Now maybe he'll DO something to warrant the fanboy love, instead of just standing around, looking cool, defeated by blind guy with stick/plunging into desert vagina with teeth to his death.

I should have seen this coming a mile away.

I guess they are going to borrow from the comics, then, where Boba did survive the Sarlacc. Either that or the movie industry's biggest dream come true will come to pass, and we'll have a giant turd as the protagonist.

Joe Johnston directing (he's been petitioning they make this since he worked for Lucas) or no buys.

Bob A. Fett, Attorney at Law

guh

Boba Fett, yeah! That crappy bounty hunter who was handed his prize by Darth Vader like HHH getting the WHC from Bischoff. Who died in a comical way in ROTJ and who's pointless appearance in Episode II existed for the sole purpose of Lucas saying "hey look it's Boba Fett for no reason...look.....LOOK!"

Star Wars is creatively dead.

Has been since 1983

I imagine it will be a prequel.

You know what makes Boba Fett cool is he's a stoic non-talking bounty hunter. I think giving him a plot and story might diminish it a bit. I mean look at Jango.

As a SW fan you can forgive me for shuddering at the "P" word.

Also, please no Australian accent! I don't care about Lucas' continuity.


/OTOH, give Rebel Wilson more roles where she uses her accent.

I think all Star Wars fans reserve that right.

If they do it, I want less exposition, more action. Make it pulpy and filled with bounty hunters; keep some mystery to him and don't make him a hero. Pipedream I know.

If they team Boba with Christoph Waltz it might work out ok.

Really? The Bounty Hounter who wears a helmet, and with the helmet off has a stone-cold personality? As a standalone film? Boba Fett is better off as a mercenary for a larger character. He shouldn't be the focal point of a movie.

To be fair, Dredd was good and it starred a pretty cold guy in a helmet he never takes off, too.

Who's to say he won't have a larger character to work for?

With this out of the clutches of Darth Lucas, I'm going to withhold judgment until more information is available.

With that said, I was really hoping for something completely new set in the same universe. It is exciting getting Kasdan back though. If you aren't familiar with his name, he wrote Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the story for Shadows of the Empire.

If it must be a Boba Fett movie, since the Star Wars movies borrow heavily from Kurosawa, how about taking inspuiration from Yojimbo? (Remade already as Fistful of Dollars, Last Man Standing and heavily influencing others)

[Legion]

I'd rather have a Jabba the Hutt solo movie.

By 'larger character' I mean in terms of importance to the standalone film. Seeing as Boba Fett is hired by powerful or wealthy figures, it's almost understood that he would be working for someone else.

But Vince Vaughn's not involved in this.
