taken from the comic Tales #5
this female Jedi Master was a member of the same species as Yoda.
She was just 477 years old at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and
was a member of the Jedi Council. Some 200 years before the Battle
of Naboo, Yaddle was apprenticed to Polvin Kut. They were
dispatched to eliminate the threat of the Advozse warlord Tulak on the
planet Koba. Polvin Kut was killed in the struggle, and Yaddle was
imprisoned by Tulak. Yaddle was buried alive, and only her discipline
and attention to the Force kept her alive. She grew strong with the
Force, never succombing to anger or hatred, and was eventually freed
when seismic activity split Koba's crust. The natives revered her, but
were totally unprepared for the appearance of Tulak's son, Kalut. Her
control of the Force allowed her to defeat Kalut and finish the work
she and Polvin Kut started. Upon her return to Coruscant, Even Piell
proposed her promotion to Jedi Master and appointment to the Jedi
Council. One of her foremost critics was, in fact, Yoda himself, who
believed that the promotion of a padawan to Jedi Master was againts
the Jedi Code. However, Yoda was the lone dissenting vote when her
membership to the Council was debated, and her membership was
approved. She was known on the Council for her patience,
compassion, and wisdom, and was one of the few Jedi entrusted with
the knowledge of mortichro. She took a delight in the training of the
younger students, often overlooking their pranks and hiding sweets in
their pockets. One of Yaddle's apprentices was Empatajayos Brand,
and she dedicated much of her time on Coruscant to heading up the
Jedi library. Seven years after the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle led a
mission to the planet Mawan, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin
Skywalker assisting her. Their mission was to negotiate the
establishment of a new government there, following a decade of civil
war. Unknown to the Jedi, however, was the fact that the most
powerful crimelord on Mawan was actually Granta Omega. In the
guise of Striker, Omega hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to
Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he believed
to be gathering power in the galaxy. Omega captured Anakin and held
him hostage, demanding a meeting with Yaddle. She agreed, and
discovered that Omega was planning to unleash an explosive filled with
dihexalon gas. Rather than allow the weapon to be exploded in the city
of Naatan, Yaddle drew the weapon to herself and wrapped it in a
cocoon with the Force. The weapon imploded, rather then exploded,
as Yaddle drew the dihexalon into herself. The deadly toxin took its
toll, however, and Yaddle was killed instantly. Her body disappeared
as Anakin watched, but the population of Mawan was safe.
Unfortunately for Anakin, the young apprentice felt deeply saddened
by her death, a death that he felt responsible for and should have
prevented.
