Star Wars: 10 Spin-Off Movies We'd Like To See

7. The Yoda Chronicles

The diminutive green chap is another iconic character who wasn€™t handled particularly well by the prequels and arguably now deserves a shot at leading his own movie to make up for it. There€™s already been talk of a Yoda movie, and there are a couple of directions you could take with it. An obvious one would be Yoda: Origins, taking us back through the centuries to the childhood and Jedi upbringing of Frank Oz€™s character. Did he fight any Sith in his youth? Did he ever display a temper? Who taught him to backflip? These are questions that could have interesting answers. Or you could place a Yoda movie somewhere between Revenge Of The Sith and The Empire Strikes Back. There€™s a lot of time there. Did Yoda ever break his exile? Did Vader go looking for him? Again, there€™s story potential there if the right scriptwriter got his hands on it. Personally, I would rather see the latter option €“ a Yoda film between his other appearances, but maybe one with a few flashbacks to tell us about his past. Maybe something like Man Of Steel€™s structure could be used, allowing us to see Yoda€™s earlier life in flashbacks intercut with the main story. A good film, this could be.
