The following contains spoilers from Star Wars: Yoda #2, on sale now from Marvel Comics.

In the Star Wars Universe, Master Yoda has made mistakes as a Jedi. He didn't pay close attention to the Sith and Palpatine, which allowed the Republic to be replaced by the Empire. Not to mention, Yoda's divided attention enabled Order 66 to run riot and kill many warriors. Most of all, it's his mistake with Count Dooku that resonates deeply.

If Yoda had nipped their schism in the bud, he might have stopped Dooku from swaying to the Dark Side. Sadly, this knocked over dominoes that created a path for Anakin Skywalker to become Darth Vader, leaving fans wondering if the galaxy would have been saved had Yoda and Dooku patched their rift. Well, in Star Wars: Yoda #3 (by Cavan Scott, Nico Leon, Dono Sánchez-Almara, and VC's Joe Caramagna), the wise, green sage makes amends by healing his bond with another lost protégé.

Yoda Made an Attempt to Repair Broken Relationships

In Yoda #3, the Jedi master heads back to the oceanic planet, Turrak, in the Outer Rim. There, Yoda reconnects with Bree, who's been living in regret after thinking he was a champion for the Scalvi for murdering the Crulkon leader in Riak. While this brought peace to his people, it was an uneasy one. More so, Yoda felt like he failed, as he never wanted a young Bree to become a killer, thinking he taught him better.

Luckily, years later, Bree is wiser, regretting what he did. When they meet again Bree shows the patience, humility, and kindness Yoda always believed he held within. Bree eventually returns a child his family kidnapped to the Crulkon, opening his village to them, so they could share food and resources. It warms Yoda's heart, which is why he touts the alliance up to Coruscant and feels like he can head home a happy mentor.

Yoda's Compassion is Bittersweet

Now, what's interesting is how Yoda paid more attention to Bree and had faith and belief when he checked up on him as an adult. Yoda didn't do this when Dooku lost his own student in Qui-Gon Jinn, something that broke Dooku and made him more conflicted than duplicitous. Dooku thought the Jedi had become arrogant, ignoring the people and instead, becoming way too focused on order like a religious cult. This is why he could have been preyed upon easily, with his teacher leaving him alone and vulnerable. Admittedly, there's a double standard with Dooku then subscribing to the Sith's perspective and pledging fealty as Darth Tyranus to Sidious.

Still, he was hedging his bets as he felt neglected, echoed in how the council also ignored Qui-Gonn's warnings about Darth Maul and the Sith. If Yoda had worked closely with Qui-Gon and then attended to Dooku as a former teacher, this may well have steeled them up for the future. This compassion and empathy could have served as the cure to helping Dooku stay on the right side of history. Instead, Yoda offers this up to Bree decades later, which ultimately has Bree walking back the darkness within and being an inspirational hero Yoda's proud to call his own.
