By this time, it is obvious to many fans of Star Wars that Disney and Lucasfilm, which is now owned by Disney, are expanding the Star Wars Universe, just like the Marvel Universe and DC Universe are being developed ---- more films covering the various characters which also means more ticket sale through the years. These universes are bringing in billions of dollars to the studios so they might as well push more of the same formula.

For Star Wars franchise, there are spin-off stories which started by Rogue One to bridge the prequel to the original trilogy and Solo the origin story of one of the favourite characters in the franchise, Han Solo. Now, what looks like to be another origin story is about Star Wars villain that needs no further introduction, Boba Fett the bounty hunter.

The last time we heard that a Boba Fett origin story is in the works was three years ago with Josh Trank, who directed Fantastic Four, but has left the project due to his erratic behavior when Fantastic Four was being filmed. But good news to all those waiting for updates on the Boba Fett movie, Logan Director James Mangold has taken the helm for the project, both as the writer and director. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mangold will be writing the story with Simon Kinberg, as they collaborated on the success of Logan last year.

Boba Fett was introduced in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special and then became a familiar character in The Empire Strikes Back and got killed in Return of the Jedi. The last time that the space faring bounty hunter was seen in a Star Wars movie was in the Attack of the Clones, where he saw his father Jango Fett, get beheaded by Mace Windu. Boba Fett is actually a clone of Jango Fett. He was able to retrieved the helmet which he used together with his Mandalorian armour to make a reputation of himself as a skilled bounty hunter that Darth Vader himself was a client.

As for further details of the Boba Fett movie, Disney is keeping a tight ship for now. Other rumours of standalone or origin movies in the Star Wars Universe, is about the mentor of the Skywalkers, Obi Wan Kenobi.

Whislt we wait as production of the Boba Fett movie revs up, here is a fan-made trailer of a Boba Fett movie just to get your excitement up.
