Rumor: Boba Fett Spin-Off Movie Already in the Works?

star wars


After Disney bought Lucasfilm they announced that the studio will release a spin-off movie the year after each episode from the new trilogy hits the big screen. The first one is expected in 2016. The rumors were that the first 2 movies will be about Han Solo and Boba Fett respectively. Now another rumor suggest that indeed the Boba Fett movie is happening…

 

In an interview with AMC Movie Talk, director Jon Schnepp revealed that he knows for a fact that the Boba Fett spin-off movie is indeed happening:

“One of them is Boba Fett,” he said of the planned spin-off movies. “It is. I know. I know for a fact. I will never reveal my source, but it is the one written by Lawrence Kasdan.”


Actually there is nothing new in this rumor. The only strange thing is that it comes from a movie director (although he is pretty unpopular).

 It was officially announced by Dinsey’s Bob Iger that Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are working on the spin-off movies so this is also not surprising.

The rumors about a Han Solo and Boba Fett movies are around for some time now. These two characters are the most popular and logical choices. The Boba Fett spin-off movie is also one possible explanation why the game Star Wars: 1313 was cancelled. It was supposed to be about the famous bounty hunter. 

So we have to wait and see if Schnepp does know something more than we do and not only trying to gain some attention.

    It would be smart for all three of these to be worked on concurrently with a team other than handing off one at a time. Even if the films are years apart in how they are portrayed tie-in’s are cool!

      I do keep wondering if they will bring him back, as it’s possible. Although I guess the character’s age would be an issue at this point. It would be cool to see. But I’d want a really good reason for him to come back. Fanservice is awesome at first but watching the film afterwards can be verging on disappointing if it’s not actually a gripping segment of the film.

      NO, he’s dead & digested!!! Let him RIP. Don’t you want to see new scoundrels and baddies.. please leave him be – in his own spin-off movie

      since it´s the armour we love (& his cool manors) there could be a new Fett (son or daughter) carrying on the legacy as Boba did… wouldn´t we be veeeery surprised if there were a villain in Fett armour taking of the helmet only to reveal a female Fett underneath 😀

      BeefB,
      I can understand that you’d want to see new characters both good and evil weaved into the plot of the sequel trilogy, but ever since I was a kid I’ve found it hard to believe that Fett was killed off so easily in ROTJ, being the most feared hunter in the galaxy. I’m not sure if they will bring him back, but if they did, I agree with the Anon that said, “I’d want a really good reason for him to come back. Fanservice is awesome at first but watching the film afterwards can be verging on disappointing if it’s not actually a gripping segment of the film.”

    So episode 7, 8, 9, and spinoffs 1 and 2. So that’s the 5 films, and they’ve already been prepping for, and they want to release them soon. God, at this rate in about 6 or 7 years it will all be over. No more of these films to get excited about. (Unless they announce they’re making more of course..) I guess it’s just a shame that it’s all happening so fast. Of course 7 years sounds a lot, but it won’t feel like it at all. And it will probably all end before it’s even hit me that star wars films have actually come back in the first place haha. Oh well. Beside’s, I’m only really focused for ep 7,8 and 9. I’m not even bothered about the spinoff’s, unless one of them is on Yoda or something. But I suppose I’ll go see them anyway.

      Sincerely, for your sake, I hope there is a 10-11 & 12

      Dude, this is Disney. They will milk the franchise for all it’s worth until the poor thing has to be put down. I personally feel that what they should do (and have felt this since watching Ep 6) is give out licenses to directors and script-writers to create their own spin-off movies, whilst maintaining creative control over them to make sure no-one makes anything completely ridiculous and inconsistent with the canonical storyline.

      I also imagine after 10 years or so they’ll probably head down the same path as every other production company at the moment and start re-making them…. The mixed public reaction to that gives me a chill.

      of course they will milk the franchise. That’s my point. They’re rushing it and to get cash.

    actually, i think that Disney already announced in the beginning that after Ep 7-9 & the Solo and Fett spin offs there will be more movies every 1-2 years. i think they have even mentioned that there are plans for a Yoda stand alone movie, along with whatever new characters they come up with, some of them may have their own back story movies. absolutely at some point i am sure i will have enough SW, but there will probably be new movies every few years for the rest of all of our lives. after all, there will be new fans being born and growing up with SW forever. -prymal

      I remember reading they will continue with the spinoff movies & that at least 4 or 5 is planned,,, & also that they will look at the “live action tv series” that was put on the shelv a few years ago, ABC (disneyowned channel) is interested in the live action series & remember that they had over 100 episodes that is 1h each already written before the sale… SW will not go away for a very long time 🙂

    @beefb, actually he’s not dead, at least he dident die in ROTJ. Boba Fett escaped the Sarlac Pit.

      that is not true either, in the Expanded Universe he is not dead, but canonically we know nothing about his faith (presumed dead & devoured) & Mr.Lucas has said nothing about him eventually surviving & if he doesn´t have a very good reason for bringing him back, escaping the sarlaac pit , he IS presumed DEAD (bur who knows) he is M.I.A 🙂

    Jeremy Bulloch has stated an interest in returning, i would love to see this as a fan…Boba Fett returning in real time with the original actor under the helmet…but realistically i don’t see much of a chance of this happening…not because of the age as much, after all humans age far longer in the SW universe and movie fx is a heckuva thing, but because there are easier ways for the film to profit without all of the fan hubbub. my guess is they will probably bring back a mandalorian (s) & leave Fett dead and in his own earlier time lined spin offs. -prymal

    well I think it’s really bad with a Star Wars movie a year. At a point it will be really bad stories and it will be remake of old movies. Just waste of time and Money. The Star Wars universe will not be unique any more. Like Spiderman, Batman ect….
    I agree it would be cool to se the keasle run, how han solo won the falcon ect. BUT like the clone wars all star wars fans have his or her own idea of how it happened. So the movies WILL disappoint a lot of fans.
    Like I hope Boba Fett don’t made it out of the scarlac.

    Besides I hope they will actors like Tilda Swinton. She would be a very good villain.
