Untitled Boba Fett film

A Star Wars film focusing on Boba Fett was planned to be directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg. Reports suggested that the film was to center on bounty hunter Boba Fett and was slated for a release in 2018. Trank left the project in 2015, however, following troubles on the set, poor reception of his film Fantastic Four, and Lucasfilm's reluctance to continue with him as director. The film was originally going to be the second installment of the Star Wars Anthology Series spin-off films.

Following the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Disney later announced that a third stand-alone picture was planned for 2020, but neither the Boba Fett focus nor Kinberg's continued involvement were confirmed. However, in May 2019, Disney released its theatrical schedule up through 2027, and no Star Wars film was listed until 2022. This schedule was further changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the next film being slated for 2023. Kinberg confirmed in 2023 that his project was centered around Boba Fett and was dropped from development.
