    Solo was great, and it sets up well for a sequel, but maybe it's not going to be another Solo film. James Mangold is working on a Boba Fett film according to the Hollywood Reporter. I've never been a huge fan of the idea of Fett film, but I think that the Kenobi/Fett/Solo films could all be related. I don't think Fett can carry a film by himself, but Lando/Han would help.

    If they take place around the same time this would allow Lucasfilm to answer questions raised in other films. Qi'Ra/Solo/Lando/ could appear in a Fett film. Characters introduced in a Kenobi film could also appear.

    This a similar concept the last Captain America film which was more of a Iron-Man film

    Could the this be where Solo shows up next?

    Please keep the pessimism and "Disney is canceling Star Wars" stuff out of this thread. This is to discuss if Fett will serve as a sequel to Solo.

    I loved the Solo film and the appearance of a certain Sith defiantly made me excited for them to carry on the story of Crimson Dawn, how I would like the to do that to be honest i'm not sure.

    I'm with you i don't think Boba Fett could carry a film by himself, but him been part of ensemble cast in a story about working under the Crimson Dawn led by Maul could be a lot of fun.

    Qi'Ra makes perfect sense to be in such a film and you could easily use Lando, but I have no problem with Han showing up either or Obi Wan you have to be careful of how you use them. Han when we meet him in A New Hope doesn't believe in the force so it seems very unlikely he ever came in contact with Maul. And when Maul and Kenobi have thier final show down on tattooine you get the impression they havn't met since the clone war days.

    But their is a lot you can do with a series of films, what happens to Qi'Ra, how Maul ended up on Malachor, you could even bring in Vader or the Emperor to take down Maul.

    I am worried how they use Boba Fett though, having him in a story would be fun but as the lead, where he takes of his mask, not sure, we got enough of his back story in attack of the clones and clone wars... i'd quite like them to leave it at that.

    I would rather like to see a Boba Fett movie set after ROTJ (mainly because of the director), but I also like the idea of Han and Boba teaming up for a mission. In the end they betray each other.

    Wasn't Josh Trank working on a Boba Fett movie which should have featured a group of bounty hunters? Maybe they will reuse this idea and bring some Han and Lando into the mix.

    before seeing Solo i would of agreed with you, but seeing the world they created in this period, I want more of it!

    I don't know the details of the story, but Trank was defiantly working on one, it got so far as they had even made an announcement trailer for it.


    if they do a Fett movie i defiantly want it to be more of a bounty hunter film rather then just a Fett movie.

    Beginning to come around to a movie with heavy Boba Fett. It it is more of a gangster war film. Crimson Dawn against Hutt Cartel. So Darth Mail Crimson Dawn against the Hutts. Boba Fett would be prominent as would Darth Maul. Maybe this tells us how Darth Maul gets to where he is when we come across him in Rebels.

    This is where I'm at with Fett. With all the underworld building in Solo, he'd fit right into the story.

    i think you're on to something with this. i saw Solo yesterday and i found it to be surprisingly fun. i left the theater thinking to myself, "i want to see what comes next!" i wasn't expecting that at all.

    i've been talking with friends about the future of Star Wars and one concept i can't ignore is a shared universe type setting, like MCU. when KK supposedly confirmed a Lando movie i thought, "that's it, Lando is going to have his own movie that Han cameos in, much like Lando's cameo in Solo. Fett movie will follow in the same foot steps and have cameos from the both of them, etc."

    i like the idea of pushing the story forwards with other characters taking center stage while Han's story is more peripheral. i think that the Fett movie would make a fine Solo sequel: with Fett likely already working for Jabba they can have a scene where Han enters and we can pick up that story again. Fett could also get into trouble with Crimson Dawn which makes that cameo tie in with his movie as well. maybe Fett ends up killing Qi'ra and that starts the feud between Han and Fett.

    Would be totally awesome when a Boba stand alone movie follows the Solo movie. Boba is maybe my favourite SW character and I can't wait to see a stand alone movie of it.

    The pitch could be Hutt puts Fett in charge of a job. The crew includes Han/Chewie. They could use the Crimson Dawn again and there would be room for Lando. These characters work better in an ensemble cast. I really love this idea now and I never would have said that two weeks ago. However, people are gonna have to go see Solo over the next 3 weeks to save it.

    If they make the Shadows of the Empire storyline (between Empire & Jedi), I'll lose my mind. That is such a fantastic storyline and would love to see all of the bounty hunters / Dash Rendar in action. SOTE only from Boba's perspective, none of the leia / Xinzor story.

    I'm totally hoping for a Boba film tying in with Solo, and I think it would absolutely work. I think Solo set up a potential overarching organisation that could seamlessly integrate a band of bounty hunters doing work.
    Maul acquired a large amount of hyperdrive fuel (somebody please tell me the proper name which eludes me at current), and a sequel could show him using Boba to acquire something else he needs for his secret mission (whatever it may be, but he doesn't strike me as somebody just in for riches and fame)


    The only thing I think would NOT work is a Boba origin story (in part due to the prequels already telling part of it) Fett at the height of his powers, however, is a film I'd love to see - ideally with a supporting cast consisting of Bossk, Dengar, IG-88 and company. (boba fett) Man, the thought is so exciting I think I need to buy myself a LEGO Slave 1 or something in anticipation :D

    Again, people, if you want any continuation of Solo, try to convince your friends/colleagues/family members (pets too, if that helps) to go and see Solo in theaters. Buy the tickets, if budget is an issue, but go!

    The movie will have to do well this weekend. Kind of funny but my parents loved it and they're not really Star Wars fans.
