STAR WARS: Lucasfilm Reveals VERY Surprising New Details About How Yoda Passed Time On Dagobah

Lucasfilm has yet to fully explore what happened to Yoda on Dagobah, though we do know that it wasn't an overly eventful time in the Jedi Master's life. Forced into hiding after failing to defeat Emperor Palpatine in the wake of Order 66, Yoda's mind and health rapidly declined during his time on the swamp-like planet. 

A number of upcoming Star Wars books were revealed by Lucasfilm Publishing at the New York Comic Con this weekend, and two pages from Star Wars: 100 Objects by Kristin Baver have proven to be of particular interest to fans.

The book arrives in stores next April, and in this excerpt, we learn about Yoda's blissl, a musical instrument that was incredibly important to the Jedi during his exile. While the blissl has been mentioned in Star Wars before, this is the first time we've got any real details about what it is. 

"Dagobah's lush ecosystem, strong in the Force, also provided [Yoda] with the means to create the blissl," the new excerpt from 100 Objects explains. "This tiny pipe instrument from his days of isolation suggests that Yoda instinctively understood the psychological benefits of creating an artifact and experiencing a moment of joy, despite the widespread turmoil afflicting the galaxy."

"It's intriguing to think of Yoda, always deeply in touch with the Force, alone on Dagobah yet surrounded by a landscape teeming with life, and finding some solace in music. Perhaps, during his final days, Yoda would have essayed a tune on the blissl, adding his own melody to the chorus of the natural world around him."

This is very interesting and a rare glimpse into Yoda's time on Dagobah. Many fans remain optimistic that this period in his life will be explored in a future movie or TV show, though if Yoda is set to return, it will likely be a younger version in one of the planned High Republica era stories that Lucasfilm is working on for the Star Wars franchise.
