IDK man he has Star Trek and the Mission Impossible series to fall back on and gave TV Lost, Fringe, Alias, Person of Interest, Revolution etc etc
If anything, they probably gave it to him cause he has the resume of resumes for this kinda shyt and he fukks up its nothing. He got clout still
Well yeah, it IS Star Wars. There will be "vwoom" involved. People like Boba Fett, Han, etc. all have big followings and wouldn't bomb (naturally, if done correctly) just because they're fleshing out big characters.
It would go well with this next bit:
Which makes sense in the safest way. I'd personally rather have a spinoff than for someone to try and add to the Episodes list from ROTJ's ending.
You make it seem like only the Force and Lightsabers were the cool thing about it and totally negating the characters which everyone fell in love with, aside from the storytelling, the special effects, the audio effects, and so on.
Naturally, what you think would be omitted would still be the meat and potatoes. You could EASILY wrap into that sort of thing because Boba Fett is a bounty hunter and what else would bad guys like dead the most in that universe at the time? Jedi. He could be hunting some high profile prodigy or something and split the story with someone new, or someone minor who's expanding in background.
Again, as stated, Episode 7 shouldn't be about Luke. They can branch off his Academy or son for the next round of Episodes but let's be real. You can't really take anymore from his story.
That's what I'm talking about with my first post. It shouldn't be about Luke or carry on his story.
Seems like you guys can't handle a spinoff film. I'm not talking about making Boba Fett into Episode 7.
That would be suicide. And it doesn't make sense since those Episodes were about Skywalkers.Just sayin', they have other ideas to pursue before they wanna tickle the idea if adding to the Skywalker main timeline. They can (and should) break off into some "The Next Generation" type of deal where it's a new line of stuff and have it their way.

Star Wars has been and always will be about the Skywalker legacy. The man who made it up said it himself. To have a entry into the MAIN storyline that doesn't have a Skywalker (or Solo) as a main protagonist would go against what the ENTIRE story is about. It would be like a Saw movie with no Jigsaw, or a Friday the 13th without Jason
No.You can have spin-offs all you want but you can't introduce Star Wars to a new generation of watchers and NOT start with a Main numbered episode...that would be like dropping Clone Wars before Episode 1 came out. You have to reestablish the universe first man.

Exactly, why dudes bringing up a Boba fett movie? That ain't going to be breaking no records cause Boba Fett isn't even a main character and don't get it twisted, I love Boba fett but if you are doing a Star Wars movie it will have to feature the Skywalker family. You ain't going to call it "Episode VII" and not have no Skywalkers in it. Also the "Side/Spin Off" Star Wars movies probably won't even be made until after this trilogy is done. If you are doing Star Wars it has to be Lightsabers and space battles. I already broke it down in the other thread:
Episode VII: New Jedi Order (And Older Jedi Master Luke Skywalker starts a New Jedi Order as a new Sith Presence cause disturbance in the force)
The movie should feature the Original Cast but only Luke in a major role. Han and Leia only Cameos and have their Kids and some other new youth be the cast. Episode VII is basically passing the torch from the old cast to the new cast.
Lens flares for all

nikkas will fight you on that, but I'm with you, breh. I wouldn't mind a spin off with a new set of characters. I've had my fill with the Skywalker storyline tbh.
Or if the movie has him make an appearance but not have it be about him. If it's about the Skywalkers I'm cool with that too I have faith in J.J. Abrams.
read the new jedi order stuff and you'll feel different
