YODA’S JEDI MASTER RUMORED TO RETURN TO STAR WARS CANON
In a potential development for the Star Wars franchise, N’Kata Del Gormo, rumored to be one of Yoda’s mentors, has been mentioned in recent Star Wars canon material. Del Gormo, a character created by Chuck Hamilton for a 1996 ‘Design An Alien’ contest in Star Wars Galaxy Magazine, was initially part of the Star Wars Legends continuity. This Hysalrian Jedi Master is known for his unique appearance as a serpentine, four-armed figure.
Del Gormo’s potential return to canon comes through a name-drop in Steven Barnes’ book, specifically from the perspective of Mace Windu. According to the book, Del Gormo’s role as one of Yoda’s mentors is presented as a rumor, with Mace Windu expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of this information. This mention aligns with the trend of incorporating concepts from Legends into the new canon, potentially enriching the Star Wars universe with deeper lore and character histories.
The original backstory of Del Gormo involved training Yoda and a human companion after they crash-landed on his swamp planet. He allegedly identified their Force sensitivity and took them in as his Padawans. While this specific backstory remains part of Legends, the recent mention in canon material opens up possibilities for exploring Yoda’s early life and training.
If Del Gormo’s role is further developed in future Star Wars content, it could provide new insights into Yoda’s mysterious past. However, it’s important to note that the current canonical status of Del Gormo as Yoda’s master is not definitively confirmed, leaving room for further exploration and interpretation within the Star Wars universe.
This potential reintroduction of N’Kata Del Gormo demonstrates the ongoing evolution of Star Wars canon, as it continues to draw inspiration from and reimagine elements of the rich Legends continuity. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely for any further developments regarding this intriguing character and his possible connections to one of the franchise’s most beloved and enigmatic figures.
