Teaser for Upcoming Boba Fett Fan Film
For all you Boba Fett fans out there, we thought you’d enjoy seeing a teaser for an upcoming fan film about everyone’s favorite bounty hunter. Read on to have a look…
From filmmaker Eric Demeusy comes this tantalizing glimpse of a Star Wars fan film that he is in the process of making. It is a Boba Fett story, to be presented as a film entitled Star Wars: The New Republic Anthology.
“After being trapped for 30 years in the Great Pit of Carkoon, infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett makes a death defying escape and finds himself fighting alongside the Rebellion to establish a New Republic.”
Demeusy, a professional filmmaker who has worked on everything from his own short films to effects sequences in Tron: Legacy, Pacific Rim and the title sequence to HBO’s Game of Thrones, has also been making Star Wars fan films since he was in high school. He shared some of the background behind his Boba Fett project with us:
When the news came out that Lucasfilm and Disney were going to be doing Anthology films I was hoping they would do one about Boba Fett. I read confirmation that one of the Anthology films was in fact a Boba Fett film, but that it was a origin film. I realized quickly that a lot of fans and people I talked to didn’t want a prequel. One of the reasons Boba is such an interesting character is because of the mystery that surrounds him. They wanted to see Boba Fett as he was in the original trilogy, in his prime. Kicking butt, firing his gun, and using his jet pack! Something you didnt get to see much of, but wanted to.
When we sat down to think of what would be the best version of a Boba Fett movie, we realized it was the story that needed to be told… Boba Fett survives the Sarlaac pit. He should be featured in a movie that isn’t just a “Boba Fett movie”, but was set against something much bigger in the Star Wars universe, the rise of the New Republic. An event that Boba had a big role in, one in which he is the main character. Within that we would see Boba’s story continue, we would see him in action, Boba doing what he does best, and we would see an interesting change in his character. One of Boba’s biggest flaws is his lack of integrity, and in this story he starts to realize that. So I decided to go out and make this teaser in hopes that one day people would see and hear this story of Boba Fett’s most vital mission, a pivotal point in his life and the galaxy.
Personally, I’m very much looking forward to seeing the final product. Demeusy seems to have a very good idea of the story that he wants to tell, and from what I can see in the teaser he’s got the visuals down pat. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about Star Wars: The New Republic Anthology.
Somebody needs to put the fans in charge of the Star Wars franchise because they obviously understand what people want better than Disney.
They have put the fans in charge. Who do you think is making Episode 7?
what a retarded post. You made me dumber for reading it. Thanks a lot
Cool but how does he get out
Because fan fic generally sucks.
so ‘people’ means everybody? I may be a minority, but I couldn’t care less about Boba Fett. The character was really nothing but a dude in a bitchin’ outfit. He looks cool, but where is that really going?
Good, can we use this as the long-talked about “Boba Fett” film and leave Disney to make original stories?
What? Because this one minute blurb shows that fans can pull off a feature-length movie? Ridiculous.
This fan video didn’t show anything except a guy in a Boba Fett costume walking for 10 seconds.
…In very ordinary looking boots made in an Indian sweatshop no less.
Um, Han Solo was responsible for knocking him into the pit. Why on earth would he want to all of the sudden work side by side with Solo and the Rebellion? Think you should rethink this.

Begging for a little piece of boba
OMG! Well, maybe that is one reason why he want’s to work along side Solo. You got me there.
He walked right by the Slave I and didn’t notice? But seriously, this looks awesome.
It was buried in the sand….
Uau! Me encanta y es la mejor fan que disney no?.
I think a Boba Fett film is a mistake. He is not a central character or a hero. He is a mysterious villain.
It is a fan made film, there is little to worry about.
But still, this teaser is pretty silly. He has been in the Sarlacc for 30 years? How come after thirty years in a Sarlacc he hasn’t taken his armor off? How come he isn’t like 70 years old(he could be, but it seems unlikely)? It all just seems like an 8 year old made it up. The effects are pretty cool though, definitely not what you would expect from a fan made film.
The description that Boba was in Sarlaac’s belly was described by the author of the post, not the director. Boba climbes out not too long after Jabas barge is destroyed.
Actually, if you check out the description of the YouTube video it says 30 years.
Yes, that description was written by the Author, Not the director.
The director’s quote was below that description.
Looks like the Author was just assuming due to TFA – timeline.
Looks cool as fudge but he went out like a chump like his father,all show,no go.
STFU!
The amount of stupidity it takes to post a comment like this is flabbergasting. I can only hope you are a troll.
look in the mirror, moron.
Excuse me? How am I a moron?
Cool! i like it. so how does he get out
Are you really so interested in seeing just recycled characters and better those who the movie uncovers the mistery behind them?
Awesome trailer! Terrible plot though… 30 YEARS? No way he would have survived that.
Pretty sure he wasn’t in there for that long
So he was in there for 30 years? Did he have a refrigerator stocked with food and water? Is there actually like a house with utilities and stuff in the belly of the Sarlaac? Hmm…. seems kinda dumb to me.
This! How can anyone overlook this? He could only feed on the raw meat the Sarlaac intakes. There’d be no water, and little to no oxygen. Unless the story involves him getting out within a week, it’s just plain silly.
“After being swallowed by the tongue, the victim made its way into the sarlacc’s stomach to be digested, purportedly being kept alive and slowly digested for a millennium.”

