Star Wars: 10 Reasons Yoda Shouldn't Get His Own Spin-Off

6. He Needs To Remain Mysterious

yoda statue There€™s a wonder and an awe to how this tiny little fella became an all-powerful Jedi. But some things are better left to the imagination, to give someone an air of mystery that also lends him power. Vader is the key comparison. I don€™t recall watching A New Hope and thinking €œOK, the villain is good, but how did he get like that?€ I just wanted more of that brilliant character, especially when the explanation was eventually put together so clumsily in the prequels. I don€™t care why he walks with a stick, why his ears are so big, whether his mother was lime green or not, he€™s fine as he is thanks €“ a shamanic guru with a funny way of talking.

I'm a Westcountry exile now living in Yorkshire with lovely wife and cats (also lovely). I'm a big fan of films, robots, timetravel, and films about timetravelling robots, as well as lots of other action, sci-fi and comedy. I'm currently trying to write a sitcom that doesn't involve robots, and I also blog nonsense on timolsky.blogspot.com. Thanks for taking the time to read my stuff, and feel free to comment.
