In the original trilogy, Palpatine did not meet with Yoda. But in the prequel trilogy they met several times. Does Palpatine even remember Yoda at the point when he saw Luke Skywalker on the Death Star II? He did not mention Yoda in Return of the Jedi.

At the end of Revenge of the Sith, the Emperor knows thats Yoda is alive.  Why would he not make that the first priority of the Empire?  Yoda would be the one Jedi of all the Jedi you would not want alive, so why overlook this?

Palpatine tossed around Senate "pods" with no problem, Yoda picked up X-wings and such, and there are many other examples of pretty impressive levitation feats. So why couldn't Sidious/Palpatine stop himself from falling to his death? Why couldn't Maul levitate himself away instead of falling to his (assumed for a while until The Clone Wars) death?  Is it a Sith thing?

According to  (better citation needed), Yoda said to Luke:     The Force is strong with your father, you, and your sister.   Did Leia ever use The Force?

In the Revenge of the Sith, when Count Dooku had Chancellor Palpatine captured, did he actually know that Palpatine was the same person as his master Darth Sidious?   If he did, then why didn't he expose Palpatine when the latter ordered Anakin Skywalker to kill him?

Is the reason neither Yoda or Obi-Wan thought it a good idea to inform Luke that      his father and Vader were the same person   ever discussed? Were they hoping that       Vader himself   didn't realize this, and that it wouldn't come up? Or was there an explicit rationale behind hiding this fact from Luke?  Wouldn't it seem risky to send Luke in blind, with the chance of him finding out without their support, considering how emotional attachment can be a door into the Dark Side?

I watched Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope for the first time in a while a few days ago (the first step in taking my Daughter through the Machete Order). One thing that stood out was the pre-duel smack talk between Vader and Obi-Wan:     Vader: When I left you, I was but the learner; now, I am the master.   Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.   From memory, this is the only example I can think of where 'Darth' is used as if is was Vader's first name, as opposed to the title that we (eventually) learn that it is, once we meet other Darths.   I wonder when Lucas decided that Darth would be a title for dark side Jedi (not called 'Sith' until the prequel trilogy)? In Empire and Jedi, Darth Sidious is referred to only as 'The Emperor', but 'Darth Vader' ceases to be called Darth if only one word is used; e.g. Yoda's "Vader, you must face Vader".  Is this just an example of Lucas making stuff up as he went along, rather than having it all planned out from the start (not actually all that unreasonable)? Or is there some reason that Obi-Wan used 'Darth' instead of 'Vader'? On previous viewings (i.e. before the prequels existed) I'd interpreted this as Obi-Wan being informal with his old student by using his first name, rather than his last. However, the reverse interpretation could be true once you know that Darth is a title, i.e. that Obi-Wan is using his title rather than his name in order to be as cold and impersonal as possible (i.e. replace 'Darth' with 'Sir' and put Bastard swords in their hands instead of light sabers).

I checked the Wikipedia article and some interviews, and haven't found any specific answer.  What specifically does the "awakening" of the Force in the title refer to?  Was the Force somehow asleep or dormant? (which would, since it Binds The Galaxy Together, explain the Inflationary cosmological models).  Or that there were no active Force users since Vader and Sidious offed every Jedi and then each other? We know Luke's still around.  Or something else?  Canon or word-of-god answers only, please.

One of the changes made to the Special Editions of Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi was at the end of the film.  Luke sees 3 ghosts during the celebration on the forest moon of Endor, Yoda, Anakin, and Obi-Wan.  In the Special Editions, the actor who played Anakin earlier in the film, Sebastian Shaw, is replaced with Hayden Christiansen who played young Anakin in Episodes 2 and 3.  My question is, why is Anakin the only one de-aged?  Shouldn't Obi-Wan also be his younger self, along with Yoda?

Leader of the Jedi Council, Yoda was. For centuries, a Jedi.   To Dagobah he went. For twenty years, lived there did he. Bored, he might be.   Do what, did he?

In The Empire Strikes Back as Han Solo leaves to look for Luke Skywalker a rebel worker says     Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.   Han replies     Then I'll see you in hell!   Is there a concept of heaven and hell in the Star Wars mythology? If not, to what is he referring?

Is there a canon mention that Kenobi, Windu, Palpatine, the Skywalkers etc. are the same human species as all the other humans in  like Han Solo?  They look like humans, but we know that they're different in at least one characteristic: midi-chlorian hosting, which I suppose humans can't do as per definition.    Answers only from Canon, please. EU is welcome...

I always wondered why Admiral Motti and Governor Tarkin in the movie  insinuate that the Force is an old, dead religion?  :     The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.   :     Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerous ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fortress...   Tarkin, as human, must be around age 50, so, if in Episode IV Luke is about 20, when he was just born at the end of Episode III, Tarkin must have been around 30, so a perfect young man in a Galaxy that used to know Jedis, Jedi Council, Force etc..  Why, 20 years later, he just looks like someone who never saw a Jedi/Sith? Also, besides from Force sensitives (Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, the Emperor), nobody else looks like they ever heard of the Force ... that's really weird, isn't it?

There's some  in Star Wars, and perhaps a bit of  , but is there any borrowing from Ancient Rome in Star Wars?  During the original trilogy, there was an existing republic taken over by an empire, which also happened with Ancient Rome - was this a deliberate parallel?

Star Wars Legends (formally the Star Wars Expanded Universe) already had lots of events set after Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi.  Did Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens explicitly contradict any of those events? If yes (most likely), what are they?    NOTE: some of the suggested events were NOT explicitly contradicted by canon.   Imperial Remnant could still have happened. Mara Jade could still have happened (that might change by Episode VIII of course). Even Han and Leia having twins is NOT directly contradicted by new canon — nowhere does it say Ben didn't have a twin (we know Rey isn't that twin as she is 10 years younger)

In the prequels we see that both C3PO and R2D2 are Anakin's droids and they clearly both know that he's gone over to the dark side.  I would like to know an in-universe answer for the question; Why did they not tell Luke?      that Vader is Anakin?
94522
R2-D2 has an intact memory of the events of the prequels. He should be aware of what Yoda looks like, and probably has met him.  So why did R2-D2 attack Yoda?

In a trailer for Kinect Star Wars, I saw Yoda driving a Jungle Speeder and that got me wondering. Can and has Yoda ever piloted a starfighter?  During the Clone Wars, it seems plausible that they could commission a small-sized green Jedi starfighter. Is their any indication that he has piloting experience?
