According to a recent report, Logan director James Mangold is expected to write and direct a standalone Star Wars movie about Boba Fett. While the project has become somewhat of a running joke within the Star Wars fandom, especially after Josh Trank departed the project several years back, Mangold’s involvement seems to signify that a Boba Fett film could be hitting screens sooner than later.
It’s safe to say that Boba Fett has a pretty unique role in the Star Wars fandom, with the fan response ranging from loving him to thinking that he’s at least somewhat overrated. So as you’d expect, there have been a colorful array of responses to this latest piece of Boba Fett news. Here’s a round-up of some of our favorites.

Boba Fett is an overhyped character but James Mangold is a great director so I’m 50/50 on this news

On the one hand, if you’re GONNA make a Fett movie, Mangold is probably the best choice for it, no doubt.
On the other: Boba Fett is a suit, not a character, there are way more interesting ACTUAL characters, and it is YET ANOTHER DUDE in the director’s chair. https://t.co/aeFdo3E3xk
