James Mangold is writing and will direct a Star Wars standalone movie centered on Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter and fan favorite character, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
The reveal comes as Disney and Disney-owned Lucasfilm prepare the release of the latest Star Wars standalone movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story. Solo, which opens Friday, is the second movie to be spun from the main Star Wars line — Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the first — but it is the first to focus on a particular character.
Lucasfilm is developing movies on a slew of characters including Obi-Wan Kenobi, which has Stephen Daldry in negotiations to direct although no writers working on a script.

Awesome! Hopefully they don’t f it up, like the Last Jedi

A good character and and good director, i hope he doesn’t get fired.

as cool as a bounty hunter movie could be, im getting tired of them staying in the original trilogy era. I would rather see new characters and new time periods. Disney seems to think the OT is all Star Wars is. X Wings, rebels, storm troopers, tie fighters, Empire, etc

Or go way back…Darth Bane.

i recently bought the Bane trilogy. Really looking forward to reading it. Wish they would do something from the old republic eras. That stuff is so good

doubt that will ever happen. I dont think Disney wants to acknowledge the prequels at all…despite how awesome Maul is
