News Boba Fett Movie in the Works With James Mangold

Hollywood Reporter

I liked The Wolverine and Logan movies he directed so I think he's a good choice.

 

I'm sure I'll probably wind up seeing this eventually, but this is first time where my first reaction to Star Wars movie news is that I'll wait for home video. Just never cared for Boba Fett. Not my particular flavor of Kool-Aid if you know what I mean.

As an aside, is all of the unreleased Clone Wars stuff considered canon or only certain arcs? My favorite scene with Boba Fett is one that never actually aired in a finished episode, and I would hate to see it overridden.

 

I hope it’s like Dredd and he never takes off the armour.

 

Sigh. Some characters are better with more mystique about them.

 

Meh. Really don't care about Boba Fett, but Mangold is a good director so maybe he'll make something good out of it.

I do hope they cast another Maori actor to play the role, though.

 

Not surprising. Even before Disney bought the Star War's franchise people were quietly hoping a Boba Fett movie or Yoda movie would be made.

The last piece to fall into the puzzle is an "Obi-wan Kenobi" movie

 

I know but with the actor now older, it would be better to have someone else in the suit and just use his voice.

 

That's not how you spell Obi-Wan Kenobi

 

I remember quite enjoying the "Tales from. . ." series. Adapt them with an Arrested Development-style narration and cross-cutting to highlight the connections between each story and what do you know if I think I can actually see a movie like that working.

 

My thought exactly.
I don't care for a Fett movie, he was hardly a character.
If we don't get a Kenobi movie I prefer a Old Republic movie

 

Jesus friggin' Christ LucasFilm, what are you doing?

 

Amazing stuff

 

I don’t know if this specific scene is canon, but the full incomplete episodes they released a couple years ago are canon.

 

This one falls into the category of ‘why?’ Zero interest here, I’ll wait for it to be on HBO. Pass.

Q2

 

They're about to have the first Star Wars movie flop in franchise history. I'm not sure they'd want a second one.

 

I see no indication of that.

People were saying the same thing about TLJ.

 

Thursday preview numbers were bad. Really bad. Way below industry tracking. We're talking Justice League numbers here.
It all depends on word of mouth now, but I wouln't count on another Jumanji, tbh.

Exactly the opposite. TLJ had a monstrous opening, near damn repeated TFA's numbers. Boxoffice analysts were predicting a $800 mil. domestic gross at that point.

 

I would prefer a movie called Bounty Hunters and follow all the bounty hunters that we saw in Empire.

 

It'll be interesting, assuming Fett doesn't take his helmet off, who will they cast as the voice? Temuera Morrison or Dee Bradley Baker? Morrison shouldn't be difficult to get a hold of, he still does Star Wars video games so I doubt he'd be too difficult to bring back for a movie. But in all honesty, because of Clone Wars and Rebels, I actually prefer Baker's voice as Jango Fett clones.
