Thomas and Star Wars: Dark Legends artist Grant Griffin playing key roles in defining the final look. “Right away, concept artist Iain McCaig felt like the go-to artist to help us start to explore this new look for Yoda,” says Alders, “so we called him up and started to talk about what directions to explore.” Other artists contributed, as well, with Disney Publishing illustration manager Jeff R. “His age, as far as the way that his hair and face look, is maybe just slightly younger, but fairly close to his look in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” And since the thinking was his appearance wouldn’t be radically different from that of Episode I, Alders went to one of the talents who visually defined that film. But we thought that with it being hundreds of years earlier, he would definitely have a different outfit, maybe even more than one,” says Alders. ![]() “Well, Yoda is not that much younger - around 700 years old instead of about 900. At the same time, there was an obvious need to show that these were earlier days. Once design work began, Lucasfilm didn’t want to fix what wasn’t broken. It felt like a daunting and enormous responsibility to embark on and get right.” “Also, to really make sure that the new look was believable, as this is really the first time that there has been an opportunity to update his look and his clothing. “The goal was to update Yoda, but to be careful and be true to the Yoda that we all know and love,” says Troy Alders, Lucasfilm art director. It was a challenge not to be taken lightly. With an appearance in a visual medium, that would mean a new design for the iconic character. “It's an incredible honor to give words to one of my all-time favorite Star Wars characters.” “The only reason writing Yoda wasn't on my Star Wars writing bucket list is because I didn't think it would ever be possible!” he says. Ultimately for Older, depicting Yoda during a previously unseen era is an opportunity he doesn’t take for granted. “The Force study abroad program, basically.” “While he's already a respected member of the Jedi Council at this point, we meet Yoda in IDW's The High Republic Adventures series doing what he loves best: looking out for the young folks - in this case, a group of Padawans traveling around the galaxy to learn the ways of the Jedi with a hands-on approach,” Older says. “The High Republic Yoda is a journeyman out in the galaxy.” According to Older, the Emperor’s “little green friend” will still be treading somewhat familiar ground - that of teacher. ![]() “It's especially exciting to be able to introduce him in the era of the High Republic,” Older tells. Yoda will feature prominently in Daniel José Older’s Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures comic, coming 2021 from IDW Publishing the Jedi Master that Older depicts in his series, however, won’t be quite the same sage-like being we know. ![]() In Star Wars: The High Republic, we’ll encounter the Jedi Master centuries prior, and is thrilled to offer a first look. ![]() But we’ve only known him through his final act - in the last days of the Republic and Jedi Order, and during the training of Luke Skywalker.
