Without going into spoiler territory, I have a pretty good idea how true it is: not very. Very not very if you catch my drift.

one - that site has a reliability index rating of fucking zero due to nobody ever having heard of it before.

two - they're linking Moviepilot, a site that has broken nothing, ever, and currently boasts a front page that simultaneously suggests Martin Freeman is playing Spider-Man in Civil War, wonders where the Teletubbies have gone, gives a list of the top TEN (TEN!) Creepypastas that should be a movie, and only today corrected their previously published story entitled "Radical Feminists Chased Joss Whedon off Twitter."

New rumors about plot, characters, possible directors:

Let’s classify this as a rumor to start as things are in motion quite a bit. But over and over again, my source is hearing the same thing: Han Solo and Boba Fett will be the focus of the second Star Wars Anthology film set for release in 2018. This is not a new rumor per se’, as Latino Review has previously reported the same rumor. What my source is stating is that it looks to be happening with some interesting additions.

The source reports that the conflict between Fett and Solo that was only hinted at in the original trilogy (and seen countless times in the Expanded Universe) will finally be onscreen in a film taking place between Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope. Additionally, it’s been mentioned that characters such as Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Bossk will make appearances throughout the film.

Also, according to the source, Disney really wants to delve into the “hive of scum and villainy” that Star Wars has been known for. As Rouge One definitely seems to be playing off of the influences of War films (the Zero Dark Thirty/Saving Private Ryan of the Star Wars Universe) this Anthology film will explore the influence of Westerns and bounty hunter films. Though no director is attached following Trank’s departure, my source is saying that both Jon Faverau and Matthew Vaughn have been thought to be circling the project.

Motherfucking Bossk.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

nope

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Yawn.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Schmoes are o-fer when it comes to Star Wars news. I don't trust it at all.

 

[Traumnovelle]

Not buying it as they would have to recast Han Solo.

 

[BocoDragon]

Get George Miller.

 

[Blader]

Not buying it as they would have to recast Han Solo.

Well it's between III and IV, it would be a younger Solo anyway.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

It makes more sense to set the Fett movie post Jedi. Start with him crawling out of the pit. Killer first shot.

Recasting Solo while current Solo is on screens just seems silly/stupid, especially considering their adherence to this new canon or whatever.

Not like anyone's forgotten what young Harrison Foed looks like

 

[Traumnovelle]

He would have to be a kid.

Motherfucking Bossk.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

No joke I'd love to see a movie with any of those bounty hunters from the Empire lineup in it. IG-88? Hell yeah dude

One galaxy. Millions of star systems. Millions of planets with life. Billions of different people. And yet we still focus on Solo, Fett, Lando, Bossk, the same old people yet again.

I guess the good news is we're getting just one spinoff with Solo+Fett instead of two individual spinoffs.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Using a young Solo is a mistake. I'm all for a movie based around Fett though.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Should cast Chris Pratt as young Solo.

Is the guy from Young Indiana Jones too old now?

 

[elrechazado]

Never seen any hate for the character outside the internet, honestly.

You are perhaps aware that the internet is a specific conduit by which residents of the real world communicate - right?

He probably means GAF. Everyone hates everything on GAF.

 

[Tobor]

This would be an ideal job for Whedon. Not that he'd want to touch recasting Han Solo with a ten foot pole.

Sean Patrick Flannery? Lol, he's like 50.
