A treat from Yoda's home


After the extermination of the Jedi and his subsequent failure to defeat Darth Sidious and save the republic, Jedi Master Yoda went into voluntary exile on Dagoba. Here, Yoda lived near a cave strong with the dark side of the Force which balanced out his good side and kept him from detection by the Emperor. In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is visited on the ice planet Hoth by the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who tells him to go seek Yoda on Dagoba to be trained as a Jedi. Skywalker flies to Dagoba with R2-D2 in his X-wing after Darth Vader and his stormtroopers overrun the Rebel Alliance base on Hoth. Skywalker leaves Dagoba early to attempt to rescue Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca who he feels are in danger on the planet Bespin. Skywalker also briefly returns to Dagoba in Return of the Jedi, in which he has a final conversation with Yoda, and speaks extensively to Obi-Wan Kenobi's ghost about the conflicting stories of Luke's parentage.

And this is Yoda's favorite candy bar...