No, the quote that he was in the pit for 30 years (not necessarily the belly though) comes from the director and is in the description provided by the director on his Vimeo page where he posted the trailer:
https://vimeo.com/137925493
He ate the Gamoreans who fell in there 😉 Bacon for breakfast lunch & dinner!
No one stole his ship after 30 years? And more importantly, it hasn’t broken down over all that period without maintenance? Likewise, no slime and extreme corrosion on his armor? (Heck the cloth would be completely eaten away at the least).
Strong on effects, weak on writing.
lol Why would he have been in there for 30 years? Thats just dumb. The only way to make this work would be an immediate escape. Right after Han/Luke leave, boba should blast his way out of the pit.
30 years? That’s just dumb
Agreed. He wouldn’t have the strength to escape otherwise.
Well I think in the EU the Scarlac keeps its victims alive inside its body. How could it digest victims over thousands of yours if they would turn into skeletons in 50.

I guess if you’re being slowly digested over a period of a thousand years, 30 years wouldn’t make much difference. But I agree…kind of weird…still…it’s got a lotta spirit.
Funny leather shoes for Boba Fett lol. Plus Boba Fett pressing buttons that are not there on his arm lol. Anything seems to look good with the great design of character outfits that were designed buy the originals. U could film this in Blackpool and it would still look half decent lol Good CGI effect though for sure.
Amazaballs!
Looks good for a 30 year old regurgitated piece of Mandalorian…If I must say

The effects really look great.
looks very good and professional
Damn! That’s dope! More please!
Yo Demeusy if you want help fixing this story I can lend a hand. A) 30 years is stupid B) Fighting alongside his enemies is stupid C) It does look good otherwise
What? No G.Walton Lucas “special edition” with 46,000 Jawas, 17 Dewbacks and 9 Banthas followed by a horde of Tusken Raiders in the background, under a Star Destroyer filled sky?
EDIT:
Tatooine, Fett, the Pit and Slave I….
look absolutely amazing. Details about the fan film? They can suck on a thermal exhaust port. Han Solo would volunteer to blind himself by burning-out his own eyes w/ coals from Vader’s funeral pyre before working with THAT clone. And 30 years? 30 days, maybe… but hey, at least it looks pretty like the PT.
Sorry, I’m not interested in some random guy’s fan fiction. Come back to me when the idea is better refined and have credible credentials and background (in other words, actually be hired and working for LFL) and then my interest will possibly be persuaded.
So sorry this article and teaser weren’t up to your standards!
So sorry! <x'C
Exactly what I was thinking. Don’t give a crap what the so called fans think Boba Fett got up to. I’m verging on not caring about Episode VII since I’m not sure how much Lucas was actually involved. I’m hoping he was more involved than they are indicating to stop all the ungrateful whining from, again, so called Star Wars fans that hate the franchise’s own creator.
Star Wars fan-made content is not news, unless you want to document all the little Star Wars sketches I’ve done, as well. No? Didn’t think so.
Dumb… The slave 1 would have been at jabba’s palace, far away from the sarlac pit. Plus fett dies in the pit… As was explained in rotj he would have been eaten away by acid.
Lol, Slave I came out of nowhere! And he really looked like he was trying to walk like a badass
Well made teaser, but the Boba Fett suit and armor are poorly made fan copies.
Looks cool, but why is he non the worse for wear? Shouldn’t he at lease be covered in goo?
There is no escaping the Sarlacc. Boba is dead. Get over it.
No.
Breckin Meyer as Boba Fett’s voice or GTFO….
It’s kinda odd that everyone likes Boba Fett cos he pretty much does sweet FA all the way through the originals. He does have a cool costume but that’s about it.
Hopefully Disney can help him reach his full potential on the big screen.
I think perhaps a good idea for these anthogy films would be three sets of trilogies : the battle trilogy, involving stories of rebel ground forces fighting the empire. The Rogue squadren trilogy, speaks for itself. finally the Jedi trilogy, three different stories of Jedi through the ages. Perhaps one of them could be like the seven samurai. Other standalone movies could also be made perhaps about bounty hunters. just an idea, thoughts anyone?
How did the Slave-I come to buried right beside the great pit? Why does Fett look like he was in carbon freeze for 3 decades and not in a vat of stomach acid? What are his clothes made out of, threaded durasteel? And, what kind of batteries does his Apple watch run on, I want some for all my remotes.
Well, are you a pathetic no-life loser and a troll. Get a life because from the looks of things, you have a sad and depressing life.
So nice to know that an Anon-troll likes senseless inconsistencies within an established story. There’s dumb and then there’s your post.
Stupid is, as stupid does, right Forrest?

