A solo Boba Fett movie has been in development since 2013, and both Josh Trank and James Mangold were supposed to direct it at different stages, but Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy recently told Critics Choice Association journalist Erick Weber that the Boba Fett movie is “100% dead”, and that the studio has instead chosen to focus on new Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian.
It seems that the commercial disappointment of Solo [which was probably partly down to the mixed reception to The Last Jedi] has stopped any more of these spin-off adventures – for now. I must admit, I’m not sure that a film centering around Boba Fett film would have worked, since he doesn’t really have much characterisation. Okay, the new movie would have no doubt given him some, but that would have totally ruined the mystique!
