Looks like Disney is going to start doing stand alone star Wars movies.
First one is about Yoda.
Possibly Boba Fett movie in the future ?

So, a neverending string of forgettable action flicks followed by a neverending string of REMAKES of said forgettable action flicks.
Wait 6-10 years and Lucas' prequels will be revered as cult films, I tell you.

KIT FISTO!!
I DEMAND A KIT FISTO MOVIE!
*Sigh*... Do we really need a movie about Bobba Fett?
Bobba Fett is the most overrated character in that trilogy. What does he honestly do that makes him worthy of all the adoration he gets? All he does is push a frozen Han down a ramp to his ship and then later fires a few shots at Luke before getting eaten by some sand worm. I really don't get why people love him so much. It's not like he's the mysterious bounty hunter he used to be. Attack of the Clones ruined that illusion when they revealed he was clone of Jango. He doesn't need his own movie.  And i think one about Jabba, while potentially interesting, would just be a bogged down mess of a movie. We have to spend 20 minutes watching Jabba haul his fat arse from one room to another for a can of spacecoke then spend another 30 minutes as he turns around and hauls himself back again?

Bobba Fett is a pretty interesting character, but part of that may very well be that he doesn't have a lot of screen time. Two things that define him and tell us a lot about him in the original movies are:
1) When Vader first hires all the bounty hunters, Bobba Fett just stands there. Just casually holding his weapon, chilling, very laid back. He's the Fonz of bounty hunters.
2) He stands up to Vader. He captures Han Solo not because of Vader. He captured Han Solo for his own purposes and he will be dammed if Vader ruins his bounty. Everybody is scared of Vader, but Bobba Fett just stands there and basically tells him not to feth up his bounty.
He's cool man.

Going by the movies alone, Bobba is a kinda odd character. He has all of a couple lines in the movies.
The reason he's so popular is because of the merchandizing Lucas did around the movies to flesh out the story. Bobba's backstory and fluff was the more popular of the minor characters(which is why they had his "dad" be the basis of all the Clone Troopers and him as being sort of the original clone) that were written about.
His fluff is quite interesting and characterful if done correctly. While it might not be the grand scale of the originals, it would be a decent stand alone film. In the Expanded Universe section it would be fleshing out the main storyline.
His type of character is probably one of the better ones to have a focus on because there is potential for massive depth. He also has the least strings attached to his storyline as to where he can go and what he can do. They can send him off to planet Xormph where he is attempting to assassinate some political figure with a prince on his head. and along the way he ends up banging the target's daughter, drinking his best wine, solving a local mystery, and ending by blowing up an orbital space station.

Bobba Fett got his reputation because he was released as a cool toy before Empire Strikes Back was released (after originally being in the only good part of the Star Wars Christmas Special).
It didn't seem to matter that his cool rocket launcher toy was turned into a jet pack in the third movie. It mattered even less that he was kind of pathetic in RotJ.
Being the genetic clone of the wife basher from Once Were Warriors should surely have been the death knell, though.

Of course, if you are a real SW buff you will know he managed to escape the Sarrlock pit. The scene of him crawling out of the pit was cut from the original and never made it onto the theactrical version.

How many years did it take him again, and how many limbs were ruined? Moral of that story was: don't eat a guy who isn't afraid to use a thermal detonator inside your guts.
And seriously, did we just have 6 people in a row call BOBA Fett "Bobba"? Leave this thread. Now. The grown ups are pissed.

I thought it only took him a few days to get out? If I remember right, Dengar went to the crash site of Jabba's sail barge shortly after he heard the news and found Fett near the pit.
And yeah, everyone referring to him as "Bobba" should have their nerd card suspended!

Now you see i didn't know that. I'm not a massive SW buff when all said and done. I've seen the movies a few times and i've got a few of the LEGO sets but thats about it.

Because it's about 20 years since I last saw the kid who had the sweet BOBA Fett miniature, and so all there is now is a cool minor appearance in Empire Strikes Back, a goofy appearance in Return of the Jedi, and a contrived, uninteresting presence in Attack of the Clones.
And so any part of me that was interested enough in BOBA Fett to remember how his name was spelled died years ago.

Boba fett is not that great. When he is fighting Luke, he doesent use Wang of the 50 weapons he has. Instead he uses the equivalent gun to a gaurd laz gun. A movie about what happened between when he was a kid, and when he grew up would be ok, but not as good as kit fisto or any other jedi/sith.
I am sorry.
