Why it is so...

There is a lot of debate whether the continents were ever one super continent. Both sides have good arguments but i have the real answer. They were two giant continents on opposite sides of the earth. This was so long ago that Yoda was just a teenager. Yoda and his people lived on one of the continents. The other was occupied by wookies. The two continents hated each other and the waged war. There was so much fighting that the continents began to split and the inhabitents thought the world was ending so they hoped in their space ships and went to find different planets to live on.
