Summary
Star Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menaceintroduced one challenging vista ofMaster Yoda’scharacter , yet the subsequentStar Warsprequel movie not only dropped that plot point but also totally reverse it . The Phantom Menacewas the fourth to be released inthe chronology ofStar Warsmovies and TV shows , but in terms oftheStar Warstimeline , it was first . This meant that character exploitation was key , especially as the flick fleshed out the characters who had previously appeared in the originalStar Warstrilogy .
Master Yoda ’s theatrical role growing was especially crucial , as he had been introduced inThe Empire Strikes Backas a mysterious but incredibly sinewy Jedi ; in fact , Yoda was clearly one ofStar Wars’most hefty Jedi , if not the undivided most brawny . The Phantom Menacethen built up his character significantly , taking him from the strange little alien on Dagobah to the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order . However , one fascinating plotline for Yoda introduced inThe Phantom Menacewas confusingly entirely altered inStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the ClonesandStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith .
The entire Skywalker saga would be totally unlike if Master Yoda had changed just one conclusion he made about Anakin in The Phantom Menace .
In The Phantom Menace, Yoda Is Obsessed With The Future
The very first mention of Yoda inThe Phantom Menacecomes very early on in the picture show , when Obi - Wan explain to Qui - Gon Jinn,“Master Yoda enounce I should be aware of the future"in response to Qui - Gon telling his Padawan to focus on the here and now . Already , this make Yoda ’s interest in the future and what it may hold . Intriguingly , even beyond a curiosity about the future , the scene implies that Yoda even support using an awareness of one ’s future to guide their actions . After all , Obi - Wan relieve oneself this point after he smell out something unknown and"elusive"impending .
Yoda ’s concern about the future persists later on in the motion picture when he meet unseasoned Anakin Skywalker . After test Anakin ’s Force sensitiveness and inquiring about Anakin ’s thoughts and feelings regarding his mother , the Council determine that Anakin should not be educate as a Jedi . When Qui - Gon argues with them , telling them Anakin is the one from the choose One prophecy in an effort to have the Council reconsider their decisiveness , Yoda asserts,“Clouded this boy ’s future tense is . “Again , this moment play up Yoda ’s focussing on the future .
Star Wars Canon Has Completely Abandoned This Interpretation Of Yoda
bewilderingly , Yoda has entirely changed his air byAttack of the Clones , and inRevenge of the Sith , Yoda has become wary of reflecting upon the future at all . When Anakin comes to Master Yoda to assay counseling about his incubus of Padmé dying , Yoda tells him,“Careful you must be when sensing the future , Anakin . The fear of loss is a path to the dark side . “This approach to Anakin ’s foreboding reflects a unadulterated policy change of Yoda ’s opinions about the future .
Rather than being mindful of it , as he had instructed Obi - Wan , or assessing it , as he had seek to do when he met Anakin , Yoda outright discourages such efforts . This major geological fault is n’t explain in the prequel picture show . Arguably , this could be a variety of heart because of Anakin specifically . Not only did the Jedi dread Anakin ’s potential future themselves , but they also focused too heavily on the Chosen One prophecy . Perhaps Yoda became concerned that Anakin looking into the time to come in peculiar would have grave import , or perhaps he had start to recognise the flaws in trusting a prophecy .
Not only did the Jedi reverence Anakin ’s potential future themselves , but they also focus too heavily on the choose One prophecy .
In the end , this nidus on anticipate the future did contribute to Anakin ’s fall and the destruction of the Jedi Order . Anakin ’s visual modality led him to the obscure side , and the Jedi ’s trust on the choose One wholly backfired . While not confirmed , this may suggest thatMaster Yoda’schange of heart about the future followingStar war : Episode I - The Phantom Menacewas for the best — alas , it amount too late .
