An awesome illustration of Yoda that I first stumbled upon at a store in my local mall.

Star Wars Spin-Offs Are On The Way! A few weeks after Lucasfilm indefinitely postponed the 3-D theatrical re-releases of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith so the company could focus on the production of Episode VII, Disney announced that a few Star Wars spin-offs will also be in the works while J.J. Abrams prepares to develop the first installment in the sequel trilogy. The standalone flicks will supposedly center on Yoda, a young Han Solo and Boba Fett. Seeing Yoda go all Sonic the Hedgehog with his lightsaber in his own film would be cool...though his backward talk may be a bit much for 90-plus minutes (maybe even bordering on the torture moviegoers had to endure with Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace). Rumor has it that the Han Solo flick would have an Ocean's Eleven-type plot to show what kind of "scoundrel" Solo was prior to meeting Luke, Obi-Wan and Greedo in the Mos Eisley cantina in A New Hope, while it remains to be seen how Boba Fett's own feature film will play out. Needless to say, it's gonna be an action flick. And in case you're wondering why the majority of the pics posted with this entry centers on the mysterious bounty hunter (well...mysterious before Attack of the Clones came out in theaters, that is), just look at all of those bad-ass artwork that I found online! I also Googled some kick-ass illustrations of Yoda welding his lightsaber, but nothing beats the Fett-meister—except a well-placed push into the Sarlacc Pit.

Still no word on whether Harrison Ford will be welding a blaster again in STAR WARS: EPISODE VII.
