Will Gareth Edwards' STAR WARS Movie Feature Both 'Boba Fett' AND 'Han Solo'?

That's the latest rumor doing the rounds anyway. The plot of the first standalone Star Wars movie has been under wraps since it was announced that Godzilla director Gareth Edwards would take the director's chair, but we might just have some new details on what we can expect...

At various points, every character from Jabba the Hutt to Yoda to Jar Jar Binks (okay, maybe not the last guy) has been mentioned as the possible focus of one of the planned Star Wars spin-offs in the works at Lucasfilm/Disney -- but the prevailing rumor about the plot of Gareth Edwards' first standalone flick was that it would tell the tale of Boba Fett and his gang trying to retrieve plans for the first Death Star. Now, Latino Review claim to have some new information that puts Han Solo and his iconic ship, the Millennium Falcon, right there along with the enigmatic bounty hunter and his pals. This does make sense, as we've been hearing conflicting reports on which of the two classic characters this first spin-off would be about, and that might simply be because they'll both be involved. In the original trilogy it was definitely hinted Han and Fett might have had some history, so that would be an interesting route to take. Recently we found out that Rooney (and her sister Kate) Mara, Tatiana Maslany, and Felicity Jones are all in the running to play the female lead in the film -- could that be Boba's daughter Ailyn Vel? That's one theory, and you can read some more at the link below.

That would be cool to see. It'd be weird seeing someone other than Harrison Ford play Han though.

The Jar Jar Binks solo movie is what we really want.

Unpopular opinion here: I love Star Wars... but I don't think they need spin-offs.

I agree. I always pictured the EU as the 'spinoffs' of the SW franchise.

I think we can all agree; we want to see more politics and Jar Jar.

Boba Fett is my favorite character because I'm a huge Mandalorian fan, I'm also pretty fond of Han Solo but the idea of a prequel just doesn't sound good to me. Unfortunately Boba was already ruined in EP2, but Han hasn't been. Rather see them move forward than go backwards with more prequel stories.

I'd rather have a Bobba Fett spin-off take place after the death of Darth Sidious, during the 30 years between the Original and the New Trilogies.

I would accept Chris Pratt as Han Solo... He would be perfect, personality wise.

Not sure about Manu Bennet as Bobba Fett though.. He just seems way too serious to play good ol' Bobby Fett. Not sure if he could pull the Anti-hero without going full villain..

could that be Boba's daughter Ailyn Vel

Wait, what? I didn't fully read the EU besides a couple stories but Boba has a kid?

@cinnamon funny you bring that up, a year ago I had started writing a bounty hunters script that was based around Jabba's rise to power/origin. Maybe I should get back around to it...

You can't stop it! Money man, a very powerful motivator. But seriously if they are making this spin offs why not an old republic one ?

Spin-offs are fine, but NO MORE "prequels"!! I'm sick to death of prequels. Especially when you already know who lives and who dies. Lame.

Honestly, I cant say no to five Star Wars movies in five years. And I would settle for a Bobba/Han/Yoda/Obi-won spin off BUT there are far too many untouched characters and stories to just keep recycling player out mythos.

Garrett Hedlund has potential to be a great Han Solo, with the right direction
