    IMHO the Schmoes Knows post is working off old information. Kasdan probably wrote a treatment and/or draft for the Fett movie that will now be completed by Whitta.

    They can't swap the Solo and Fett movies because I suspect there's a chronlogical sequence to the two films.

    And Gary Whitta just tweeted :

    "Gary Whitta@garywhitta 23h
    Hellooooo UK! :)@THR: 'Star Wars' Spinoff to Be Filmed in U.K. http://j.mp/1pFeZvs

    So this first spin-off is definitely the one he is writing. I imagine the info about Kasdan is old/no longer correct.

    I quite like Schmoes Knows. They're good guys, always on the level. However, I'm a little disappointed in them with this. This "article" just looks like a cynical attempt at gaining traffic. Nothing new is said at all.

    Drew McWeeny is adamant that Edwards is not directing the Fett film. So I'll now revise my opinion: Edwards and Whitta are making Red Five (hence Edwards' comment about joining the Rebel Alliance), Josh Trank and Lawrence Kasdan are making Boba Fett (hence why no writer was paired with Trank in the announcement) and Kinberg will write Solo.

    Now that we've settled into our new Spin-Offs home here, I've added "general discussion and character poll" to this thread's title. As you were.

    Production Weekly, which is a legit weekly subscription-only magazine that offers people in the entertainment industry with a breakdown of what films and television shows are in development, have offered a preview of the issue that's to be released next Thursday. In it they list the first two SW spin-offs, this is what they say: Untitled Star Wars Spinoff” (Boba Fett) and Untitled Star Wars Spinoff” (Han Solo). I don't subscribe to it, but I do check the site every day. This is the first time they've put this and have been so specific as to what they're about. As I said, it is a completely legit source, so I think it’s safe to say that the first two standalone films will centre on Boba Fett and Han Solo. Looks like that leaked schedule may be on the nose. Red Five, here we come (hopefully)! Here's the link to their main page. I highly recommend checking it out every so often: http://www.productionweekly.com/

    This is terrible news in my opinion. I didn't want origin stories in the first places, but Han Solo? That's going to be garbage. His life wasn't relevant before he met Luke. Sure you can tell the tale of him and Chewie, or how he got his ship, but that would be a complete waste.

    Ehhhh. Boba Fett, fine. I don't particularly see a need for it but I can get behind it if done right. But I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around a Han Solo film.

    Tbh, I never really understood all the hype for Boba. I guess it comes from the EU and the fact that he never really did **** in the movies. I mean, he's got a cool outfit and seems like a cool guy, but I never really had a need to see more of him.

    BARDAN EDIT: You need to star out the entire disallowed word.

    LFL hyped him well before any EU novels. Costumed appearances, the 1978 Holiday Special and a 1979 action figure all pre-date his appearance in ESB. He was the OT's answer to Darth Maul.

    That would be an interquel, not a spin-off. Nonetheless, I want to and expect to see it.

    So i'm guessing that the first spin off film is going to be the often times rumored film that's a seven samurai remake. An expanded version of the clone wars episode Bounty Hunters but using former Jedi as the main characters.

    you didnt put luke down. i mean now that the eu is gone, we will need some Luke adventures. but going by the list, it would be good to see some young Han Solo adventures where he rescues Chewie from slavers and such

    I want a spin-off that follows a Royal Guard. Royal Guards look badass to me.

    I've always liked the idea that they are Jedi that Palps captured and through the Force tortured until they were mentally broken drones, both lost to themselves and the Force, willing to die for him without question.
