10 Star Wars Questions We Still Need Answers To

10. Everything About Yoda's Species

Let's kick things off with arguably the single biggest, most speculated-upon mystery in the entirety of Star Wars - what exactly is up with Yoda's (Frank Oz) species?

In the almost half-century that the franchise has existed, we've been given curiously little context for the species that Yoda, Yaddle, and Grogu belong to. Hell, we don't even have an official name for what they are beyond "Yoda's species."

But there are so many other unanswered questions we can touch on within this. Where do they originate from? How many members of Yoda's species are there? Are they all Force-sensitive? 

And here's a biggie - why does Yoda talk the way he does, ordering sentences object-subject-verb? The recent Tales of the Jedi series canonically confirmed that Yaddle orders her sentences just as humans do, so why is Yoda different?

While there's a large subset of Star Wars fans dying to have these questions answered, there are also many who prefer to savour the mystery and ambiguity of Yoda's species, rather than risk demystifying them to the point that they cease to be interesting - especially if all the answers aren't that great.

Given that the franchise's creative inner circle has remained tight-lipped about it all for so many decades, it wouldn't be surprising if most of these questions are forever left unanswered.
