I usually avoid posting any news until it's confirmed by an official source, but there've been so many interesting reports circulating since yesterdays announcement of two additional Star Wars spin-off films that I couldn't help but post a couple of them here.
First up, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that one of these films will follow a young Han Solo in the period between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, while the other will be an original Boba Fett story set some time during or after the original trilogy.
ComingSoon.net is instead reporting that one of these two films will be based around the origin story of Yoda.
Now, these two stories are clearly mutually exclusive - so one must be (at least partially) false. Nevertheless, it's interesting to see people's reactions to the possibilities. Personally, I'd love to see a Han Solo / Boba Fett pairing of standalone films further fleshing out two of the coolest characters in the saga. There'd also be the potential for some crossover between the two (eras permitting). We all know that pair have one hell of a history.
