10 Movie Mysteries FINALLY Explained

10. What Happened To Yaddle? - Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

The Star Wars franchise is littered with nagging mysteries, but one which has especially puzzled fans for years is the true fate of Jedi Master Yaddle - effectively a female version of Yoda who could be seen sitting on the Jedi High Council in The Phantom Menace.

Yaddle disappeared without a trace following The Phantom Menace, and though she was technically killed off in the 2003 novel Jedi Quest: The Shadow Trap, this was rendered non-canon when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012.

As such, Yaddle's fate was left uncertain, until the matter was finally resolved in last year's animated Disney+ series Tales of the Jedi.

In the season's fourth episode, shortly after Qui-Gon Jinn's (Liam Neeson) death, Yaddle learns that Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) has been working with Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid), leading to a lightsaber duel in which Dooku kills Yaddle, cementing his turn to the Dark Side.

It was certainly a sad outcome for fans, but a fitting one that brought necessary closure while slotting effortlessly into the existing lore.
