Say what you will about Boba Fett, Disney is going to exploit the shit out of him and will make tons of money.
[SPOILER] Rogue One Character leaked by Lego?

LUCASFILM
These are Lucasfilm projects. They started pre-sale.
People still trying to subtly push the idea that Disney is steering/exploiting Lucasfilm creatively, even though they've never done this for Pixar, or Marvel.
They'll already have all the fanservice they want when they reveal Vader in Rogue One anyway.
It's expected people would assume this though. Disney is really only their for the merchandising. LUCASFILM for the most part are in total control.

Both of those characters exist in that film though.
However, this may be a more apt example, seeing as the Dilophosaurus was never part of Jurassic World:
That said, this set was never used as teaser image for Legos involvement and it was always the Tyrannosaurus or Indominus.

Lol that wouldn't be taken to mean a character's actually dead by even the thinnest fantasy storytelling standards. That is Frodo's mithril armor levels of proof. Boba's really a comic book character and as such will never stay dead.
Increasingly in these Star Wars threads, I can feel I am finally among my people.
Bobby...
It be cool if he fought a sith or Jedi and actually won

I guess Boba Fett could work in this film, but please don't try and establish some history between him and Han Solo in future spinoffs. Nothing seems to indicate the two are rivals in the OT.
This is the one statement that is entirely true.

Is Rogue One the movie he wrote?

This should be at the top of all Star Wars threads.
I wouldn't be surprised at a Boba cameo. If they're still going ahead with the Fett film it seems even more likely.
He did the first draft.

No.
Yeah.
Rogue One apparently began life as a John Knoll concept. Which then got a treatment of sorts, and then was assigned to Whitta. Whitta turned in a draft and was replaced by Chris Weitz. He completed a couple other drafts, and then Chris McQuarrie did a rewrite/polish.

Hopefully he actually does something in Rogue One.
Their only connection would be Jabba in which Han clearly has issues with him stemming before a ANH.
this movie is gonna be marketable as fuck
Darth Vader + Boba Fett + Donnie Yen = ¥
This could be Star Wars' big breakthrough overseas.

Fuck Boba Fett, it bothers me so much that he doesn't do anything but because his armor was cool he gets infinite fans and tons of dumb fanservice. I hope so badly that we never get a Boba Fett movie.

Shadow troopers too. They'll be all over the marketing.

Solo & Fett flick each other a fair amount of shit in the Radio Dramas.
Fett is a cipher in the films. His EU (Legends) shit is mostly that: Shit.
This is, however, a pretty decent launchpad to make the character actually interesting as a character. Kasdan writing him could make him something. McQuarrie writing him could make him something.
He's been pretty decoration for over 30 years now. That doesn't mean he can't be more than that if someone actually takes the time to do something with him. Lucasfilm apparently wants to give that a shot.

Knowing Boba Fett, it'll go one of either two ways...
Either the character will immediately be showcased as an unstoppable, ruthless, nigh-flawless killing machine who constantly pulls off impossible feats such as fighting off fully trained Sith Lord with nothing more than his wits and enviable sense of style, tangling with iconic Star Wars characters before A New Hope in increasingly ludicrous and convoluted ways....
Or the character will turn up for a fifteen second appearance and speak only about two lines of dialogue before tripping over his own feet and falling out through the airlock of a spaceship, where he'll twirl helplessly through the endless vacuum of space throughout the remainder of the story.
Either way, the fans will lap it up. Because Boba Fett wears like, a totally cool costume. And he's like, mysterious and junk.

This, Ewan was an inspired casting choice, he nailed it. His contribution to TFA gives me hope. Some kind of cameo in Rogue One would be great, but highly unlikely.
Ewan's appearance this week on Jimmy Kimmel gives me hope.. His passion for the series still seems totally undimmed and he seems to have a good working relationship with the people who are making the films.

Durge was pretty cool, shame he never made it into the newer Clone Wars show.
I want 4-LOM and Zuckuss to appear in something, I loved their story in Tales of the Bounty Hunters.

Right, but even Fett's relationship with Jabba seems just professional. I just hate the idea of Han and him having some antagonistic past together to try and make Empire and Jedi seem more like it's some kind of vendetta for Fett.

Thanks, I missed this.
I can buy this, but I don't buy the rumors of Han Solo appearing in this. It takes place like a week before Episode 4, so how do you cast the "young Han Solo" actor in that role? Unless Han aged a lot in a few days, it doesn't make sense. You'd need a Ford lookalike or a digital younger Ford.
Or he could just be competently written. IF he does show up in Rogue One. He won't be in it for any substantial length of time. I think it would make sense for him to show up though. The plans get stolen and Vader employs the help of Bounty Hunter's. It would also tie right back into ESB. As I said earlier. Vader clearly knows of him and his methods.

He desintegrates all the new characters before ANH starts.

What are you talking about? He got a huge fucking win in his first appearance.

Indeed, Boba, TR-8R, Phasma, and Max all shit on him.
They don't have to. But they clearly know each other before the events of ANH. And as shown in Jedi. Fett clearly hangs out at Jabba's Palace. For what reason? I have no idea.
I think he did a good job in ESB. He got his mark.

"No desintegrations"
You joke but I'm willing to bet his death will get retconned in the new movies. It wouldn't even be all that hard to do. Dude is wearing armor inside a beast that takes 1000 years (lol) to digest something fleshy and man sized. It's victims likely starved to death before they died from whatever weakassed acid it's serving up.
Just say he spent his time inside scavenging shit off other poor bastards/droids that have fallen inside to repair his jetpack or MacGyver up a McGuffin that would assist in escaping the thing. There....you have your fan favorite character for use in more movies again.
You know they're going to do it.

There are ways to do it right, but much like a young Han Solo movie, they've got to tread carefully. So many easy roads to take that just cheapen the characters. Having Kasdan on for the Solo movie is a good first step, but I'm still nervous we're going to get way too many needless tie ins.
That wasn't really his win thought and if it was, he needed a lot of help to do it.

If Lucasfilm goes forward with the Fett movie (they might have shitcanned it by now, who knows) I'm willing to bet it's post ROTJ.
Starting the movie with his hand shooting up into frame, grabbing at the sand on the lip of the Sarlacc pit is too good an image to pass up.
Plus you'd probably wanna set it post ROTJ to explain in-universe why Temuera Morrison looks older now.

im sure they will delete his audio lines right
By "huge fucking win"...are you referring to a dude who just followed Han Solo to some location for an hour before calling in the authorities to take care of the dirty work?
What an iconic and memorable bad-ass.

Nah. Creating new characters is easy.
Convincing a fanbase not to transmogrify said new characters into pre-existing characters for the sake of stroking their continuity boners?
That's hard.
