STAR WARS Spin-Off's Are NOT Confirmed Just Yet; Disney "Kicking Around Ideas"
Despite recent reports that the likes of Boba Fett, Han Solo and Yoda will be getting their own Star Wars spin-off's, a reliable source now indicates that Disney are in fact only "kicking around ideas", casting doubt on the reliability of these rumours. Read on for details!
Despite Disney CEO Bob Iger himself confirming that the studio are working on a series of Star Wars spin-off's which will stand separate to the planned trilogy (that kicks off with J.J. Abrams' Episode VII in 2015), it sounds as if we should hold our horses wookies! According to the ever reliable Deadline, the recent reports of movies starring beloved characters such as Boba Fett and Han Solo are premature. Their sources tell them, "Nobody knows when these movies are even coming out. Right now, people are just kicking around ideas. Which is why you hear it’s Yoda one day and a young Han Solo another. It’s all in early development right now." So, it seems as if we should definitely take these rumours with a pinch of salt as these movies are clearly - and perhaps obviously - in the very, VERY early stages of being made. Stay tuned for further updates.
