‘STAR WARS’ RUMOR: BOBA FETT MOVIE is like CONFUSING DISNEY EXECS

So you know how Disney and LucasFilmFarm are supposed to be making all sorts of Star Wars spin-off flicks? And how one is like, supposed to totally obviously be a Boba Fett movie? Well the executives in the Mega-Mind-Monoculture Factory are totally scratching their heads trying to figure out how to pull the Fett movie off.

As little as we’ve heard about Star Wars Episode VII, we’ve heard even less about what’s coming next. The plan was originally for a Star Wars spin-off/origin film to hit in 2016, followed by Star Wars Episode VIII in 2017, another spin off/origin in 2018, and thenEpisode IX in 2019. And while we don’t know that’s not still the plan, everyone involved has gotten awfully quiet about it.

Which brings us to Thursday. Several Star Wars websites reported Disney that Lucasfilm executives had an ultra-secret breakfast to discuss the franchise. Whether or not this meeting actually happened is already in question, which should paint this rumor in even a dimmer light. But one site is reporting much of the conversation centered on everyone’s favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Fett is potentially one of the characters either Simon Kinberg or Lawrence Kasdan are writing a spin-off movie for but that may have run into some difficulties because of Fett’s allegiances.

The rumor, both about the breakfast and quote, come from MakingStarWars.net. Here’s what they overheard some executives saying at the meeting:

Lucasfilm wants Boba Fett to remain menacing and scary but we have to make him the hero of the film and it is a real challenge.

Whether or not this discussion was actually had on Thursday is actually kind of insignificant. Even if it wasn’t, it’s a clear cut issue Lucasfilm and Disney will have to deal with in one way or another. [/Film]
