    The question now is who will direct since Trank's been kicked to the curb. Christopher McQuarrie, perhaps?

    Has anyone kept up with any rumors on directors that are in touch with LucasFilm at the moment?

    I haven't, but I know McQuarrie helped out with the Rogue One screenplay, so he has an in already.

    an origin story?
    so is this why TCW Bounty Hunter arc was never released?

    Main problem with a Boba Fett movie is the PT did a lot of dammage to the character. He used to be a cool mysterious bounty hunter, now his silly, shark-jumping origin story told us he's an unaltered clone. Could lucasfilm writers decide the Fett name has become a mantle and the Boba Fett we'll see in the movie is not the same we saw in the PT? Like the new sherif on jakku who wears his armor in the aftermath books?

    Boba Fett is the guy's name. It makes NO sense for it to be a mantle. 'Fett' is literally Boba's father. If they use "mantle" as an excuse to hire a white guy for the movie, it will be the most eye-rolling decision Lucasfilm has done in years.

    If "Boba Fett" becomes a mantle it'll be because the clone made it a name with an accompanying reputation worth taking advantage of. I don't what about PT makes it only possible for the clone to only be badass off screen. Cause even if replaced he still needs to be a badass for someone else to want to bother taking his name.

    The mantle thing would be strange...but the point is Fett's backstory was one of the worst retcon in SW history...kinda ruined the character for most fans...how can they manage to overcome this? Maybe they just wont mention all the clone/jango fett stuff but it was such a disappointing retcon i dont know how the character can find his mystic back.

    I kind of like the idea of Boba Fett becoming a Mantle, it has a Batman vibe to it.

    I don't mind the way they took Boba if I'm honest, but I would defiantly prefer a Jango movie over Boba any day.

    As of now, I’m still lukewarm on the idea of a Boba Fett movie. The only way, at the moment, that I would muster some excitement for it is if it was revealed to take place post-ROTJ.

    Have a hard time taking Boba Fett serious after the way a blind Han inadvertently disposed of him in ROTJ

    My thoughts on this are the same as with everything we've gotten out of Disney: would it kill you mother ****ers to do something NOT about the OT? I've liked a lot of their output, minus the movies, but man am I not a fan of how the most boring part of Star Wars is the one getting the most attention.

    Because it's also the most popular, acclaimed, and beloved, at least to the general audience. So from their perspective, it makes all the sense in the world to start there.

    I wonder if anyone at Disney has brought up Joe Johnston's name yet? He's worked with Disney before, has wanted to make a movie like this for years, and he did help create/conceive the character as well even.

    They'll both be done and I'd rather wait on the Kenobi film for 2021 or whenever.

    Me too, big time. It would be a nice point of difference to the Han Solo film as well. The life of a smuggler, then the life of a bounty hunter.

    Interesting. Production Weekly has now taken the "Untitled Boba Fett Star Wars Story" listing down. Maybe it was a mistake?

    Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like a terrible movie? What is so exciting about Boba Fett?

    For me, it's more about a "bounty hunters in space" adventure that I want to see.

    Obviously since Boba Fett is Star Wars most famous one with some public familiarity, he would be the star.

    how many times is bounty hunter in space going to be done? bounty hunter alone is a boring over played story at this point. it would probably have west world to han solo feels they are already making the han solo movie this would just be a snooze fest.

    There's a metric tonne of EU material about Boba Fett that has him talking and acting alot... and he's still the worst nightmare of alot of people. I'll admit I am biased, being a Fett-fan, but from a realistic standpoint, he CAN be featured in his own film set after Episode VI, quite possibly opening with his daring escape from the Sarlacc. That's no small feat, which is a great opener because it sets the stage for more badassery in the rest of the film. Even the casual fan would be interested.
