Introduction
Have you ever wondered, why doesn't R2 recognize the Jedi Master in ep. 5? Especially since the two had fought together throughout the Clone Wars. Here, I give my best answer.

What's up guys hope you all had a great week been a little while since I've been able to do this I've just been filming and prepping for the euro 2 video, which might be coming out tonight.
So I think I'm on this will be via 97.
So I have 98 99 to do, but it's, a yes, I enjoyed it so much it's just it's, very comical and everything I do on you.
This is supposed to be pretty funny.
Anyways, I wanted to do a video about something that I saw in the Star Wars universe because I've been watching through the Clone Wars and I got to the last couple episodes, which if you know know that it's a it's a journey that Yoda goes on that's, kind of like a lost tales or something like that.
And a lot of the episodes get into like this yet, I write before they find out about the big betrayal in Episode three.
And so they're, digging into seif ideas, they're finding out about the plot that the dark side has against them or and Yoda goes on a journey of self-discovery it's where he finds out about far gone.
And during that time I had to ask myself, why doesn't r2d2 remember Yoda there's, just nothing that's really brought up.
However, clearly in the Clone Wars series Yoda and our to go on this mission together for I assume a few days, perhaps a week, but you know, three episodes I think is what it is.
And one of the places they go to is Dagobah.
So the question is, why in Episode five does our to not remember Yoda won cause he knows Yoda and - he's been today over with.
So why not so I came up with three ideas.
And of course, none of this is canon.
This is just my thoughts, of course, to me canon as as everything before Disney and anything in Disney that I like nicely because I like the old stuff, the legends all the books I grew up reading all that.
So anyways, in case, you hadn't been on the channel that long.
So none of this has been written down as far as I know.
But so my thoughts are I think there's, three reasons first of all I think it just talks about how how the droids are supposed to work there's.
A reason that they memory-wipe all the droids there's.
A couple reasons one is because you know, okay, they tend to carry around classified information.
But also because just as you, you know, no one you're on your cell phone like the more memory you have in there, the slower it works.
So if you and sometimes droids behave differently, when they have too much memory, which is why c-3po is wiped all the time.
But on that note, it's kind of as a side rabbit trail, c-3po in Episode, four remembers that Clone Wars, but he's been mine white.
So I, don't know what what's going on there.
But yeah, so I think the fact that r2 has not had his memory wiped as far as we know, the his brain, his calculations, probably don't work as well as they used to because he's got so much information stored up in that little body of this and he's trying to run all these other programs.
So he probably doesn't, you know, have everything just kind of like an old man, you know, probably doesn't, remember everything he forgets.
Thanks.
Similarly, the Droid has so much memory, you know, losses things or it just kind of clouds and causes the rest to malfunction a little bit.
So that's, one, one thought I had and one another is that Yoda is just so different in episode 5.
He kind of acts like a crazy guy like a hermit he's been gone for 20 years, live and he's.
Just different he's.
Not the same.
You know, des that we see and so it's possible that our two, you know, didn't think anything of it.
You know, it been 20 years your even though he had said, the name, you know, combine the two he looked.
He didn't look like the Yoda and so it's possible also that year two had used like a force power to conceal his identity, I mean, he'd kind of gone to dig of it because it's such heavy in the dark side in general.
And so that masked his presence and then it's possible that it even masked, his presence to like normal people who can't see the force and even maybe droids.
So I don't know about that.
And so it's very possible that Yoda, you know, used a power on him or it's because that he he acts so different even here.
And then you know, my other thought is that r2 has had 20 more years of information into his logs.
And if it hasn't been mine white, then which I don't think r2 has ever been mine warrant.
Then it makes sense for him, not to really be able to comprehend everything, which I hate to say about Archie because he's, you know, I think the best Droid in the universe him in Threepio ever every other droid is kind of like a take-off on those two they're, trying to match the greatness of those two some fail.
Some don't I think the ones that usually do well are the ones that don't match them that they don't look like they're, trying to mask them or match them.
So bb8, I like him, I like the droid from wrote one I can never remember his name.
There I like HK 47 from the video games.
It's blanking on me of the moment coat or not sale, Republic I like him I, even like the Droid that the other drawer I, forget his name that you get in that the protocol, drawing I mean, the astromech droid.
So yeah, that's that's kind of another sad Tanger there.
But yeah, so I think that's.
Why are you arty doesn't recognize you - I bet you that yota probably remembers our -? You know, he remembers sayings, but it's possible that living in isolation for 20 years on Dagobah that's kind of messed with our tooth or with Yoda's brain, but I think he was definitely testing the and in r2 so I bet you that Yoda knew exactly he or she was obi-wan.
Remember him.
So yeah, or at least somewhat I mean after 20 years, you know, saying all sorts of different drawers.
You probably don't, remember specific droids unless you're Anakin.
So and I already did a video on that why anakin doesn't hang out with droids.
So if you're interested, you can check that out I'll try to link that.
Anyway.
So that's my thoughts, let me know what you thought you know, old age of r2 with not getting his memory.
Wives Yoda might be using a fourth power, slash the dark side of the planet and then you're just acting so different.
So those are my three thoughts on that.
And let me know what you think I'm interested to hear what you have to think about that and I will catch you next time.
Hopefully pretty soon you'll get the the New Year video and I'll catch you next time.
Peace.
FAQs
Did R2-D2 recognize Yoda on Dagobah? ›

Does Grogu remember R2-D2? ›We also know Grogu doesn't remember who saved him, which explains why the reaction wasn't mutual. R2's past in between trilogies is still a mystery, and The Mandalorian finale revives an old theory: R2 is actually a rebel agent.

What was Yoda's mistake? ›Master Yoda failed Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones, and it resulted in the destruction of the Jedi Order.

That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.

Qui-Gon spoke to Yoda on Dagobah and led him to a cave that was strong with the dark side of the Force. Inside it, the Jedi Grandmaster experienced a vision of Darth Sidious's victory. Yoda now understood that the dark side would triumph, and he must find another way to defeat the Sith.
