New detail of the untitled stand-alone Star Wars film II, which recently lost director Josh Trank, has has been revealed. TheWrap confirms that the second "Star Wars" anthology movie, which is reportedly pushed back to 2019, will feature an origin story of Boba Fett, one of the most famous yet mysterious characters in the original movie.
Boba Fett is a Mandalorian warrior who was trained by his father-figure Jango Fett and became a hunter throughout the galaxy. He worked for the Empire and collaborated with Darth Vader to accomplish a mission from Jabba the Hutt to find Han Solo and Princess Leia. The upcoming movie about Boba Fett origin might be a follow-up to the previous story, although plot details have not been confirmed yet.
While the second spin-off hasn't got a new director, another spin-off titled "Rogue One" is already in the works, with the director of "Godzilla" Gareth Edwards directing a cast that includes Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, and Riz Ahmed. That movie will tell the story of a rogue band of resistance fighters who try to steal the original Death Star plans from the Empire. It is targeted for a U.S. release on December 16, 2016.
