Until there is an official confirmation, however, we’re duty bound to sound the Rumor Alert Siren. But given all the chatter, it seems certain that some aspect of Fett will be explored, beyond his limited screen time in the original trilogy (you know, introduced in Empire Strikes Back seeming like a cool badass with a funky ship, then apparently killed off in Return Of The Jedi via a series of mishaps that Buster Keaton would dismiss as “too silly”) and the daddy issues that cropped up when we learned in Attack Of The Clones that he was the only unaltered clone of Jango Fett, watched his pop die and grew up to become a bounty hunter.
How much of his origin will be explored remains to be seen; and he’s divisive to say the least in fandom, with some hungering to know more and others convinced that peeling away the mystery, as in Clones, could be a bad move. As for the still-mysterious movie, it was to have been directed by Chronicle/Fantastic Four man Josh Trank, but he left the project recently. And earlier whispers had Lawrence Kasdan – one of the people who introduced Boba in Empire Strikes Back – writing the script for the film before switching over to assist J.J. Abrams with the rewrite on The Force Awakens.
And before any second Anthology film takes aim at screens. Gareth Edwards must complete his own first effort, Rogue One, which focuses on a Rebel Alliance scheme to steal the plans for the first Death Star, and features Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn and Riz Ahmed in the cast. That movie will be out on December 16, 2016.
