Star Wars - Boba Fett Spin-off Announced

[Alpinemaps]

That article also mentions an Obi origin film.
Why can’t my little green hero get a movie?
I want to see when the swamp rat got showered with oozed and mutated into a samurai master.

Maybe I’m getting confused...

As much as I’d like to see a Yoda standalone, I’m going to guess that one will wait.

Disney seems pretty set on not doing anything further before TPM for the time being.

Said this in the Solo thread but will repeat it here.

Please rest the Skywalker films after 9. Give me more SW Story films.

I want films in this universe. I want to see other corners of the universe. I’m fine if it’s with familiar characters. But give me something different, stand-alone, overarching thread - very Marvel films like.

Yep... i'm in agreement with you on that.  The ST is terribly orchestrated, while the two offshoot films were fun thrill rides.  I''ll take a Rogue One and Solo film anyday over whatever the Last Jedi tried to be.  I don't even mind them recasting characters..

I look forward to the Obi-wan and Boba Fett films, but have no interest in the Rian Johnson trilogy or Episode 10.  I almost feel like we are on a 3 year break until the Obi-wan movie comes out.

For the timeline purists: captain Marvel will be set in the 90s. So...not best for comparison

I am curious how they square off the young Boba from Clone Wars (it is Canon ? )  with the movie.  Are they going to ignore it or build upon it?

They better include this or else I’ll be disappointed , can’t see how they can bypass it :

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Disney is killing the franchise by releasing so many movies in a short ammount of time? I kind of think it's going to take the wind out of everyone's sails and no one will care after a while.

I agree.  It's already started.  Han Solo opened to a huge amount of empty seats...

Disney and Lucasfilm's "Solo: A Star Wars Story," a prequel film about the origins of Han Solo, made an estimated $101 million domestically for its four-day weekend opening which includes the Monday holiday, according to Disney. That makes "Solo" the smallest opening for a "Star Wars" film since 2002.

While I thought it was a good film, it wasn't special by any means.  More of the same to come with STAR WARS movies every year.

I just hope 75060 retires before the Fett movie comes out....might be cutting it close.

Interesting article about the frequency of the movies killing the franchise. It´s true that F and F and Bond films are spaced further apart.

Don´t worry, there´ll be a remake of sorts out for that film.

Boba Fett comes across as a real bad a$$. Until his death. Quite possibly one of the lamest of all Star Wars related deaths.

My 12 year old son has watched all Episode (x) Star Wars movies, from Episode 1 to Episode 8, multiple times. He doesn't care much about the original trilogy and finds it looks outdated. He prefers the prequel trilogy much more over the OT because they're more spectacular, look more advanced and modern. He doesn't understand why I find Empire Strikes Back the best SW movie. 

Just to give an indication where the younger generation puts their preference... 

Actually, my 12 and 14 yr old kids say the same thing.  Prequels over the OT, but neither of them have any interest in the new trilogy after they killed off Han.  I wonder how much The Clone Wars influenced their like of the prequels though.  Both of my kids grew up on those and were bummed when they ended.  They quickly got hooked on Rebels and were bummed when those ended too.  They're not as excited about the new cartoon series.  They really want to know about Ezra, Sabine, and Ahsoka.

Can’t help but feel that scheduling had something to do with that.

Episode VII    December 18, 2015
Rogue One:    December 16, 2016
Episode VIII    December 15, 2017
Solo:        May 25, 2018
Episode IX    December 20, 2019
Boba Fett    2020

Only recent film not released for the Holiday season, only 5 months since that last one and where I am at least Infinity War is still showing.

I agree. They were mad not to release it in Xmas 2018. Give people a bit of a rest and even gaps between films.

Episode 9 will run against the next Jame Bond film.

I thought Obi-wan was in 2020, since that one is actually in preproduction while Boba Fett just was announced.

I just pulled that data from wiki, so yeah, could well be wrong for 2020.

Disney will never do it but Boba Fett should be rated R. He is a bounty hunter, an assassin. Go the Terminator route. Deadpool has proven a blockbuster can be rated R.
