Star Wars: What Happened To Yaddle, The Female Yoda?
Yoda wasn't the only member of his species in Star Wars; there was also Yaddle, a Jedi from the prequels with ties to both Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen's Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker, but disappeared in the later part of the trilogy. Yoda and Yaddle's Star Wars species has been a mystery since the diminutive alien first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back. Notably, George Lucas has jokingly said that Yoda could be the illicit love child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. This changed with Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, which introduced Yaddle, a female of Yoda’s species. But what happened to Yaddle after The Phantom Menace.
In reality, Lucas' muppet reference isn't that far from the truth. Yaddle was a repurposed test puppet for Yoda himself, but in breaking such a hard-fast Star Wars rule, was immediately intriguing and thus given her own story arc. Despite some character expansion in both the Expanded Universe — now called Legends — and wider canon, Yaddle disappeared by Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones and was never seen again. In fact, there are no mentions of Yaddle in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, or any other Disney Star Wars project.
