As figure inThe Empire Strikes Back , Dagobah becameLuke Skywalker ’s training priming , with Yoda putting him through an intense and extremely truncated Jedi pedagogy that saw Luke failing many of his key tests . Yoda would , in the end , never pass on his new home , as he passed away on Dagobah inReturn of the Jedi , though the unknown Earth would be revisited by Luke and other keyStar Warscharacters in both canon and Legends .

George Lucas left quite a bit on the film editing room floor when it came to Revenge of the Sith , and we wish some of these deleted scenes were included .
Yoda Knew He Didn’t Have What It Took To Defeat The Sith
Yoda’s Power Was No Match For The Sith’s Strength
In Matthew Stover’sRevenge of the Sithnovelization ( part of theStar WarsLegends continuity ) , Yoda ’s affaire d’honneur with Darth Sidious is explore in great detail . As the last Grandmaster of the old Jedi Order , Yoda was impeccably skilled in armed combat and close to the Jedi Code . Despite his legendary artistry , he just was not strong enough to kill Palpatine , drive him to retreat with his pride irreparably damaged . The novel describes Yoda and Palpatine as representatives of their respective eras of the Jedi and Sith themselves , making Yoda ’s vote out all the more meet . Yoda embodied the self-satisfaction of the old Jedi Order , while Palpatine represented Darth Bane ’s Sith dynasty .
The Rise of Skywalker bring out the ancient Sith planet Exegol , but there are several other Star Wars worlds hide in the morose side of the Force .
The Jedi Knights and their ancient foe , the Sith Lords , had been at state of war with each other for much of their various histories , culminating in the Ruusan campaign . The Sith were seemingly destroy at the conclusion of the Seventh Battle of Ruusan , but one Dark Lord – Darth Bane – hold out . For the next millenary , Bane reformed the Sith Order while the Jedi persist largely the same as they had been straight off come after their victory . The Sith grew far warm than they had ever been before and weaken the Jedi through manipulation as much as combat . The Jedi , as Yoda discovered , were long delinquent for reform if they were ever to revert .
Yoda Believed The Children Of Skywalker Could Defeat The Sith
The Jedi Master Invested His Faith In Anakin Skywalker’s Children
Although Yoda suppose he must go into exile following his frustration , he and Obi - Wan Kenobi were not simply fleeing the Sith and dooming the wandflower to majestic subjugation ; the two Jedi Masters had a mission . For the Jedi to return , a fresh multiplication was demand , yet trail Anakin Skywalker ’s children – Luke and Leia – right on away would be too speculative in the Empire ’s other years . Thus , Leia would be embrace by the royal Organa family of Alderaan , while Luke would be adopted by the Lars family on Tatooine . When the time was proper , the two would be prepare as the first Jedi in a new and improved generation .
For all of Luke ’s failures during his training on Dagobah , the influence of Owen and Beru Lars , as well as his humble upbringing on their Tatooine farm , had a profound gist on him . Not only was Luke grounded , having produce up as an ordinary farmer , but his Aunt and Uncle raised him to be stalwart in his altruistic convictions . Luke also learned from his many failures , on both Dagobah and Bespin . By the events ofReturn of the Jedi , he was a true Jedi Knight in all but name , and his choice to redeem his Fatherhood rather than kill him at long last saved the extragalactic nebula .
Luke ’s next chore was to excrete on what he learned to Leia and , eventually , his Jedi educatee . In the original Legends timeline , Luke remain to learn and grow through unsuccessful person as often as triumph , training Leia as a Jedi and establish the New Jedi Order , which vastly better on its predecessor . In the new canon , however , Leia not only ended her Jedi Knighthood upon complete her breeding , butLuke also fall back and repeat the errors of his master . This resulted in the new Jedi generation ’s destruction and Luke going into expat without purpose , near dooming the galax to tyranny once again - requiring an intervention from Yoda himself .
Yoda Exiled Himself To A Force Vergence
Yoda Kept His Connection To The Force Without Revealing Himself
The unfeigned purpose of Yoda ’s exile was clear , as was his choice of Dagobah as his new home . During Obi - Wan ’s fourth dimension on Tatooine and Yoda ’s meter on Dagobah , they utter to the Force ghost of Qui - Gon Jinn , who give way them additional training that allowed them to also return as Force ghosts when they died . Kenobi prefer Tatooine to keep lookout over young Luke , whose homeworld is highly harsh , while Yoda chose Dagobah for more esoteric reasons : The planet itself is rich in the Force .
In the newStar Warscanon , properties likeStar Wars : The Clone Warsreveal the planet is one of the “ purest ” localization in the wandflower . This not only wait on Yoda in his communications with the later Qui - Gon Jinn , butit also permit him to connect to other Jedi throughout the galaxy . Star Wars Rebelsdemonstrates this when Yoda in brief speaks to Ezra Bridger during the latter ’s ascending to Jedi Knighthood .
The Legends continuity only mean Dagobah ’s strong link to the Force , but it also explain its grim side cave near Yoda ’s family , which helps mask Yoda ’s presence in the Force . Unlike the Force ( nickname the “ calorie-free side ” ) , the dark side is not born , and thus the cave was not always saturate in its push . C before the prequel trilogy , the Jedi known as Minch dueled and toss off a grim side - user in the cave , resulting in its corruption . The cave was also useful to Yoda ’s plan followingRevenge of the Sith , as it provided Luke Skywalker with a meaningful vision and warning during his Jedi training .
