Just a quick note to say that Jeff Sneider at The Wrap is reporting that Anthology film #2, codenamed “Tin Can” and written by Simon Kinberg, will be about Boba Fett. Presumably this was to be announced at Celebration Anaheim before Josh Trank left the project. Once again I direct your attention to the noir-ish…
As part of the reporting on Josh Trank’s departure from the “Tin Can” Anthology film was a mention by Variety that the film has been moved to a 2019 release date (from 2018). This leaves a hole in the release schedule, since Episode VIII is slated for release on May 26, 2017 and Episode IX…

This is rather surprising news. Lucasfilm have just announced Josh Trank as the director for another spinoff film. Trank previously directed Chronicle in 2012 and is currently filming the upcoming Fantastic Four movie (from a screenplay co-written by Simon Kinberg). Here’s a 2012 interview with Trank where he name-checks Star Wars quite a bit: So…
