The executives are apparently enthusiastic about the rocket man. There are some minor problems going forward with a film about a villain, however. The general problem with Boba Fett is how to use him effectively without ruining his evil essence to make him the protagonist of a Star Wars Spin-off film. The executive was overheard (paraphrased) as saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Lucasfilm wants Boba Fett to remain menacing and scary but we have to make him the hero of the film and it is a real challenge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lucasfilm is adapting the Marvel model for most of what they are doing but there isn&#8217;t a clear cut precedence for a Boba film to follow. So far, Marvel hasn&#8217;t been able to figure out how to make a villain into a hero while keeping the villain dangerous and evil outside of Loki&#8217;s antics through various Marvel films.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note that the exact source of which executive spoke, what he\/she said without paraphrasing, and who in the room reported this news is not clear in the report.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>(Helmet nod to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theforce.net\/story\/front\/Rumor_Disney_Executives_Wrestling_With_Boba_Fett_Spinoff_Film_157568.asp\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TheForce.net<\/a> for spreading this news from MakingStarWars.net.)<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>To see how this news fits into the larger picture, follow the trail at our <a href=\"\/news\/fett-fact-check\/spin-off-film\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Fett Fact Check: Spin-Off Film<\/a> one pager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: Please see our Fett Fact Check for up-to-date fact versus fiction on this subject.
