The Star Wars universe is filled with thousands upon thousands of characters. Some get their own movie, others are just blurry in the background of iconic scenes, maybe waiting for their time to get noticed. Jedi Master Yaddle was introduced as a background character in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and made her way through cameos in Star Wars books and comics, but nothing sustainable.
The upcoming Disney+ series Tales of the Jedi will remedy that as Yaddle heads to the forefront and will be voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard, who has made her own presence known with Star Wars having directed several episodes of the megahit series, The Mandalorian.
Meet Yaddle in #TalesOfTheJedi — voiced by me *squeal* — streaming this Wednesday, October 26 only on @DisneyPlus. Thank you @dave_filoni for making this dream come true 💫 #StarWars @TheCloneWars pic.twitter.com/oYERidKuhV

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was officially announced before this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. The upcoming series will consist of six animated anthology shorts that will be released starting tomorrow, October 26. The first trailer arrived in September and showed a younger cast of characters that we’ve been familiar with, so the reveal of Yaddle was an interesting surprise.
