Awesome, the Battlefield Earth/Star Wars crossover I've always dreamed of is finally happening!
Apparently the filming of Rogue One has started:

There are some more details in the link at the end of the article:
Awesome.
That's cool that they're preparing to give elaborate studio tours of Pinewood for tourists as well (from the fist article).
A Han Solo origin film sounds pretty dull to me. You have this entire universe to play around with and we get to see more of a character we've already had in, at least, four movies? Yawn.
I absolutely agree - word for word - with your post.
It's entirely possible the film will be great. It's just not what I'd want out of an anthology film. I'm sure it'll do great business, though.
No more prequels.. let's see new characters. They gotta move forward, establish essentially a new franchise.
They can go in any direction. Forward or backwards. It just depends on who has got a good enough story idea that someone a Lucasfilm will want to put money into it on the Big Screen.
The smaller ideas get reworked for TV, novels, and comics. And sometimes video games.
Han Solo, Imperial hotshot officer. Rescues Wookiee slave against orders and is kicked out of the Fleet. Drifts for a bit, then hooks up with Lando or gets some other rustbucket ship until he can win the Falcon of Lando, then run roughshot across the galaxy for a few years before winding up dumping a load of cargo intended for Jabba the Hutt.

So is Han Solo and Boba Fett getting movies or are they the same film?
If they use to run together, than it be the same film. Or if Fett had a habit of picking up on Solo whenever the man get a bounty on his head (by the Empire or Hutts, or whoever), then that might work. Otherwise if be set between ANH and ESB with Fett trying to catch Solo while he was working for the Rebels (Ord Mantell).
Or to be really weird, use it to confirm Fett lives and set it after Return of the Jedi, but then you'd need to get someone that can look like Ford did back in 1985, rather than someone in their early 20s that might pass for Ford for an Young Solo story. (Young Indiana Jones lives!)

Could this be a Han Solo vs Boba Fett movie?
I was surprised by this news because all the rumors were pointing to Fett being next. I'm looking forward to it. Especially if its Han vs Fett.
I'm also surprised the two announced movies have been OT Era so far. I thought the point was to make spinoffs of the New Trilogy to reuse the sets.

Maybe they'll give us an honest version and it'll be about Han running drugs for the Hutts. Breaking Bad meets Star Wars.
