Okay, this isn’t exactly a shock. Reported back in 2013, we knew a Boba Fett movie was in the works, but the question was when. Well, now we know. It’s going to be in 2018.
The Wrap reports that the “Star Wars” spinoff originally slated for Josh Trank, before he was reportedly fired from the movie, will tell Boba Fett’s origin story. Sigh. Here’s the thing, the one key element about Boba Fett in the original trilogy was his mysteriousness, but, of course, George Lucas kind of crushed that in the prequels. A spinoff filling in even more backstory will make the deadly, helmeted bounty hunter, just another character instead of something a bit more special.
Last summer, it was rumored that Lawrence Kasdan was penning the Boba Fett movie, but that is not confirmed in the report at The Wrap.
Thoughts? Who should direct? Let us know below.
commenting noobs- he already has a back story. why are you commenting if you know nothing of the star wars extended universe?
Reboot Star War prequels with Steven Speilberg. Said no one ever…
I\’m not too sure about this. It just seems to be straight-up fan fare. I won\’t judge it until its release, especially since Boba Fett\’s backstory is shrouded in a good amount of mysterious. Call me tentatively excited.

Shane Abbess! His film Infini is brutally awesome. Just the kind of grit and animosity this needs. Heavy-metal-Star Wars!
I want David Michod for everything.
Nooooo! Please no! Bane! Bane! Bane! Disney get a clue….
Joe Johnston anyone?
idea: mace windu survived his attack by the emperor and lil boba hunts him down with the help of a newly minted darth vader, killing quite a few bothans along the way.
Noo. Origin stories suck. No one cares about who the character was before they became that character
