7 Star Wars Anthology Movies We’d Rather Have Than A Han Solo Prequel

4) Yoda And The Seven Jedi

It’s been rumoured for many years now that Yoda could be getting his own standalone movie. While that sounds like a safe bet in some ways, due to the tongue-tied Jedi being one of the most beloved and well-known of Star Wars characters, the idea of a Yoda spinoff has a few of the same drawbacks as the Han Solo prequel. Probably even more so. For one, do we really need to know Yoda’s life story?

We agree, then, with an idea that has been touted by a few fans before: meld the Yoda movie with another intriguing concept that’s also been floating about. Around about the time a Yoda prequel was touted, Zack Snyder was said to be developing a Star Wars film in the style of Seven Samurai, with a bunch of Jedi coming together to protect some innocents from an evil force.

But what if Yoda was the Jedi who banded these heroes together? That would allow us more Yoda and make use of the samurai-inspired story idea but avoid the pitfalls of a straight-up prequel. We’re thinking that it could feature a slightly younger Yoda, though, before he’s become the aged sage of his later life. The movie could see him go from a little green guy that no one thinks much of to one of the greatest Jedi heroes and leaders. What an amazing story arc that would be, right?

While they’re at it, they could even get Samuel L. Jackson back as Mace Windu, most likely as one of Yoda’s seven Jedi. The movie could also then explain how he becomes the wise Jedi Master of the prequels, as well.
