The Boba Fett spinoff movie has been called to a halt.
Rumors of a Star Wars standalone movie centered on Boba Fett surfaced back in May. But while neither Disney nor Lucasfilm officially announced the project, Variety confirms that the project is unofficially no longer in development.
The film centered on the galactic bounty hunter was supposed to be helmed by Logan director James Mangold. Boba Fett debuted in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and re-appeared in 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
The company is currently focusing on its Star Wars streaming TV series The Mandalorian from Jon Favreau. Favreau teased plot details on Instagram, “After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars’ universe,” read his post. “The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.”
