FANDOM HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS: Who is "The Other"?

Into A Larger World

Jan 11 2024 • 12 mins

Today is the third installment in the Fandom History Highlights series. If one thing is true about Star Wars fans, it's that we love to speculate in the lead up to a new film. In the early 80s, as Return of the Jedi approached, fans were wildly speculating over Yoda's line on Dagobah...who is "The Other"? Listen along as Kara takes you into the pages of some early 80s fanzines to find out what the theories were. What were the fans saying? Who did they suspect? And what was their reaction when the truth was revealed?
