Tom Kane's name may not be instantly recognisable to you but his voice probably will be. The actor played Yoda in the popular Clone Wars animated series and he revealed during a recent convention appearance that Lucasfilm is indeed working on a plethora of Star Wars movies but one starring Yoda reportedly isn't in the works.
Despite Solo: A Star Wars Story's struggles at the box office, the studio isn't slowing down when it comes to developing additional spinoffs according to Kane. He even points out that there are a total of nine movies being worked on and that number actually makes sense.
After all, we have Episode IX on the way, not to mention films revolving around Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then, there are the potential trilogies from Rian Johnson and Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. That's a lot to look forward to but when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, we were promised a Yoda movie!
Perhaps the studio has realised that there's just not much of a desire for that particular spinoff but how much would this guy really know? Perhaps he's assuming it's not in the works because he hasn't been asked to voice the Jedi Master but it's more likely Lucasfilm would want Frank Oz, anyway!
