    Yoda Might Get His Own New 'Star Wars' Movie

    By Esther Zuckerman | The Atlantic Wire – Tue, Feb 5, 2013

    Ready are you? Yoda might get his own movie, according to Harry Knowles at Ain't It Cool News. While we all know that J.J. Abrams is going to direct Episode VII, Knowles reports that Disney, which now owns Lucasfilm, is planning to also make stand-alone movies about familiar characters, and apparently the first one is going to be about Yoda.  "At this stage specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a STAR WARS slate..." Knowles writes. "I'm wildly curious for more details on the YODA film - would this be a young or old YODA tale?"

    Obviously details of the Yoda film are sparse, and Knowles's sources can be good and bad. Let's also not forget that the Star Wars rumor mill is positively abuzz and often totally wrong, or at least misguided — Zack Snyder had been rumored to be working on a Jedi film.

    So at this point, speculate at will. While we love the little green guy as much as the next person, how much sage advice can be doled out over the course of an entire movie? The Star Wars geeks, for now, are very excited, and less so, but their grammar is all bad:

    50/50 on this: Yoda not far, soon you will be with him – when his own Star Wars movie he has gu.com/p/3dhyj/tw via @guardian

    RUMOR: the screenplay for the Yoda movie is just a regular script run through Google Translate.

    Disney are working on a standalone Yoda movie. Okay Disney, you've had your fun. Lets just have a nice brew, sit you down and talk this out.

      Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.

      By Linda Sieg and Ruairidh Villar SAGAMIHARA, Japan (Reuters) - When Masayoshi Matsumoto joined the Japanese army in 1943 and was sent to occupied China as a medic, he thought he was taking part in a righteous war to free Asia from the yoke of Western imperialism. Seven decades later, the 91-year-old retired Christian pastor says it's his mission to speak out about the injustice of the war and the sufferings of women, mostly Asian and many Korean, forced to work in Japanese wartime military brothels.
