With last year’s release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the franchise set in a galaxy far, far away opened itself up to spinoff tales that don’t directly link to the legacy of the Skywalker clan.
That will continue next year with the debut of Solo: A Star Wars Story, as well as the eventual Obi-Wan Kenobi spinoff movie.
One long-dormant spin-off that many fans had given up on was the Boba Fett movie, but now new reports that director Simon Kinberg has begun working on a new Star Wars film have reignited hope that the Mandalorian bounty hunter could get his own big screen story.
