Update: It’s a fake. Original story: Indie Revolver, who have a good track record when it comes to Star Wars scoops, just posted this image, supposedly a slide for the San Diego Comic Con presentation: If true, this alters the game a little bit: The Miller/Lord/Kasdan/Kasdan film will involve both Han Solo and Boba Fett…
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…
Some exciting hints of what’s to come in Marvel’s Star Wars comic titles were dropped at Celebration Anaheim. Firstly, regarding the flagship Star Wars title, Boba Fett will catch up with Luke in issue #6. If you recall, in Darth Vader #1, Vader sent Fett on a mission to track down the Rebel pilot who…

We’ve got two directors (Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank), two writers (Gary Whitta and Simon Kinberg) and three rumoured codenames (Boba Fett, Solo and Red Five). However, a bigger picture is emerging. Three out of four of the upcoming…
Over at Star Wars Union there’s a report from a German Hasbro presentation for retailers outlining Lucasfilm’s plans for Star Wars into 2020: Fall 2014: Rebels 2015: Episode VII 2016: Boba Fett 2017: Episode VIII 2018: Solo 2019: Episode IX 2020: Red Five Very interesting indeed. The Boba Fett and Solo spinoffs are not particularly surprising,…
We know that Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are each writing spinoff/origin films in the Star Wars universe, possibly due for release in 2016 and 2018. Furthermore, there’s reason to believe that these films will form part of a new series that will culminate in an eventual Avengers/Seven Samurai-style team-up film. But which characters will…
