[Update 4:24PM PT] The initial rumor about the upcoming Disney Stars Wars movies was that they’re being based on an old plot by George Lucas. The latest rumor, courtesy of Ain’t It Cool News, is that Yoda will be getting his own film. Can you imagine a two-hour movie full of a diminutive, back-flipping Jedi spouting English with funky syntax? While you’re thinking about it, here’s a quote from the article:
Well, to start with they’re going to focus on established characters and do solo films. The first Stand Alone film is going to center upon YODA.
Yoda is pretty awesome, but I don’t know about him carrying a whole movie. My initial reactions are that he’s better in a supporting role and that this rumor is bunk. Still…stranger things have happened, especially in a galaxy far, far away.
Do you think Yoda can carry an entire movie? Would you watch it?
Update: Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed that there are plans for standalone movies that are separate from the next trilogy. He didn’t confirm that Yoda would be the first subject.
Yeah I don’t think I’d be able to make it through a whole movie with yoda speak.
Today’s rumors are that the standalone movies will include young Han Sola and Boba Fett. Those seemed like obvious choices. I’ll write a Coffee Talk expanding on that matter. This could be fun.
