ST Is Boba Fett really dead....?

If the rumor is true that it will be Yoda, Solo, and Fett, I wonder why they would start out at the lowest common denominator? It seems they would want to get interest up with a bang by starting with the other two- who clearly would draw more interest from the general audience.

 

Don't forget about the most powerful man in the galaxy literally being chucked down a shaft into the Death Star's core.

 

Boba Fett is extremely popular within Star Wars fandom, but let's face it... He simply does not have as much name recognition or popularity amongst the general populace as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Yoda. I"m not saying they shouldn't make a Boba Fett movie, but it will be a very tricky row to hoe.

 

Or the most awesome, terrifying combat weapons being beatable by tying some string around the legs...

 

Now you're making me hopeful.

 

I think the original source is here: http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/lawrence-kasdans-standalone-star-wars-movie-may-focus-on-boba-fett

Still just a grain-of-salt-type rumor, though.

 

That's very true. It's more the OOU directorial decisions, the tone of the confrontation, the playing for yucks, than the in-universe circumstances, which feels inconsistent with the way Fett was handled in ESB.

But you're absolutely right.

 

What, you don't think a big-budget snuff film can be a money maker?

 

Yeah, but they aren't talking about making a Jabba movie. Nobody who is shown to be so lame as Jabba and Fett was really deserves a spotlight movie.

 

Didn't someone official at some point say that there is a character that is connected to Rebels and Ep7?

 

Bah! As I've said before, a gangster flick starring Jabba could be great, too. This same thing was to be a large part of the premise of the Underground live-action show, after all. Both Fett and the Hutt's were said to have been front-and-center, working in Lower Coruscant, and if it could have worked there, I see no reason to think it cannot be made to work in a film(s).

And "deserves"? Come on, bro. Marketing the thing may be a different thing, but if it's a well acted and skillfully produced piece of cinema, centered on a good script, no amount of "deserves" will mean a darn thing. A good film will still be a good film. And that can be applied to almost any SW character.

 

That was definitely something which was making the rounds, but I cannot recall if it was from anybody in an official capacity.

 

Good gosh.

This character is so overrated and this is going to turn out to be a disaster.

 

Like I said, it's just my opinion. No part of me would rail if a Fett movie came to be and as I already also mentioned before, I would watch it and ultimately enjoy it. I just think that they could do so much better than Boba Fett.

 

Well aren't you all sunshine and daisies.

 

All I can say is, if it happens, it had better be a good movie (and generally agreed upon as such), or God help us all in SW land! The disagreements would never end...

 

At least he's staying positive.

 

I think the best bet is for Boba Fett to appear in the probable Solo origin movie. I just don’t think he’s enough of a draw to carry his own film.

 

His twin Italian brother Bubba Fettucini will swear bloody vengeance upon the Solos.

 

This is one of those times when I wish marketing and business could take a backseat to art.

I'd murder to get a Palpatine film starring Ian McDiarmid, pre-TPM, that's well written and directed, with a tone more like a dark drama-mystery than a family friendly space opera.

 

That's exactly how I want to go.

 

Don't we all?
