    'Star Wars': Boba Fett Movie in the Works With James Mangold
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    James Mangold is writing and will direct a Star Wars stand-alone
    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 for
    the release of the latest Star Wars stand-alone film, 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 are working on a script.

    It was rumored that Simon Kinberg, the writer-producer behind the
    X-Men franchise and films such as The Martian, was working on a
    Boba Fett movie. While Lucasfilm and Disney won't make any official
    confirmation, sources say that Mangold will co-write the script
    with Kinberg, who will also produce the Boba Fett project. Kinberg
    and Mangold are close, having worked on Logan, the X-Men spinoff
    that earned high praise last year.

    Boba Fett was introduced in 1980's Empire Strikes Back and then
    appeared in 1983's Return of the Jedi as the mercenary who brings
    Han Solo to the slug-like crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Despite having
    a helmet over his face and very limited time onscreen (not to
    mention a slapstick death), the character, with his jet pack and
    battle-scarred armor, grew to cult status.

    The George Lucas prequels showed Boba Fett's origin as a subplot
    but more importantly, his escapades were featured in various books,
    comics, animated series, video games and merchandizing. Jeremy
    Bulloch inhabited the role in the initial movies.

    Details for the Boba Fett storyline are being kept deep in the
    Sarlacc Pit.

    Mangold brought prestige to the superhero genre with Logan, which he
    co-wrote and directed, and was produced by Kinberg. The X-Men
    stand-alone featuring Wolverine earned the filmmaker plaudits as
    well as an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay.

    The writer-director, who also counts the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the
    Line, the Tom Cruise action movie Knight and Day and the Western 3:10
    to Yuma among his credits, is prepping to step behind the camera this
    summer for a Ford vs. Ferrari drama for Fox. Mangold is repped by WME,
    Management 360 and Sloane Offer.

    No, no, no. The correct line is "It's all part of The Mouse's plan to
    conquer the galaxy far, far away" ... but it happened "a long time
    ago", so it's already too late. ;-)

    The mess they're making of these new movies means they'll need
    the guns to force people to watch them.

    The new so-called "Episodes" are lazy rehashes / "reboots" of
    the originals, and this 'Solo' movie looks horrible thanks to an
    effeminate Lando, a ridiculous droid that doesn't act like one,
    and the awful Woody Harrelson who always "acts" the same
    brainless character from Cheers. :-(

    I'd actually rather see the stage production of the Star Wars
    burlesque parody, in which Boba Fett and C3PO both have boobies.
    (Point for the bikini storm trooper armor, though. Given in (in)
    effective it is, might as well go for comfort and freedom of
    movement.)
