Oh my God, why did I click that!?
Hype through the roof.

Oh god, not Boba fucking Fett.
Not as many people care about Boba fucking Fett as you might think, Lucasfilm!
We don't want Boba Fett shoe-horned into every Star Wars related story ever. We didn't want Boba Fett to turn up in the prequels. We don't want a Boba Fett spin-off film. And we don't want Old Man Boba to turn up in Episode 8, played by...Keanu Reeves or somebody, blasting away rebels and wielding a space-mace.
Enough!

Doesn't seem like definitive proof.

In terms of the new canon, Boba isn't in that many things... I dunno, he already seems really underutilized because he is so glorified by fans but hasn't done much cool stuff in the new canon. I think this could be cool.

So, if that's what's up...
ALSO:
Chances of finding out what Vader references when he tells Fett "no disintegrations" just shot up around 100% percent.
ALSO:
The idea that these spinoffs might all have links back to each other, or might even be their own loose trilogy of films happening simultaneously with the mainline titles just got a little stronger, too. Especially if they do stick with the Fett spinoff like they had planned before the Trank mess

Speak for yourself, Boba Fett has barely done anything on screen in the 3 films he has appeared in. I think it's about time he got some material that is worthy of his status among fans.

A Boba Fett vs IG88 movie would be cool.

It must be true. I need this character tie in.
I simply can't live my life without knowing why Vader told him "no disintegrations."

Nothing about the tweet you just posted says "fake." Just that the image used doesn't mean
Fett's in Rogue One.
This makes a lot of sense. I can see the
timelines of Rogue One, the Han spinoff and the Fett film not being that far apart. They'd all be set prior to ANH, but there's no reason they have to be set a long time before it, allowing overlap.

Even if the set pictured isn't exactly one for Rogue One, I wouldn't be surprised this pans out.
I really hope so, that's about the one reason I want to see this happen.

Well, the spoiler tags are pointless now, I guess.

Judging by the leaked casting list, it looks like they are going for an early 20's Han Solo, which would set the film 10-15 years before ANH. Probably closer to 10 though.
genuine question... why?
The LEGO set in that picture is the UCS Slave I, which was released last year and specifically references The Empire Strikes Back with its choice of minifigures.
So that image is likely a placeholder and not actually indicative of Boba Fett appearing in Rogue One. Sorry Boba Fett fans.

I'd rather see Boba and IG88 rolling together. Have them disintegrate some rebel scum as the coolest bounty hunter team ever. Bossk and Dengar can go fuck themselves, though. Well, mostly Dengar.

yeah, 'Fake' was a poor choice of words.

Since this is right before A New Hope, maybe we will see Jabba too!
Yeah it's a picture of an already released set, however their choice of using the Slave I is still interesting since they could have used literally anything, and Boba Fett makes for an easy addition to the film when you think about it.
And if you look at the pictures used for the other categories shown, they all match with their respective theme
For example you see Cloud City in the second image, because that wave of LEGO sets has several Empire Strikes Back entries.
For Rogue One they could have just showed the Death Star or something more obvious, but they specifically picked Slave I. It's not proof of much, but still worth looking at as a possible slip up.

He's a cool guy who is so poor of a shot that he jetpacked over right next to the guy with a laser sword and died instead of staying at his ranged perch.
He's a nothing character that people like because he ran around non plastic armor during the OT.

His armor is cool. Also I read the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy as a kid.
Yea this could be something at simple as having Jango Fett as part of the Black series line with Trooper Finn, and Old Han.
But it would be cool to see Fett in this. In ESB, Vader clearly knows of Boba or has employed his services before.
Sure Boba get the shit end of the stick in the movies, but I do like his look and they can use this chance to do something really cool with him.

That's dishonest. Low.

That's not true and you know it. Boba Fett is cool as fuck. He is quiet. Calculated. Understands the odds. Doesn't flinch. Means business. Isn't as stupid as the other bounty hunters. He is the only one who realizes where Han Solo and Luke are going, and tracks the Millennium Falcon. He is the one who get to Lando before they get to Lando, and already told him to not talk shit or he's dead. He is the one who informs Vader, and gives him the element of surprise on Luke and Solo. He is also the one who is cool as fuck with Vader, like they're buddies and yet he doesn't give a fuck what Vader thinks. Here's Vader, the baddest mofo in the galaxy, and here's Fett saying 'whatever' to Vader like he could give no fuck. He is also in charge of taking back Solo to Jabba. He is present when Luke takes Solo back with him.
Yes, his death was shit. His jetpack was shit. That's not Boba's fault. That's old technology and Lucas' fault. Boba Fett would be badass as fuck if he is reintroduced in Rogue One.

I still don't think Han Solo's showing up in this. That was not much more than guesswork from the writer when he broke the Han Solo casting shortlist, and he called it as such. Basically, the guy who delivered that scoop didn't seem to know much about the project's particulars outside of the news he was reporting, so he just kinda guessed at some shit that sounded plausible-ish, and made sure to note it as such.
Once the entertainment enthusiast media (that an unfortunate number of film fans pay a lot of attention to) got their fingers all over it and rewrote (and rewrote other rewrites of) the pertinent information for their own quick "pic & a click" blog quota for the day, what was "maybe this actor will show up in Rogue One" became "Han Solo to make a cameo in Rogue One"

So much projecting here.
Seriously, he gets admonished by Vader, is maybe clever enough to figure out the trick Han does and that's about it. The rest of the time he just walks around or stands around. When he actually gets in a fight he gets taken out by a blind guy by accident, flails around in the air like an idiot and falls down screaming.
Such a bad ass indeed.

I really hope they cancel the Han Solo prequels, I mean come on, Disney can't be that stupid.

Elaborate.
Well all of that is undone now. But I do agree. A lot of our love for Boba does come from EU content. THat said in ESB he was cool because he was used minimally, only said what he needed and was cool, calm and collected. And yea a lot of it has to do with his armor as well. Nothing wrong with that.
Even in Jedi he just chilled in his spare time. I'll agree his death was shit.

Not gonna happen. The only reason Kasdan's in the building is because of that Han Solo movie, really. He signed on to that before he ever started working on Force Awakens. They've got directors, they're casting actors - it's gonna happen.
To be honest it was said it was George's idea and Disney is just deciding to go along with it.
All of this seems of bunch of flowery language to describe elements of his nonexistant character you surmised from him being a quiet nobody.
Dude is an errand boy with no tactical common sense.

If I'm not mistaken, in one of the new EU novels there's a merchant who has retrieved Boba's armor partially destroyed by acid and is trying to sell it. He dead, bro.
