Yeah, not happening anytime soon but maybe someday, like you say. I mean, they're gonna have to shit these movies out once a year...

Sadly that's how they tend to do things, yes. But I just want Boba being a badass bounty hunter, with his damn helmet on!

If Boba Fett is really happening in 2020, don't they have to cast him pretty soon? I imagine he'll show up in Solo's Solo Movie, unless it's a cameo and he's just in the costume and helmet for that.

Unless they do an origins OT spin-off film for a character they introduced for the first time in an OT spin-off film!

A spinoff of a spinoff?

The more I think about it, I think I'd prefer for them to make him the villain (or a prominently featured villain) of the Han Solo movie, and do something else with the third spin-off. That way we get more Boba (in a context where he makes sense) and they also don't have to worry about how to make a movie where he's the protagonist work.

Yeah that's a good idea. Is there only gonna be one Han Solo movie or are there supposed to be a bunch? Cuz if Boba Fett keeps popping up in all of those, then what's the point of giving him his own movie?

sounds like fake news

I for one would love Republic commandos, a Shadow of the Empire or the birth of the Jedi and expand on the temples and Order.

Have him wear it for most of his screen time, show him helmet-less in one or two scenes (if even that) and voila. You can keep him the same old established character and preserve/restore some of his mystique at the same time.

Costuming is a very large part as to why Star Wars is so successful. Boba Fett is so cool because he has a very interesting occupation and he also has a lot of mystery about him.

Starkiller Base being the absolute worst followed up by Death Star Part Deux in Return Of The Jedi. At least the Death Star in Rogue One and A New Hope is the original genuine article.

You are the Rogue One version of dalekbuster, only with more insults.

I would love to see a Yoda movie for the fun of it. You don't have to make it completely about Yoda just certain aspects of his life like his adversity to become a Jedi Master. We got to see Yoda's fall from grace when he chose to exile himself in Revenge Of The Sith & then training Luke in The Empire Strikes Back was like his redemption story in the end but still I would love to see more of this little green booger kicking butt in his prime.
