YODA: Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be...except for Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger, Cal Kestis, Quinlan Vos,

LUKE: ...Who?

YODA: ...Gungi- the wookiee jedi kid,

LUKE: a Wookiee Jedi?? Master, isn't that a bit tireso-

YODA: NOT finished I was...Reva, some of the other Inquisitors i bet, Oppo Rancisis- the ugly-looking tree guy from Phantom Menace, he was. And Ka-Moon Kholi, Kelleran Beq, Selrahc Elous, Baylon Skoll, some guy named "Naq Med" if reading this right I am,

sorry not to ruin the joke (it's a really good joke) but -- "Jedi" is a title! Yoda is such a doctrine-obsessed, by-the-books, weird old goblin man that he only considers Jedis to be people he has personally approved and sworn in, since he's still the "head of the Jedi Order," 20 yrs in exile be damned! Yoda absolutely knows about other force-users but they don't mean shit to him, lol.

After seeing this delightful tweet at least a dozen times before, I read it a bit too closely this time and spoiled myself for A More Civilised Age xD

it's like, all of these stories work fine in isolation, i never needed obi-wan and yoda to be the ONLY survivors (the inquisitors are maybe the bigger conceptual retcon), but you keep telling these stories and the list keeps growing and eventually you wonder what the hell darth vader spent those 20 years actually doing

Yeah, it's not quite "trying to make a reasonable character with backstory out of Yoda" levels but it's absolutely one of the things that screws with things set in "modern" Star Wars and not distant past content.

My guess is that he spent a bunch of time in the sticks in quasi-exile after pissing off the Emperor, whose good graces he only recently got back into; this explains why most of the staff officers on Death Star I treat him like he's an underling (though, strictly speaking, out of their chain of command).

I was about to reply to this with “I think so, too!”

Some supplementary detail, here: I think the new Thrawn books explicitly support this scenario.

I swear that the franchise is like a calm, adult voice trying to explain how the Jedi are examples of toxic masculinity who only ever succeeded because of a handful of rule-breakers (the films), constantly being interrupted by a pre-teen (or marketing executive) shouting "but the Jedi are so cool" (everything else).

I don't say that in condemnation. I like that, and feel like a lot more people would like it if the writers played into it instead of just writing over each other...
