The hunt is on.
James Mangold is writing and will direct a Star Wars stand-alone movie centered on Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter and fan-favorite character, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
The reveal comes as Disney and Disney-owned Lucasfilm prepare for the release of the latest Star Wars stand-alone film, Solo: A Star Wars Story. Solo, which opens Friday, is the second movie to be spun from the main Star Wars line — Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the first — but it is the first to focus on a particular character.
Lucasfilm is developing movies on a slew of characters including Obi-Wan Kenobi, which has Stephen Daldry in negotiations to direct, although no writers are working on a script.
It was rumored that Simon Kinberg, the writer-producer behind the X-Men franchise and films such as The Martian, was working on a Boba Fett movie. While Lucasfilm and Disney won’t make any official confirmation, sources say that Mangold will co-write the script with Kinberg, who will also produce the Boba Fett project. Kinberg and Mangold are close, having worked on Logan, the X-Men spinoff that earned high praise last year.

I’m boycotting until we get a Dexter Jettster solo movie.
And I hope there's a good back story.
Their Nerd Crew stuff is some of the funniest videos out there.
Can’t wait for the Jar Jar movie . . .
Well, Jar Jar does have a big part in the Anakin musical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1B1iAeY2c
If they’d keep the sex out, add some adventure, and let boys have a boy-hero . . . it’s just a dream.
Me-suh say stop already.
“Will their fan base really what to see such movies? How far will they go? Will they go so far as to show Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru and how they hooked up?”
They will keep making them as long as the fans will buy them. As the fan base shrinks due to uninteresting story lines, the quality of the next movie will suffer. Look what Disney does with Pixar movies. First one is a hit, second one goes straight to DVD.
“Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru find the force” will be a computer animated straight to DVD movie.
"Tonk. Tonk, tonk.
Zip. Zrrrrrr. Zrrrrr.
Tonk, tonk, tonk...
I’m more exited to watch RedLetterMedia’s Solo review than I am about the Solo movie.
Boba Fett’s name was never mentioned in either of the first two episodes (IV or V) so I’ve never gotten his intrigue. I’ve found that the hyper-nerd types are the ones who endow such a peripheral character with so much importance. He flew under my radar and most of the people I hang with.
Look what Disney does with Pixar movies. First one is a hit, second one goes straight to DVD.
The exception was “Toy Story”
When Star Wars really took off in 1977, the original projection was for 9 movies to eventually be made, which I thought was ridiculous. I never imagined that this stupidity would metastasize like this.
*** The exception was “Toy Story” ***
Agreed. But it is the exception that proves the rule.
Who knows but when I found out there was a huge following of a bounty hunter that has a bit part in the movie, I just couldn't believe it.
They wearing the Star Wars crap out.......long have been imho. I do not bother with watching the garbage anymore.
