7 Star Wars Anthology Movies We’d Rather Have Than A Han Solo Prequel

3) Boba Fett Standalone

Another Star Wars Anthology film that’s actually done the rounds at Lucasfilm is the idea of a solo movie for Boba Fett. The flick was to be helmed by Josh Trank but it strangely sunk without a trace a few years back – we later found out that Trank was removed from the project at the last minute after his Fantastic Four reboot was a complete flop.

This is obviously a great shame, as Fett has a huge amount of potential still to be mined. We don’t mean an origin story – the prequels attempted that and it was terrible – but a solo movie for the character could redeem the original trilogy’s treatment of him. The bounty hunter is always seen as one of the most badass Star Wars characters ever, even if he infamously doesn’t do all that much in the movies. If he got to star in his own feature, though, it could finally give us the version of the character that the fans have always wanted to see. You know, not the one who gets eaten by a burping hole in the ground.

A Boba Fett solo could go one of two ways. Keep him as a villain and cast him as an anti-hero – a morally unscrupulous figure who takes on an exciting dangerous mission – or put him into a position where he has to play the good guy, which would allow him to really grow as a character.

Though Fett would be the centrepiece of the movie, we imagine that it could feature the many bounty hunters that populate the galaxy. Not to mention his sometime contractor Jabba the Hutt. Apparently, a Jabba solo film has also been discussed, but it would be far better to make him a supporting character in Boba’s story instead.
