Defender of the Home Tree is what the Wookiees who inhabit Kashyyyk called Yoda, the Jedi Order's Grand Master, because he aided them in numerous difficult discussions with the Trandoshans, their neighbors in the system. Furthermore, Yoda received this title for his assistance in the defense of Kashyyyk against Separatist attackers during 19 BBY.
