Star Wars Spin-Off Movies - Starting with Yoda?

[Monsters For Sale]

My interest in "Star Wars" pretty much begins and ends with the first movie - original theatrical version.

But Disney wants to milk the franchise for all it is worth.  So maybe this will be welcome news for some of you:

Can't wait till Disney get's serious with this, and does a Jar Jar Binks sitcom for Disney Jr.

  Sounds like time to start selling any Disney stocks you have, because these "Spin offs" are most likely to bomb.

that'd be great. And no that's not sarcasm hidden in that response. Ive always loved the Jar-Jar Binks character and never understood why he got so much bigotry-laden reactions.

I thought the person was giving an example of SW spin-offs that could be possible.

The article posted here was completely legit......I was referencing specifically to your post!

It'd still be a cool idea for an animated TV series. A bunch of Gungans with Jar-Jar Binks in the center of it all in the underwater city of Otah Gunga and the wacky adventures that follow. It'd be a throwback to 'The Ewok Adventures'.

They actually had Jar Jar on Clone Wars a few times but they kept his appearances limited and his antics to a minimum.....it wasn't as bad as his movie appearances!

yeah, I remember seeing him! I still loved him in Phantom Menace though.

George Lucas was toying with the idea of a Yoda standalone feature as far back as 1985. He brought up the possibility again in 2005, after "Revenge of the Sith" was released. Since it was rumored the live-action "Star Wars" series would have centered around Boba Fett and other bounty hunters, but the series never got off the ground, that's a natural progression. The only idea I'd really be against is a Young Han Solo film. I don't think they could recast that role.

There is no reason to have a young Han Solo in any film about Yoda, considering I don't believe the two ever met.  By the way, isn't a "Spaceballs" continuation way over due?  Perhaps Brooks himself could play Yogurt.

These would be seperate prequel/origin stories, Han and Yoda will not be seen meeting for lunch at Mos Eisley!

I know man. It'll be great.
