Editing Dagobah (section)

==Depiction==
The similarly mono-thematic "swampy, fog-shrouded planet of Mimban" appearing in the novel ''[[Splinter of the Mind's Eye]]'', published between the films ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars: A New Hope]] and'' [[The Empire Strikes Back]], "might have inspired the production design for Dagobah".<ref>{{cite book |last=Freeman |first=Matthew |editor-last1=Guynes |editor-first1=Sean |editor-last2=Hassler-Forest |editor-first2=Dan |date=2017 |title=''Star Wars'' and the History of Transmedia Storytelling |publisher=[[Amsterdam University Press]] |url=https://researchspace.bathspa.ac.uk/9365/1/9365.pdf |pages=69–70 |chapter=From Sequel to Quasi-Novelization: ''Splinter of the Mind's Eye'' and the 1970s Culture of Transmedia Contingency |isbn=9789462986213}}</ref><ref name=Booy>{{cite book |last=Booy |first=Miles |date=2021 |title=Interpreting Star Wars: Reading a Modern Film Franchise |publisher=[[Bloomsbury Publishing]] |pages=70, 85-86, 91 |isbn=978-1-5013-6475-4}}</ref>

===Film===
Dagobah was originally featured in the 1980 film ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In its first appearance, the main protagonist of the film, [[Luke Skywalker]], is attempting to land his [[X-wing]] starfighter on the planet and is met with a dense fog causing him to crash land in a small [[bayou]]. Shortly after his landing, the [[Jedi Master]] Yoda is introduced during his time in exile. Yoda reluctantly agrees to train Skywalker and during his training many aspects of the planet's environment are utilized. Moss-covered rocks are used for training in [[telekinesis]], the undergrowth makes treks through the jungles more challenging, and vines hanging from tall trees are used as means to get across small bodies of water and other obstacles. Skywalker is shown to sense the strength of the Force in a particular cave on the planet which Yoda tells him to go into. Inside the cave, Skywalker is met with a mental challenge the dark side of the Force developed for him.

The planet is also seen briefly in ''Return of the Jedi'' to depict Yoda's death and is featured in a deleted scene from ''Revenge of the Sith'' showing Yoda's arrival on the planet. [[George Lucas]] reportedly said it was removed so the film would not have "too many endings."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://starwarz.com/tbone/jedi-master-yoda/|title=Jedi Master Yoda|date=October 2, 2012|website=T-bone's Star Wars Universe|access-date=January 1, 2019}}</ref> The scene was released under the title "Exile to Dagobah" on the film's DVD.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2005/11/01/stars-wars-episode-iii-revenge-sith/|title=Stars Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith|last=Ross|first=Dalton|date=November 1, 2005|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|access-date=January 1, 2019}}</ref>

===Other media===
''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)|The Clone Wars]]'' featured Dagobah in a sixth-season episode, in which Yoda traveled to the planet as part of his own training to gain immortality through the Force.

In the [[Star Wars expanded to other media|''Star Wars'' expanded universe]], Yoda confronted a Bpfasshi [[Dark Jedi]] on Dagobah, some years before the events in ''The Empire Strikes Back'', and the cave where the Dark Jedi died became strong in the dark side of the Force. ''[[Star Wars Tales]]'' later retconned this event to take place earlier, with another Jedi of [[Yoda's species]] named Minch replacing Yoda.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}} Dagobah was also visited by the main characters of the ''[[Galaxy of Fear]]'' series, where it was home for a time to a tribe of cannibals. During the events of ''[[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]'', a team of [[Jedi|Jedi Knights]] from the [[New Jedi Order]] visit Dagobah, to find the cave drained of its former menace.

Dagobah appears as a hub world in ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]''. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thegamer.com/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga-dagobah-kyber-bricks-locations-guide/|title=Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - All Kyber Bricks Locations In Dagobah|last=Serin|first=Kaan|date=April 19, 2022|access-date=December 22, 2024|publisher=The Gamer}}</ref>

After the events of ''Return of the Jedi'', the [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]] founded a military base on one of the greatest mountains of the planet, named 'Mount Yoda' after the Jedi Master.<ref>Davids, H & Davids, P., ''Star Wars: Mission From Mount Yoda'', Bantam Spectra, 1993</ref>
