Logan Director James Mangold to Write and Direct a Boba Fett Movie

Thats awesome. Keep the helmet on the entire movie like Dredd, Temuera reprises if the age makes sense, Daniel Logan if Boba will still be young. Bring back a bunch of the bounty hunters, get Simon Pegg to play Dengar and bring Cad Bane in live action. If they do decide to recast (which they shouldn't) they should get Manu Bennett, he's Maori like Temuera and looks similar enough and has a great intensity.

 

I really do not get the appeal of a Boba Fett movie. He did nothing in the OT except look "cool." Worse? Lucas throws in a cheap look towards the camera in the special edition of 4, cause reasons. Yes, he captured Han I'll give you that. But 6? He just stood around and got killed by a blind Han. How in anyway does that justify a 2 hr movie of him?

 

Well The Clone Wars greatly expanded his character. Plus the reputation of the character, just something as simple as "no disintegrations" makes people wonder more about him.

 

Hopefully it's set after ROTJ. It's a much more interesting story to tell.

 

Love the director but Boba Fett really??

 

maybe it's an Obi-Wan movie in which Boba Fett appears? hahahahaha.
no? please?

 

Yes that's why we really don't need to know more about him.
The mystery of Boba Fett >>>>>> the known truth so far

 

That would be ideal. Bring in some of TCW's bounty hunters like Embo, and Cad Bane bring back some of the ESB ones like Dengar (have Simon Pegg play him), and Bossk plus any new bounty hunters James Mangold wants to make. Maybe have the movie be a free for all on the same bounty so you have like a dozen different bounty hunters all trying to find and claim the bounty before the others do and some form alliances (Boba, Bossk and Dengar) and team up against the others.

 

Same. You'd be expanding the universe a bit more, instead of trying to cram it in between Solo, Rebels, R1 and 4. That time period is already saturated.

 

I mean for all we know they could have it be set in the earliest years of the Empire and have Daniel Logan as Boba. With the exception of the Vader comic and Catalyst, most of that time period is untouched. You could also benefit from that time by having Boba encounter Stormtroopers and officers who are still clones.

 

I'd say 50% chance they totally retcon the baby Boba Temura Morrison/ Daniel Logan trainwreck from the prequels. Have it set few years before ANH and someone murders Temura Morrison and takes his armor in the first scene--hey look, the Boba Fett you loved from the original films was still cool after all!

 

Temuera voiced Boba in ESB and RotJ. Doing something like that would be such a BS cop-out. They slowly built Boba up from annoying kid to more of a badass in TCW, don't throw away character development just continue it.

 

Wow! Mangold?! Seems like a perfect choice! It just clicks.

Even though I've never been pumped for a Boba Fett film, I feel like I'm more keen on it than a lot of people. I think it can work. Well, I thought it's a better idea than a Han Solo film and I'm on board with that one (TOMORROW! Today, actually, it's past midnight! ).

 

Maybe, but a lot of people wouldn't care. The whole "George Lucas ruined Boba Fett in the prequels" vibe is so strong a lot of people even forget he was in the prequels, it's like blocked out of people's minds. No one would question the voice thing because unless they actually cast Temuera Morrison in this he won't sound exactly like him anyway. Anyway, it's a minor thing, and a good chance to redeem the treatment of the character that he got put through in Attack of the Clones. It would be awesome if they could actually cast Morrison in the role, he's a great actor, has that badass, mysterious look, and he'd be the right age if this was the film that canonized his survival of Return of the Jedi (what an opening scene that would be, if it began with the sarlacc burping him up amongst the smoldering remains of Jabbas barge).

The entire trajectory of Boba Fett in the franchise is really weird. His story function was to track down Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back, and that's it. You could argue that his story gets brushed aside and his character is lame in Attack of the Clones because Lucas never saw him as anything special since he just dies comedically at the beginning of ROTJ--but if that's the case, why make him at the literal and figurative heart of the Clone Wars and the downfall of the Republic and Jedi if his character is just a bunch of fan hype! It's so weird. It's like this seasaw of fan service and character disrespect. He was only in the prequels because fans loved him. But then his character was gimped. But he was actually so important that the fall of the Republic centers around him. But then his backstory is never followed up on and he totally disappear from the prequels. But then he gets a spinoff film that is either a direct prequel to ANH or sequel to ROTJ. Jeez.

I always had this really cool idea back when Solo and this Fett film were being developed at the same time, when Josh Trank was making it, that it would be great to have the two films set at the exact same time and tell one big overlapping story, one film is told from Solo's perspective and Boba Fett has a small role in it, and the other film is told from Fett's perspective and Solo has a small role in it, and they both get released the same year. I think that's way too out there for Disney though.

 

I don't know, I'm pretty stoked. I loved what he did with Logan. That was a darn fine film. I am sure there will be universe expanding and all that. Let's not start bashing it before it's even official.

 

Personally I'd be really pissed if they went with "Boba not actually being Boba". I'd also be pissed if they didn't cast Temuera or Daniel Logan. (the only actor I could see playing Boba who isn't one of those two is Manu Bennett who is also Maori and could easily pass as the same guy).

 

LOL!!!!

What a dumpster fire.

Whats next, a Jaba movie?

So they dont want to “kill the past”...just
not have any Skywalkers?

How is repeatedly doing films, and TV,
about the same time periods and/or
focused on any OT character that can sell
toys creative, fresh, “killing the past”, etc?

The biggest problem isnt a lack of
vision or creativity at Lucasfilm...
though that is s huge problem.

Nah, the biggest problem is star wars
freaks who will just get hyped about
literally anything they put out.

Anything.

Weather its a remake of ANH, a softer
Remake of ESB that requires you to
literally turn off your brain to be able to
sit through it, a TV show that is basically
a remake of their last kids show that itself had carbon copy characters, a completely unecessary solo film, and now a film on boba fett (lol)

You guys just go on spending your money, not even hoping for more.

As long as it has star wars on it, right?

How is any of this “killing the past”?

I give it a year, two tops before a Vader film is in the works...even though 1-6 are vader films.

They really have no new ideas. None.
