Last night, rumors started swirling around the internet that Disney is working on Stand Alone Star Wars films in addition to the new JJ Abrams helmed trilogy. Today Bob Iger is confirming it. There is even a rumor that the first film will be about Yoda. While we don’t have confirmation on the other part, Bob Iger just appeared on CNBC to confirm that the stand alone films will be happening.

Here’s what Iger had to say:

I can confirm to you today that in fact we are working on a few standalone films, Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga. We still plan to make Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015. But there are going to be a few other films released in that period, too.
