Star Wars: New Yoda Solo Series Officially Announced
Yoda vs the seagulls
Last week's Star Wars Celebration was so thoroughly stuffed with exciting announcements that there's a good you missed a few things.
Tucked away in between reveals for brand-new Star Wars games and returning shows like The Mandalorian, a brand-new series was confirmed: Star Wars: Yoda.
This new 10-issue series from Marvel Comics will essentially give the former Grand Master the Obi-Wan Kenobi treatment, by which I mean it'll explore his time exiled on Dagobah as he looks back at his life.

The series is made up of three separate arcs from three different creative teams, each exploring during different points in Yoda's life.
Star Wars: Yoda kicks off with writer Cavan Scott and artist Nico Leon telling a story set during the days of Star Wars: The High Republic, giving us a look at a much younger Yoda in action.
This arc will be followed by a storyline from Jody Houser and Marc Guggenheim, which will take place shortly before the events of The Phantom Menace. A third arc from Luke Ross and Alessandro Miracolo will follow Yoda in the final days of the Clone Wars, before Scott and Leon return to finish the series.
Incredibly, this is Yoda's first-ever solo series, and Marvel is promising to make the most of it with "unexplored aspects of the Jedi Master's storied history and shed new light on the mystery that has surrounded the iconic character since his debut." Sign me up - as long we get some more Yaddle, that is.
