The master becomes the learner! To some, he was a legend. To others, he was a teacher. Now Yoda is all but forgotten, living in exile and haunted by his past. As a strangely familiar voice echoes through the swamps of Dagobah, Yoda must revisit the many lessons he has given over the years – from the glory of the High Republic to the chaos of the Clone Wars! First, a desperate cry for help reaches the Jedi Council on Coruscant. How far will Yoda go to protect a community from attack? Then, years before the Clone Wars, he asks an old friend to come teach the next generation of Jedi: Master Dooku! Plus: Prepare for Yoda vs. General Grievous – to the death! And can a young Anakin Skywalker help Yoda destroy an entire factory full of deadly Megadroids? There is no try!
