A Fett movie Dredd style would be awesome.

Extra points if Boba starts complaining how sand gets everywhere.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Disney is just doing the spin-off/solo movies with known characters at first, but may branch out to brand-new material/characters after they have an idea of how well those movies are going to be received.

A Fett prequel movie actually holds little interest for me...but one that opens with him crawling out of the Sarlacc pit would be intriguing. I'm still miffed that George pretty much ruined his backstory in the prequels. Remember after Empire Strikes Back when rumors swirled that Fett was actually the 'other' that Yoda spoke of? Sadly, the character was never as interesting to Lucas as he was to the rest of us.

It would be fun to be in the movie, but I really don't feel like helping people.

I just like the creature there...it's old-school - the kind of thing we saw in the original trilogy. If we're getting stuff like that in the new movie (and not a bunch of CGI-creatures), I'm excited.

What people like Lucas never understood about CGI is that it can be used to enhance a movie, but never over-take the movie.

You look at movie like T2, and James Cameron used CGI for the Robert Patrick T-1000 Character, and it did enhance the movie. The movie holds up well even 23 years later, because there isn't an overabundance of 1991 CGI in it. Then you look at the Prequels, and they look like one big video game with real actors as there is just too much CGI in them.

I'd like to see them go in some different stylistic directions with any spin-offs. Save the opening crawls, wipe transitions, and John Williams music for the "Episode" movies.

I'd love to see a bounty hunters movie done in a 70s throwback/grindhouse style. Directed by Rob Zombie. Just fucking go nuts with it.

The Boba Fett movie should have MC Chris's Fett's Vette over the closing credits.

Why not have Woody Allen direct and star Will Ferrell?

When the BD is released you will just be digitally replaced by an Ewok anyway.

Wonderful. Will the Star Wars spinoff also barely feature the character it's supposed to be about?

Could be interesting, but what does it mean for the Raid 3?

John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are both in Abu Dhabi and have posted photos of the desert on their Twitter accounts. Boyega's Instagram has a short video of them riding camels.

Peter Mayhew tweeted that he was about to leave on Monday, so Chewie will likely be a part of the Tatooine stuff as well.

Luke is probably living in Ben's old place. I doubt much of the action is going to take place on Tatooine.

Probably that they don't want Gareth Evans directing a Star Wars sequel since he'll want it set in Indonesia. I doubt Disney will prevent a third Raid movie from happening

I actually don't have a problem if Tatooine is in Episode 7, because it's not out of the possibility that Luke goes back to his home as he is supposedly been in isolation all these years.

I did have a problem with Lucas using Tatooine in the Prequels, because Anakin should have never been from there. If Owen & Beru were hiding Luke from the Emperor and Vader, why the hell would they stay at the same home Anakin stopped by a few years earlier???

The whole idea of Luke being in isolation for years and years doesn't sit right with me. Maybe it's the EU universe influence on me, but that just sounds lame for a hero of the rebellion...
