The character is pretty much universally loved.
There is so much mystery around him before the prequels - we can't count books for most of the public.
Tha animations don't count (clone wars).
The 'Child' shows just how much audience appeal he has.
Dude lives forever so they have at least 20 seasons off the bat.

I just don't get it when they seem to take risks with Solo etc. Mando was very good

 

[Tschumi]

Seriously: i see the lore gap.. I'd just as soon they (disney) left well enough alone lol

 

[DKehoe]

I just don't get it when they seem to take risks with Solo etc.

Solo was a risk? "What if we did a film about Han Solo" doesn't seem like a big creative risk.

 

[Soodanim]

My best guess is that it’s one of those things best left to the imagination, because the reality probably won’t live up to it anyway. There would undoubtedly be some plot hole that fans would cry about. Having said that, when has that ever stopped anyone?

Give me a Yoda in high school drama series.

 

[INC]

Shit it would be
Watch i would not

 

[Methos#1975]

Isn't the High Republic stuff that is coming focused on him?

 

[Porcile]

Because Yoda is a good side-character but a fucking stupid main character.

 

[NahaNago]

He wouldn't work seriously as the main character of a movie unless it was pure comedy. Your best bet for this would be an cartoon yoda. Not the cg stuff. That way it could be as over the top with the action and as goofy and funny as they want it to be.

 

[HarryKS]

Because he's short.

 

[mortal]

There is so much mystery around him

Isn't that a good thing?

 

[AJUMP23]

Do a movie about Yaddle that would be a real risk.

 

[Sybrix]

I think after Mandalorian, we will get some sort of show with a focus on Yoda on his species.

Not his own show, i think it would work best like how Gus Fring in Better Call Saul.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I'm sorry, the correct answer is "Less Star Wars" not "More Star Wars".

 

[kunonabi]

Isn't the High Republic stuff that is coming focused on him?

Not sure other than they use the books to blame for him for destroying the republic.

 

[FunkMiller]

Because Star Wars is fried piss now.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

I'd say it's because no one wants to spend 2 hours listening to a character talk like a fucking idiot. Unpopular opinion: Yoda is best in small doses...or not at all.

 

[Donwel]

As others have said, there's a certain amount of mystery surrounding Yoda that it would require a serious amount of talent and respect for the lore to create films or TV shows for the character and Disney has neither of those.
I'm still asshurt over them getting rid of Lucasarts.

 

[daveonezero]

Isn't that a good thing?

Bingo. We done even know what their species is. And there are 3 in the whole series.

also OP the Animated series does count and Yoda was awesome in a lot of that.

God can you imagine a full hour of yoda speak?

kill myself I will if I had to endure it long.

Compare thee to a summer's day, shall I? hmphhhmnm

and the fucking throat cancer kermit voice...

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Personally I think Disney should just leave all the OG trilogy shit alone. I think they should either go way back in the past like Kotor or way in the future. Actually come up with some worthwhile new characters/planets/races without having to use the original trilogy as a non stop crutch.

Until then, I just can not convince myself to be geniunely interested in anything Star Wars related

 

[Pagusas]

The problem with "mystery" surrounding a charecter is once you explore it... its gone. You'll rarely ever live up to what the inferred mystery could have been. All you do is take something away from a character when you remove that element.

I mean look at Solo. His back story was more or less a mystery, all we really got was "he's a smugler who occasionally pisses off a giant slug alien and he's a really good pilot that has a pretty cool ship". When the movie actually started explaining that stuff... it lost all its charm. The legend loses that "legend" statues when you know all the details.

 

[MrS]

Nobody wants to see him for the full duration of a film. There is a reason he's used sparingly and it's because he's annoying.

 

[Mossybrew]

Yoda is fucking played out and I never want to see his wizened bitch ass face ever again if I can help it.

 

[dave_d]

(yoda voice on)
hmm, interested nobody is.

Next week Plus Disney tune in you must. Exciting conclusion we have. Subscribe or do not. There is no trial free.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Because it's a terrible idea. Which is why Disney will probably end up doing it.

 

[Sybrix]

We'll get Yoda via The Mandalorian

The question is will Luke be as much of an asshole as Yoda was to him.

Do or do not. There is no try
