Getting His Own Movie, Yoda Is

There's been a lot of talk about Star Wars spinoff movies ever since Disney bought the Star Wars empire. I know I'm not alone in saying that people would like to see a Boba Fett movie. Well, it looks like Disney has made their decision on who will get the first spinoff movie...Yoda! Keep reading for details.

According to Ain't It Cool News via Next Movie:

"To start with, they're going to focus on established characters and do solo films," AICN's Harry Knowles said about Disney's plans to expand their "Star Wars" empire. "The first Stand Alone film is going to center upon Yoda.  At this stage specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a 'Star Wars' slate."

 

""I've also heard tale of a Jabba story that Lucas has floated to some of his buddies," he added. "But word is Yoda is first."

 

Of course, considering Yoda (who is voiced by puppeteer Frank Oz) was over 900 years old in the original trilogy, there seems to be plenty of room to expand upon what little we know of his history. So exactly what the film will be about is still pretty much a complete mystery (anyone else want to see a Mrs. Yoda?). But one thing is sure: With Disney in charge and going full steam ahead, this is likely just the first of many announcements to come.

 

Is this good news for you?
