It Sounds Like Josh Trank's Planned Boba Fett STAR WARS Spinoff Was Much Further Along Than We Realized
Josh Trank's Boba Fett-focused Star Wars anthology film was obviously a lot further into development than we'd realized, as there was even a teaser trailer that would have debuted at Celebration 2015!
You may recall that just before Star Wars Celebration 2015 was due to commence, Josh Trank was abruptly removed from the panel. We were told this was down to "illness", but we later discovered that the Chronicle director was actually taken off Lucasfilm's planned Boba Fett standalone movie because of his bonkers behavior while shooting Fox's Fantastic Four reboot.
The tale of the uber-popular bounty hunter was pushed back, and the Han Solo movie took its original 2018 release date - but according to EW, Trank's movie was further along than anyone realized and was actually supposed to be officially announced at Celebration with a teaser reel.
Apparently the Boba Fett Anthology film will still happen at some point (2020 is speculated), but how cool would it be to see that shelved footage? Maybe someday!
