The BOBA FETT movie is coming from the LOGAN director!

I think I just wet myself!

reply

To fully invest in the Logan influence, I think it should be called "Old Man Fett."

Starring Gary Oldman, as Fett!

reply

Need to see where in Boba's life the story takes place.

He was a famous bounty hunter apparently by ESB and gobbled up by the sarlacc in RotJ so I'm guessing it takes place post RotS and before ANH.

reply

It'll be all post-sarlaac (he did escape in previous material), a burned-out old Fett in the Tatooine badlands, surviving by being a landspeeder driver for scum and villainy.

reply

It would be a nice way to conclude his character Spanners.

I'm not a fan of the prequels but since we see how he was brought up and lost his father a look at it from an oldened and cantankerous point of view might be just the mustard this sandwich needs.

reply

I like that idea. We've already had two movies between the PT and OT, so why not a movie set between the OT and ST?

reply

How about one detailing the creation of the First Order, called "Where There's Snoke, There's Fire"?

reply

I'd rather watch Boba Fett.

reply

No, you'd rather watch "The Adventures of Young Ben Solo"!

reply

That's worse than a Snoke movie.

reply

That actually sounds good, in fact too good to be true. Let's hope Kathleen doesn't fire him.

reply

They're just trying to drum up ticket sales, who knows if it will really happen. Fucking snake, KK.

reply

The script had been in the works for a while and the movie was already confirmed.

All that was missing was signing up a director, which is the last step before production begins.

It's happening.

reply

Until she fires him. Looking forward to another mess that I won't pay money to watch.

reply

Exactly. Why would anyone think Boba Fett would be a good film under KK's management.

reply

There's speculation Josh Trank was meant to direct it. We know he was fired for an unknown Star Wars movie, but they think it was a Fett movie.

reply

I really hope Han and Chewie feature prominently

reply

Hopefully it either ignores or just straight-up retcons his bullshit backstory from Attack of the Clones.

reply

Do you think he kept that helmet with his dad's head inside?

reply

There is really no reason to ret-con his backstory, he was just a boy in those films. It shows how he was born, why he may not be a big fan of Jedi and how he came by his ship otherwise it leaves everything open to be easily explored, it ruins nothing.

reply

If Solo underperforms to the extent that it looks like it will...I will be surprised if there are any more "spinoff" films any time soon.

OMG ONLY you could fail this Imaginably bad queen....

lol ONLY you suggest no more spin off are coming and literally within hours of making that statement Disney announces A Spin off in ..,..BOBA FETT: A STAR WARS STORY....confirmed with a deal done to have James Mangold write and direct...

lololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololol
lololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololol
lololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololololololollololololoolololol

I mean My GOD its like GOD HATES YOU and wanted to make look like a complete Idiot....how is this possible? How could out of all times, you could have picked any day to make this troll statement, and somehow you picked the very day Disney Announced BOBA FETT: A STAR WARS STORY....to say "I will be surprised if there are any more "spinoff" films any time soon."

lol to make matter worse...Disney didnt just announce 1 Spinoff...

They confirmed 3...

" The studios are simultaneously developing films based on a number of their most popular supporting characters, including Lando Calrissian and Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose film has been heavily rumored to begin production in Spring 2019. If the Kenobi spinoff does end up opening in 2020, then it seems probable that Boba Fett will debut sometime in 2022, that is, if the studios stick to their every other year schedule for the anthology films."

this is the very definition of an ALL TIME FAIL...

lol you tried to throw out an absurd statement to try and exaggerate How "Bad" the franchise is doing, Tried to suggest You'll be surprised if Disney even makes any spin offs anymore....and in the ULTIMATE cosmic coincidence ....Disney Announces 1 Spin off and confirms 2 more just hours after making this failed statement....

lol I swear to god If I did what you just did, I would not come to these boards for 2 weeks...You've had bigger Fails before queen but this may be your most embarrassing...

I can not imagine how DUMB I would feel if I said "Oh Man after Suicide Squad awful Reviews, I'll be surprised if WB announces any Harley Quinn spinoff".....and then 1 hour later WB announces Gotham City Sirens....I would feel like the Ultimate IDIOT...most of all I would question with I"M DESTINED TO FAIL....

lol queen seriously what are the chances you say "I will be surprised if there are any more "spinoff" films any time soon."

and Then that exact same day ....Disney announces Spinoffs....

you could have picked Any day in the last month to say that...you could have waited until box office results started coming in to see if SOLO is under-performing and then say it...

But you picked TODAY...the very day Disney announces 3 Spin off...

I think your CURSED...lol ....I think you are DESTINED to fail!

I mean yes your truly awful at trolling, most of the embarrassments and fails are directly on you...But this is different, This is So stunningly unbelievable I almost think theres a higher power at work here...

ALL Time.....and I mean ALL TIME FAIL...

A person could not fail this badly if they intentionally tried!

reply

They already covered as much as people really would be interested in Calrissian in the new Solo movie. He's a flat character.

reply

Ummmm...bill? You do know studios "announce" projects all the time that never come to fruition. With the crisis atmosphere surrounding Solo this could be a face-saving measure.

The well is running rapidly dry on this franchise and if Solo loses money I think only YOU would believe Disney would green light three more spinoff films.

reply

You mean James Mangold, the 'Knight and Day', and 'Girl Interrupted' director? 😉

Personally, I'm more looking forward to his Ford Vs. Ferrari movie... 😎

... Bale, Damon, fast cars and big egos... Sounds like fun...

reply

What's wrong with Girl, Interrupted?

He's obviously got skills, Walk The Line is in his filmography as well.

reply

Nothing wrong with it... One of his better movies along with the underrated and surprisingly misunderstood Knight and Day.

reply

Ford/Ferrari does seem very promising. I do love a good racing movie, all the way from Days of Thunder, to Rush, and honestly I do have to include stuff like Fury Road as honorary members of this category.

reply

As a member of the minority who wasn’t taken with Logan, this is just more bad news.
