Star Wars Spin-Off: Why I Think Yoda Should Get a Standalone Origin Movie!

Who's your favourite Star Wars character? Could it be Yoda, perhaps? He's definitely one of the most well-loved and interesting, with a whole history that could easily be turned into a movie all on its own � a Star Wars �spinoff� as Kieran Jacob Drapper suggests in his blog post � rather than part of a trilogy.

He just might have a good idea there. The new Star Wars trilogy, beginning with �The Force Awakens,� which opens on December 18th, will take us about thirty years into the future (after the last episode, which was �Return of the Jedi), to a world where Yoda is not likely to exist. For many Star Wars fans, this is a sad fact indeed. Drapper is suggesting that, instead of going into the future, we must first go into the past to do a full-on origin story about Yoda. Where did he come from? What was his family like? How did he become a Jedi? Many fascinating seeds have been planted throughout the Star Wars movies regarding Yoda's past, seeds that could easily grow into a vivid biography of Yoda's life.

Another big reason Drapper gives for making a new Yoda film are that there are too many questions left unanswered in the earlier films. What about Yoda's teacher, for example, N'Kata Del Gormo. He was said to be a snake-like being who was also a Jedi Master. He trained Yoda... But how? Was it in a similar way that Yoda trained the young Luke Skywalker (hopefully not as we don't want to rehash all of that � it's already been done), but there is a huge potential for telling this story in a wholly new and unique way!
