One has to assume that James Mangold has Star Wars very much on his mind right now.
Recently, it was announced that he would be directing the long-rumored spinoff movie about Boba Fett, but the state of Star Wars is very confused right now and that is in large part due to the people behind the franchise being figuratively stoned by some fans.
Mangold certainly sees the potential for the same to happen to him, as Boba Fett is, for reasons passing understanding, a really popular character, and if Mangold does something with the character fans don’t like, he’s likely to hear about it.
A vocal contingent is still seemingly angry about Rian Johnson’s take on the franchise with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and following the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, some have been calling for Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy to resign.
