The rumour mill is churning and its latest creation is that Disney is planning on making a series of standalone movie feature well known and loved STAR WARS characters. This is in addition to making Episode VII!
The first rumour was that the first standalone movie would focus on the history of Yoda, but that rumour was shut down and the latest news is that the first two movies will actually feature Han Solo and Boba Fett.
Han Solo’s story is supposed to be an origin story of the sarcastic smuggler and will take place in between the events of REVENGE OF THE SITH (Episode III) and A NEW HOPE (Episode IV). Similarly, Boba Fett’s movie will also give audiences some background into the bounty hunter’s life and will take place in between A NEW HOPE and RETURN OF THE JEDI (Episode VI).
Though these sound pretty cool, nothing has been confirmed. The fact that Disney is even working on anything other than Episode VII is also a rumour, but we hope that it turns out to be true!
If these movies were made, who would you want to play young Han Solo and Boba Fett? Sound off on Facebook and Twitter!
