Why Yoda hid?

Many say he went in hiding to Dagobah because he was a coward.Others say he was ordered to by other Jedi during the hunt.What do you think?

I kind of think his hiding was of cowardness. I mean all Jedi being killed would be a reason to run for the dark. Hell, I would haul butt if I knew everyone in town was being killed off. Yoda not being agile but fragile would go into hiding for a good reason...protection.

I think he would of stode his ground if he was forced to.I think Obi Wan made him hide there after the births of the twins for protection.For he may be the only existing Jedi in a few short years and would be needed to train them.

We might be breaking barriers here. If Yoda hid when the twins were born, maybe it wasn't hiding but actually he was merely saving Luke's life. Luke said Dagobah was familiar, maybe he wasn't born there but lived there for a brief period of time (long enough to remember of course). Also, separation of the twins is PERFECT. I don't know about everyone else but I feel it would be harder for the dark side to sense the actual location if they are both apart. I dunno, maybe I am talking out of my ass but it seems reasonable. Also, after the Dark Side senses Luke's actual presence on Dagobah, OB1 takes Luke leaves to either Alderaan or Tatooine. If Tatooine, he gather's Owen and Beru and fly to Tatooine where OB1 hides and Beru and Owen start a new life, or OB1 just flies to Tatooine where Owen and Beru already live and use the "leave the baby on the doorstep" type of deal. What do you guys think?

I think he knew that he still had work to do so he had to go somewhere and wait it out till Luke come to him.

Why is that breaking barriers?

Its a form of speech expression. It means we are unlocking holes in to why the OT and Prequels are connected.

When?

Read, EvilJedi, Read.

I don't see anything i wrote breaking barriers.

*~sigh~* Never mind, just continue posting.

I think him hiding there in wait of the twins would connect nicely.

So do I...it's old and patient...he can wait.

Yeah.He's over 800.Whats another 20 years to a guy like him.

Actually I'm guessing he's just "dying" to die....He probably wonders what took the brat so long.

LOL Dim 🙂 Actually, that is one doubtful scenario (The waiting for a twin), I don't think he was dying to die either.

Yeah he just wants to die so he can see his love Yaddle.

Oh...he can lust after Yaddle but me and a 65 yr old makes you puke....crazy...

He and Yaddle are JUST friends.

Hey there both old so what the heck.

What? She's young for her species...She's just a young pup.