I don’t mean to defend this awful idea of a movie but EU explains that the Sarlacc isn’t a stationary creature as many people believe. It tunnels through the sand.
xD This looks like it’ll have so many plot holes in it but still be fun.
He didn’t fancy using the beak and tentacles then….but good effort, even for a poor concept.
Damn, that was good!
But the rocket on his jetpack was cutoff by luke’s lightsaber !?
no, it was his gun…!
Sweet vid.
Rather than a Boba anthology film I would be more interested in seeing a film with a Clone trooper,A Capt Rex movie?With real suits this time,would be sweet
TM could come back perhaps team up with Kenobi or Ahsoka?
You people do realise this was fan made right? Stop being a pack of dicks. The guys having fun with it and has done a good job.
No, they don’t realize. Most of these comments I read are from kids that grew up with the prequels and have very little interest in the OT.
That’s a bit of a generalisation, how would you know this? I don’t think there are many who became fans solely on the basis of the prequels, or do you roll out this accusation for people who disagree with your point of view?
As for the trailer, I thought it was cool for a fan made thing, aside from plot holes others have mentioned here. For fan made stuff I tend to prefer the parodies.
Effects look AWESOME. Still, hard to get as excited for fan films as I used to now that star wars is back in an official capacity.
I don’t get it. What’s the obsession with Boba Fett? He stands around and does nothing until RotJ and then he lets a blind guy with a stick kill him. He looked like a complete ass when his jet pack sent him flying into and bouncing off Jabba’s yaht and then rolling like a sack of crap into the sarlaac pit. Create a NEW CHARACTER that looks cool and actually DOES something cool. Stop rehashing 30 year old dead characters!!
I think the mystery made the character, and taking away the mystery was a huge mistake.
Yes indeed. Settle down, everyone. This is just a FAN FILM, and has nothing to do with the official movies being put out by LFL/Disney.
I agree about the 30 year thing, and actually as I read everything else that Demeusy said about his story idea (particularly the bit about Fett having some connection to the formation of the New Republic), it looks a lot more like this would happen shortly after ROTJ rather than 30 years after the fact.
Because yeah, 30 years? Without so much as a cuppa blue friggin’ milk? How’s THAT done, then? ;^)
But again folks, this is just a teaser for a fan film that doesn’t seem like it’s even close to being in production. These scenes, as far as I can tell, were just shot for the teaser. Take a deep breath or six and lower your blood pressure just a wee bit, willya? What Demeusy shot looks pretty damned good to me from a visual standpoint. And if his eventual final product isn’t necessarily written as well as we’d hope, then what have any of us lost? Y’know?
(But seriously… Eric, if you’re reading this, definitely consider rethinking that 30 years in the belly of the Sarlacc thing. That’s a whole barge-load of disbelief for you to ask the audience to suspend.)
The description that Boba was in Sarlaac’s belly was described by the author of the post, not the director. Boba climbes out not too long after Jabas barge is destroyed.
Uh… I am the author of the post, and the description of the story came from the information that the director gave us.
As for Fett escaping the Sarlacc right after the sail barge was destroyed, while that makes the most sense to me, the fact is that there currently is no official canon story that includes anything about Fett’s escape. Yes, there were a number of EU stories about it, but none of them were kept as part of the official canon once LFL/Disney dumped the EU. So Boba Fett’s ultimate fate is still wide open.
Sarlacc looks like a big butthole 😮
So does your mom.

Boba gets out right after Lando says “Come on, let’s get off this miserable dust ball.” Why does he have to be in there for 30yrs? And yes, the Sarlacc looks like your moms vagina.
Lando never said that.
Looks great!

