Jetpack enthusiast Boba Fett will be the star of the second Star Wars spinoff movie

But what about poor, old Boba Fett? Would he never get a movie of his own? Would we be forced to use his appearances in Attack Of The Clones and the Clone Wars cartoon to explain how a stupid kid in a blue tunic became a cool dude with a jetpack? Luckily, no, because the second standalone Star Wars movie will be about Boba Fett. That comes from The Wrap, which says the movie will be released in 2018, but it doesn’t give away any plot details that will—fingers crossed—reveal some kind of retcon that explains how Boba Fett survived his apparent death in Return Of The Jedi.

Also, the timing of this news should certainly not be seen as a way for Disney to distract us all from the fact that Josh Trank—who would’ve directed this Boba Fett movie—quit over the weekend. It’s merely a coincidence that this exciting, fan-service-y reveal is happening a few days after reports came out that bad things were happening behind the scenes. Don’t think about that, though, think about Boba Fett! Isn’t he cool? He has a flamethrower on one of his arms!
