Well, Disney made another announcement which is no surprise actually that they plan on making Star Wars stand alone movies for other characters and other stories. Yes, they are still doing episodes “7, 8, and 9”, but they are doing stand alone movies as well. The first stand alone movie they announced, was that Yoda is getting his own film.
I know it seems crazy that Disney is planning Star Wars stand alone films, but like I said before, with the “Star Wars” universe, you could create a whole new generation of stories. That’s what the Star Wars novels and the comics has done.
I would like to see Boba Fett get his own movie, and he probably will. It would be interesting to get some insight on the Boba Fett character and get a back story of him. How he joined the Empire and why he became Darth’s sidekick. Would be interesting. They already did stuff like that with several novels based on the Boba Fett character.
As a matter of fact, Lucasfilm already did Star Wars spin off from the past, I remember, “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor”. Of course, we got the animated Star Wars films as well.
They could do all kinds of stuff with Star Wars.

Boba Fett wasn’t Darth Vader’s sidekick.
You’re right, I just remembered that Boba was Jabba’s sidekick. Jabba sent Boba to the Empire to get the frozen Han Solo and to hold him captive.
Kev
Not to nerd out too hard, but that’s not true either. Boba Fett was a bounty hunter who only worked for himself. He wasn’t sent anywhere by Jabba, he just collected the bounty from him.
I need to re-watch these movies again, haven’t seen ’em in a long time.
Kev
Yeah. He just did it for the money. And wasn’t he the one they cloned for the stormtroopers? Or his father? Or something like that?
Look like a Boba Fett spin off might happen after all, which is no surprise. I think a Boba Fett movie will be really awesome if made right, ’cause that’s a cool character.
