Da RottenTomatoesDISNEY CONFIRMS STAR WARS SPIN OFF MOVIES, AND THE RUMORS START FLYING FASTER THAN HAN MADE THE KESSEL RUNThis was a big week for Star Wars news, and there's a lot of angles to address, but it all starts (logically, if not chronologically) with a statement by Disney CEO Bob Iger. Explaining how the plan for the next Star Wars trilogy is spread out across the next six years (with estimated release dates in 2015, 2017, and 2019), Iger addressed how Disney is going to fill the gaps between those films, namely with spin off movies involving "great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga." The first rumor (and this story actually predated Iger's announcement) involved Yoda, and included a very brief reference to a Jabba the Hutt project. Then, after Iger's announcement, two completely different characters were rumored as subjects of scripts by Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg: as reported by Entertainment Weekly, two of the spin off movies will tell flashback stories for Han Solo (how he became a smuggler, probably) and Boba Fett (not necessarily an origin, but set in the most wretched hives of bounty hunting scum and villainy). In particular, the idea of a "young Han Solo" movie can easily be seen by fans with some skepticism, as the challenge will be in finding a young actor who can take on the role of one of cinema's most classic characters. There's also the issue of whether Han Solo needs an origin story at all. As for Boba Fett... how one feels about him getting a movie probably depends upon whether you've drank the long-standing proverbial Kool-Aid that is the cult of Boba.