Production value on this is AWESOME!
But no cigar on the story being that he sat in there for 30 years.
1) Add a shot with bits of exploded sail barge all over the place off to the side of the sarlacc, and
2) Assume this takes place a few hours after he was swallowed
~ and suddenly this becomes perfect. I can totally buy that his wrist gadget was able to summon Slave I to his location, but he was disoriented enough to not be able to figure out where it had set down.
Use the final shot from the teaser for when someone finds Slave I sitting out in the desert & steals it.
The next shot in the story should be Boba taking a brutal hit over the head by a Gaffi stick. And have him spend 30+ years living with the sand people instead. The story arc would cover him being hunted by the Hutt Cartel for failing to protect Jabba. And slaughtering countless scores of sand people once they figure out where Boba has been all that time. Have Boba unite the scattered sand people and drive the Hutts off Tatooine.
What a load of fanboy rubbish. That sounds awful.

alright dude we get it
Just in case you didn’t:
No, actually it wasn’t. The story description came directly from Eric Demeusy.
Nice one!
And I’m not even a Boba Fett fan.
I’ve always thought the idea of Boba escaping the Sarlacc was ridiculous. It is one EU story I detest, and I hope it never becomes canon. If we must have Fett appear after ROTJ I’d prefer someone else take the mantle and wear similar armor.
Personally I’d leave the character alone unless it’s a story set prior to his death.
Boba Fett is dead.
Move on.
Boba Fett had what, one line in ESB and died in the first act of ROTJ… he’s not very impressive. Working now for the new republic? I can think of so many better story lines. Insert sad face here.
why he died like an @sshole??? shame on you george!! he could be han and leia nemesis on endor and get the ewoks out of the picture, waiting for them with a real legion of stormtroopers….
Bwahaha you guys are too much. You rag on the PT, yet come up with these lame ass ideas.
These ARE lame ass ideas (Boba Fett surviving the Sarlacc Pit is ridiculous) … as was the PT … I can separate the two and still realize that the prequels were horrid as is the second and third act of ROTJ … But there were more likeable parts in ROTJ than the entire PT put together … George has good ideas but is horrible with dialogue, he had nothing but “yes men/women” surrounding him during the prequels and thats why they were awful … Plain and simple
Boba Fett was best at being a mysterious unknown … I wish he would have been left that way … Much like the Wampa in the original ESB … and the shark (bruce) from Jaws … The less we see/know the better
Imagin what. These guys could do with a 100 million dollar budget
i know i am in the minority here, but I really didn’t think twice when Fett died in ROTJ. I have trouble seeing why everyone is so intrigued by this character, other than his well-design suit. as i watch these films again i find him to be a cool minor character and agree with Maestrocreep when he/she says that he works best as a mystery. someone want to offer insight into why they are so hung up on Fett?
Um….if Jabba expected to throw the most powerful Jedi in the Universe into the pit and die…how would a non force using gadget man survive? Sorry, had to add that. Honestly it’s one of the best looking fan clips I have aver seen. Bravo to the maker.
I want to see this
that’s pretty good for a fan film trailer. When they come up with a better plot for the film, how about some new, original background music too. I love the prequel music, but not in this fan film. They need to come up with a new, catchy Bobba Fett theme. Main theme at end is ok. But this trailer brought on some new ideas and speculation for me. 1.Hold a Best Bobba Fett Theme Song Contest. 2. Kylo Ren is the son of Leah and Jabba the Hutt. 3. Bobba Fett wees in his armor…get it?
SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!
Fan-made movies usually suck tho!
Surviving the Sarlacc is easy. Surviving a bad plot? Less so.
Wait! I could’ve sworn that I was on a website called starwarsnewsnet.com ?? Sure I’ve gotten accustomed to the additional headlines regarding OFFICIAL comics, OFFICIAL anthologies and various other OFFICIAL I.P. related matters and material but THIS?! A fanfic (un-official) about someone climbing out of the Sarlacc Pit….30 years AFTER entering it?!! That idea ALONE should’ve invalidated the considerations for posting this piece, let alone the fact that it’s a fan-fic project. Talk about reaching for clicks smh….
Sorry for bad news, crybabies, bad Fett lives in both canon and the EU. Deal with it.
If we need a bobafett film it have to be done by quetin tarantino, in western style 🙂
Ridiculous plot…
and horrible shoes.
Those are actually a pair of Boba Fett licensed Chuck Taylors.
Seriously though, those are costume accurate.
I love it! dead on! the only Fett movie I want to see should start with him crawling out of the Sarlac pit…you could then skip ahead several years, and have him in his kick ass prime! No one wants an origin story of Boba! Has to be in his prime!!! Once again, the EU Boba is what we really need!
Assuming he was in his mid twenties when he fell into the Sarlacc pit, he would be in his mid fifties at the start of this abomination of a fan film. Well past his prime.
After being in the belly of a Sarlac, I think he would have atleast some slime on his suit.
Maybe fetts armor survived so well because he made a meat suit out of the others that got knocked into the pit lol it takes thousands of years to digest in a sarlac after all. And he simultaneously escaped the pit and hunger by slowly eating his way out over 30 years rofl.
I hope the description is wrong because this looks like it could be really cool.
