He is one of the very few at this point who I genuinely want to see a Star Wars movie from. Kevin Smith had an idea just before Disney bought the franchise: he wants to make a Boba Fett origin movie. Where that kid from Episode II gets killed by some anonymous mystery man who goes on to collect the armor and the Slave I ship and be the bounty hunter seen in The Empire Strikes Back.
Kevin smith is truly a nice guy unfortunately he is liberal but he is not a mean nasty liberal. the guys biggest problem is he knows that he has some talent in directing but he has no faith in his abilities and he is not ambitious. I would love to see Him given a small budget to do a star wars story. the place he excels in is the 3-4 million dollar range of movie making. He is good at staying with in a budget but he has never had anything but splinter group cult status for his movies. also warning he pays lip service to the social justice stuff to keep his wife happy who is probably the only reason he is political at all.
That’s a great idea for a Star Wars movie. Hopefully he will recover quickly.
