In a shocking twist that has left Star Wars fans in disbelief, the latest installment of the franchise has revealed that the beloved Jedi master Yoda was actually the mastermind behind the Sith all along.
According to sources close to the production, the idea was first floated during a brainstorming session where the writers were trying to come up with ways to subvert fan expectations.
"Someone suggested, 'What if Yoda was evil?' and we all just kind of looked at each other like, 'Yeah, that's it,'" said one writer, who wished to remain anonymous.
From there, the writers worked tirelessly to retrofit Yoda's character arc to fit the new narrative. They dug through old scripts and consulted with Star Wars lore experts to make sure the story held up.
"We had to be really careful not to contradict anything that had already been established in the universe," said the anonymous writer. "It was a lot of work, but we think it was worth it."
The movie itself, titled "Rise of the Sith Master," is said to contain several flashback scenes that show Yoda manipulating the forces of evil from behind the scenes. One particularly memorable moment shows Yoda cackling maniacally as he orders the destruction of Alderaan.
Fans who have already seen the movie are split on the twist. Some have praised it as a bold move that keeps the franchise fresh, while others feel that it undermines Yoda's character and the themes of the previous movies.
"It just feels like a betrayal," said fan Jessica Nguyen. "Yoda was supposed to be wise and good, and now he's just another one of the bad guys."
Others have taken to social media to share their own theories about what other beloved Star Wars characters might secretly be Sith Lords.
"Personally, I think Jar Jar Binks is definitely evil," tweeted user @StarWarsFan69. "All that bumbling is just an act to throw us off his trail."
While the future of the Star Wars franchise remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: the revelation that Yoda was behind the Sith is a twist that will be talked about for years to come.
