Star Wars Rumor Du Jour: Yoda Standalone Movie

By Matt Oakes · February 5, 2013
Star Wars Rumor Du Jour: Yoda Standalone Movie
 

The Star Wars rumor mill is buzzing again, this time on Yoda focus it shall. Ain’t It Cool News has reported the scoop that the Dagobah dwelling halfling will be getting an origin story all of his own per the massive four billion dollar Disney buyout which gave them exclusive rights to anything and everything Star Wars.

WithJJ Abrams confirmed to direct Episode 7 of the new trilogy and a rumoredZack Synder Star Wars/Samurai mash up, this just goes to show that Disney is really throwing all that it’s got at their newly acquired property.

While I’d admit to being a little interested to see the roots of the lil green waddler, an entire movie with Yoda’s wacky syntax might just be a little much. Add that to the fact that Yoda would be a CGI lead character in a live action movie and the house of cards is already a little more than wobbly. However, if Disney worked a little magic and put this Yoda project under the capable hands of Pixar, we might have quite a prospect on our hands.

I’m just hoping Disney doesn’t follow Yoda’s philosophy of — “Try not. Do or not do, there is no try” — because I’d really rather see them actually try and not just do.

What do you think, would you rather see a Star Wars Origins: WolverYoda or see the franchise focus on some new unexplored characters? Or better yet, a featurette on a carbonite-encapsulated Han Solo all done in dream sequence. Hey, at least it’s not Roots 2: JJ Binks.
