During today's Meet The Movie Press, Heroic Hollywood's El Mayimbe dropped an intriguing rumor about the character Felicity Jones will play in Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One. He's heard that she will actually star as Boba Fett's daughter, but he doesn't elaborate any further. We know the plot of Godzilla director Gareth Edwards' movie revolves around a team of Rebels attempting to steal the plans for the first Death Star, and it was always assumed that Jones would play the leader of that group - but, we have also heard that various other characters and factions will play a role (including Darth Vader and several hired bounty hunters) and that could be where Fett's pride and joy comes in.

Perhaps she'll team up with the Rebels at some point after first being set on their trail? Who knows... and really, the time-frame doesn't add up here anyway so this may well turn out to be bogus.

Rogue One is set before A New Hope, which is set 20-odd years after Revenge Of the Sith. We know Boba Fett was only a kid around this time, so unless he was a VERY early bloomer, it doesn't seem plausible that he'd have a child in at least her early twenties (given Jones' actual age) during the events of Rouge One. Still, Boba was a clone so perhaps that will factor in somehow. Is it also possible that Mayimbe info was a bit off, and she's actually playing Star Wars Rebels character Sabine, who does wear Mandolorian armor very similar to Fett's?. That's just my own speculation of course, but be sure to let us know what you think in the usual place.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the clones were sterile. So having kids couldn't happen. I guess they could say because this one wasn't flashed cloned and grew up like a normal kid it would be possible after all.

This movie takes place before Episode 4. Felicity Jones' character would at least have to be 20. Meaning Bobba would have to have gotten someone pregnant when he was 8-10 years old.

Well, it's not entire true. It's up for debate. Like the episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars when in one episode "The Deserter" there was a clone that went AWOL and had a family.

That's like every single scoop he's ever had.

Honestly, I have no idea. Not like he ever did anything, but then again I only saw the films and the TV series, so I'm not sure if he did anything in the EU or what that gave him such a huge fanbase.

This is the funniest time El Mayimbe has ever gone off the mark. He actually thinks 13 year old Boba Fett could have a 20 year old daughter.

Ah this brings back memories of El Mayimbe's tantrum after the whole Fake BvS script fiasco.

First thing I thought of when I read the headline. So unless Disney is playing fast and loose with the theatrical canon, this is another DOA "rumour" from Elmayimbe. lol remember when he said Apocalypse will be the last x-men movie and then it would be rebooted hahaha

What the fuc...k?? She is obviously older than Luke and when Luke was born, Boba Fett was a kid...



I have a very bad feeling about this, in a Star Wars way.

The movie already has enough connections to the original trilogy. No need to stoop to fan-service and nostalgia-wanking levels in order to sell tickets. Just let her be a badass character in her own right - stop trying to make everything so connected when you have an ENTIRE galaxy to play with. Literally. It makes the whole thing feel smaller, not larger.

Cool. I was just wondering how they could screw up Boba Fett even more.

OT and not so cool: R.I.P Rowdy Roddy Piper. Guess we are all out of bubblegum now. :(
