Yoda is one of the most famous characters in Star Wars. And Star Wars is one of the most famous film franchises of all time. It’s known for its very detailed imaginary world. So one would be surprised to find out that Yoda’s species doesn’t actually have a name.
Sometimes the species is just referred to as “Yoda Species” and are described as “small humanoids.” The species’ official name and homeland is unknown though. Was this omission on purpose or was it an overlooked detail?
That doesn’t mean that nothing is known about the species though. Most members are small and stand about 70 centimeters tall. They also have extremely long life spans—some longer than 100 years. Both their skin and their blood was green, they had ridges on their forehead and elfin ears. All known members in the series were Jedi Masters although this doesn’t apply to all members of the species. Disney is rumored to be planning standalone movies for some of the most famous Star Wars characters, including Yoda, so we’ll learn more about him and his species for sure.
