The Star Wars franchise is filled with characters that appeared for just a single frame or two in a film. Thanks to the toys, comics, novels, and video games, these characters have gotten far more exposure, and become fan favorites in their own right. Yaddle… has never quite reached “fan favorite” status. Making her debut in Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace, Yaddle appeared to be of the same, nameless species as Yoda and The Child. The character did not return for the follow-up film, but will appear as a playable character in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga when it releases later this year! On social media, some fans are just discovering the character for the very first time, while others are celebrating her triumphant return.

Star Wars Day has exciting news across the board!
Everyone is (understandably) excited at the news about Taika Waititi co-writing & directing a new Star Wars movie...

It doesn’t seem likely these two news items are related, though.

And it all worked out in the end… except for Pokemon fans.
Yeah the national Pokรฉdex may be incomplete but all of the Lego Star Wars games exclude Yaddle.
