There have literally only been three of this short, unnamed species presented to us: Yoda, who first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back; Yaddle, a female who showed up in The Phantom Menace; and, of course, Baby Yoda, who has yet to be confirmed as an actual relation to Yoda, but since we haven’t gotten a name out of the little soup-sipper it works as well as anything.
Well, even keeping in mind what Jon Favreau said about The Mandalorian’s Baby Yoda, let’s not forget what I mentioned above.
It’s not like there have been Yoda-like characters all over Star Wars movies and animated series for the past 40 years.
