Yoda's race was so powerful in the force Emperor
Palpatine tried to learn everything he could to exploit that or in lieu of that
get rid of all the other members of his race top that would pop up because they were
potential threats to him if every member of Yoda's race is just as force
sensitive as he was and capable of being just as powerful it's a huge threat to
the Empire when Palpatine seemingly died which we know now didn't stick because
he just showed up in the flesh during the rise of Skywalker trailer a lot of
these secret projects that the Emperor was working on sort of burst at the dam
because he wasn't there to keep them secret anymore
so a lot of people working on those projects or who had knowledge of them
tried to exploit them in his absence now a lot of people are wondering if Doctor
Pershing is either going to try and clone baby Yoda to make an army of force
sensitive beings that the remnants of the Empire are able to use to maintain
order a bunch of evil tiny Yoda's running around with lightsabers or if
baby Yoda himself is a clone of Yoda is part of that attempt after watching the
episodes a couple times I'm starting to think less that he's an actual clone of
Yoda but that they do want to clone him and the reason that he's a foundling
just like the Mandalorian is because he lost his parents they were killed
sometime between the prequels in the original trilogy during the purge if
he's 50 years old that makes them about as old as Anakin
Skywalker so baby Yoda predates the prequels when the Mandalorian took the
job. Doctor Pershing insisted that he be brought
back alive and that probably has something to do with the viability of
the cloning process like living biological matter is easier to clone
than dead matter the reason why Werner Herzog's character is totally cool with
him being dead is probably because either doesn't care about this army of
clones Yoda's or he doesn't think they'll be able to control them there been a lot
of jokes about Yoda maybe getting with Y Adil but the thing is is that even
though they're male and female members of their species and they reproduce like
normal mammals would with male and female the reason why I don't think that
baby Yoda is actually Yoda's biological child is because Yoda made such a big
deal about the tenants of the Jedi Order and one of the core ones was that they
were never allowed to have children so I think at least Master Yoda would have
respected that yato left the Jedi Council after Phantom
Menace she might still be alive like I said she's mentioned during Star Wars
fall in order by someone thinking that she's still alive after the great purge
after order 66 but that hasn't been confirmed yet because of George Lucas
keeping them secret nobody really knows much about their race not in real life
and not within the Star Wars universe like the other Jedi Masters and
historians don't know much about Yoda's race themselves because of their in
fibia slight qualities we know that they come from very swamp like planets like
Dagobah was the perfect planet for Yoda to hide on one because it helped mask
his force signature because it was so strong in the force they just sort of
drowned his signal out so that the emperor couldn't find him but it also
served his biological needs for his race because he needed to live in a swamp
like environment we know they're extremely long-lived but because of that
they reproduce very infrequently and there are always very very few of them
in the galaxy at any one time there's no actual count even Master Yoda probably
doesn't know how many members of his race currently exist but when they're
born they're all born with relatively high force sensitivity so if you do want
to talk about midi-chlorians yes you mean you can make all the jokes that you
want but they're all born with relatively high counts just like Master
Yoda was that's why everyone is always so curious about them the Emperor the
rest of the Imperials baby Yoda even tries to heal the Mandalorian with the
force just to give you an idea for how innately force-sensitive and
powerful he is he's not old enough to speak but he knows enough about the
force that he knows that he can use it to heal his wound even though the
Mandalorian himself seems like he doesn't know anything about the ways of
the force even if he grew up during the Clone Wars which we know he did because
of the flashbacks my assumption there is that because his parents seemed like
they were killed during the Clone Wars and he went into refuge he became a
foundling as part of these Mandalorian clans that they just didn't spend a lot
of time teaching him about Force Lord because most the Jedi got wiped out
during the purge him learning about the force by watching baby Yoda do crazy WTF
things will probably just play out over the rest of the season and if baby Yoda
is doing stuff like this now at the beginning of the series
think about what they might be saving in terms of big WTF force moments for the
series finale if you're really excited about what's going on with the series
right now don't worry they just started filming season two a little while ago so
unless they say something different I'm assuming the season two episodes will
drop next year around the same time and by that time most places around the
world will have access to Disney Plus so you won't all have to race around to
find the episode somewhere else every single week when they drop them my
Mandalorian episode 3 video will post tomorrow after the episode airs so be
sure to watch it however you can watch the episode while you wait for that
