'Star Wars': Boba Fett Movie in the Works With James Mangold
------------------------------------------------------------
James Mangold is writing and will direct a Star Wars stand-alone
movie centered on Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter and
fan-favorite character, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively
learned.

The reveal comes as Disney and Disney-owned Lucasfilm prepare for
the release of the latest Star Wars stand-alone film, Solo: A Star
Wars Story. Solo, which opens Friday, is the second movie to be
spun from the main Star Wars line - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
was the first - but it is the first to focus on a particular
character.

Lucasfilm is developing movies on a slew of characters including
Obi-Wan Kenobi, which has Stephen Daldry in negotiations to direct,
although no writers are working on a script.

It was rumored that Simon Kinberg, the writer-producer behind the
X-Men franchise and films such as The Martian, was working on a
Boba Fett movie. While Lucasfilm and Disney won't make any official
confirmation, sources say that Mangold will co-write the script
with Kinberg, who will also produce the Boba Fett project. Kinberg
and Mangold are close, having worked on Logan, the X-Men spinoff
that earned high praise last year.

Boba Fett was introduced in 1980's Empire Strikes Back and then
appeared in 1983's Return of the Jedi as the mercenary who brings
Han Solo to the slug-like crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Despite having
a helmet over his face and very limited time onscreen (not to
mention a slapstick death), the character, with his jet pack and
battle-scarred armor, grew to cult status.

The George Lucas prequels showed Boba Fett's origin as a subplot
but more importantly, his escapades were featured in various books,
comics, animated series, video games and merchandizing. Jeremy
Bulloch inhabited the role in the initial movies.

Details for the Boba Fett storyline are being kept deep in the
Sarlacc Pit.

Mangold brought prestige to the superhero genre with Logan, which he
co-wrote and directed, and was produced by Kinberg. The X-Men
stand-alone featuring Wolverine earned the filmmaker plaudits as
well as an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay.

The writer-director, who also counts the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the
Line, the Tom Cruise action movie Knight and Day and the Western 3:10
to Yuma among his credits, is prepping to step behind the camera this
summer for a Ford vs. Ferrari drama for Fox. Mangold is repped by WME,
Management 360 and Sloane Offer.

This can only mean another Ewoks movie can't be far behind.

For values of "conquer" that start and end with purchasing everything
and everyone.

No, no, no. The correct line is "It's all part of The Mouse's plan to
conquer the galaxy far, far away" ... but it happened "a long time
ago", so it's already too late. ;-)

That wouldn't be at all surprising.

The mess they're making of these new movies means they'll need the guns
to force people to watch them.

The new so-called "Episodes" are lazy rehashes / "reboots" of the
originals, and this 'Solo' movie looks horrible thanks to an effeminate
Lando, a ridiculous droid that doesn't act like one, and the awful
Woody Harrelson who always "acts" the same brainless character from
Cheers. :-(

I'd actually rather see the stage production of the Star Wars
burlesque parody, in which Boba Fett and C3PO both have boobies.
(Point for the bikini storm trooper armor, though. Given in (in)
effective it is, might as well go for comfort and freedom of
movement.)

Maybe we will get some new TROOPS episodes too !
