Ready are you? What know you of ready?
According to Harry Knowles
at Ain't It Cool News, the first stand alone movie within the "Star
Wars" universe could focus on Yoda. From Knowles report:
The
first Stand Alone film is going to center upon YODA. At this stage
specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a STAR
WARS slate... I'm wildly curious for more details on the YODA film -
would this be a young or old YODA tale?
Kennedy, who was
instrumental in getting J.J. Abrams to direct "Star Wars: Episode VII,"
took over as Lucasfilm head when George Lucas sold his billion dollar
production company to Disney last October. The plan was to not only
continue the "Star Wars" franchise with episodes "VII," "VIII" and "IX,"
but also expand the universe. That means single-focus films that live
within the world, not unlike what Marvel has done with "Thor," "Captain
America" and the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy." As Disney chairman
and CEO Robert Iger said, the hope is to release a "Star Wars" film
every "two or three years."
This isn't the first "Star Wars"
spin-off rumor to pop up here in 2013. Back in January, Vulture reported
that Zack Snyder would direct a "Star Wars" film that was a play on
"Seven Samurai." Snyder's representatives quickly shot that report down,
but Vulture reporter Claude Brodesser-Akner stood by his story. "This
reporter heard through a source very familiar with the situation that
Snyder recently flew up to Marin County to meet with Lucasfilm execs
about the project."
Expect more of these to pop up in the next
few years. "Star Wars: Episode VII" is the only "Star Wars" film loaded
for bear; with Abrams at the helm, it's expected to arrive in theaters
in 2015. (Probably.)
