    And that is exactly as it should be.

    @Krueger , maybe they will just shoot it without a script? The Transformers movies prove you can do that and they will still make $.

    Amazing news. Great fit for this. I really hope he embraces noir and mystery a little more.

    Basically, write a script strong enough that if a private investigator was the lead instead of Fett it would still be a great movie. That’s what this needs, IMO.

    Completely agreed. It needs to be a Dashiell Hammett story... only with a jet pack and helmet.

    Loved Logan. But still not interested in this movie. Said the same thing when Solo was announced. But it turned out to be awesome. But I guess im just not looking forward to these series to be milked out.

    We're in a funny moment where we don't have much solid to gossip and speculate about.

    Lots of things vaguely coming eventually, but not much meat to chew on.

    So, come on Lucasfilm. Dripfeed us something.

    I think Solo sets up the events of this film and I think it will deal with the rivalry between the Hutt Syndicate and Crimson Dawn in between Solo and ANH.

    I think both Maul and Qui'ra will probably be in it. They didn't just bring Maul back in the films to have him stand around, I think they'll make use of him.

    Alden's Han and Chewie will probably have a cameo appearance in the film since it's suggested he's goes to Tatooine to work for Jabba at the end of Solo and Alden is contracted for 3 films.

    This is probably the best route to go. I was hoping a post RotJ Boba, but for this round of anthologies, let's stick to this era.

    Boba vs. Maul could be interesting. 4 movies in and still not Hutts. Curious to see how they will handle Jabba. Best to rebuild the RotJ puppet if they still can't get the CGI right for him.

    The great thing about this is that Boba Fett is essentially a blank slate. Whoever takes the lead role, it has to be someone with real charisma and hopefully a Maori with a proper Kiwi accent, and not the miserable attempt at it by whoever voiced the clones in The Clone Wars.

    I think they will definitely rebuild Jabba, Lucasfilm is big on the practical effects these days.

    They're the same ones who said a Kenobi is happening but 9 months later we still have heard zilch from LFL. Not even a "We might consider it in the distant future.". Maybe one day fans will wise up and stop believing every stupid rumor they come across on the internet but I doubt it. I'll file this with my other bull**** rumor files.

    I'd definitely put my money on this film being a quasi-sequel to Solo featuring Maul and Qi'ra

    I'd give Cop Land a recommend. He wrote and directed it.

    As much as I enjoyed a lot of Solo, I have no doubt in my mind that Mangold's Fett will be much better. Having recently watched 310 to Yuma, I can't help but think that Mangold would have also been a great choice to direct Solo. He does western and crime drama perfectly. With both intelligence and heart.

    Way to insult without having any idea what you're talking about. Hollywood Reporter is a consistently reliable professional publication. They never publish stories without corroborating with multiple legitimate sources. I have not once seen a "stupid rumor" on their site as news. So next time, before you decide to attack other people's intelligence, you might want to do some research first.

    Yes, because The Hollywood Reporter is known for getting these things wrong. s/

    Wait until both the Kenobi and Boba Fett films are confirmed and both with the directors reported...
