BACK TO TOP Site History Before the dawning of Yoda's Datapad as we know it, back around the end of the 20th Century, a beginning Star Wars fan created a website called the Star Wars Datapad. That fan's screen name was Rainbow Droideka. This site was developed rather sparsely, and quickly fell into disrepair. However, in March of the year 2000, the official Star Wars website announced that it would be partnering with Homestead.com to provide a service with which fans could create their own Star Wars websites, located at fan.starwars.com. Seeing this, Mr. Droideka decided to start anew, and soon signed up. Wanting a slightly more unique site name, and suspecting "Star Wars Datapad" to already be in use, he named the new site Yoda's Datapad. Rainbow Droideka began constructing a new Star Wars website, laying out its structure and beginning to add content. In December of 2000, Yoda's Datapad was released to the public. Thanks to the Star Wars fan site directory on fan.starwars.com, Yoda's Datapad received a number of visitors. Wanting to make his creation more easily accessible, on April 25th, 2001 Rainbow Droideka registered the domain name yodasdatapad.com. Free from the constraints of the Homestead Sitebuilder tool used on fan.starwars.com, Rainbow Droideka began crafting a new, more professional looking Yoda's Datapad. Now, the site is visited by dozens of people every day, and is one of the premier online sources for Star Wars themed instant messenger icons and previously for information on new and upcoming Star Wars books, though that feature has since been canceled because the developers were unable to maintain it.
