The fans have been waiting for this one. A Star Wars story film with a character people have been clamoring for from a director hot in the industry right now. Rumors of a Lando movie or an Obi-Wan movie can move to the back burner for now. Today, there is a report of a new writer and director, as well as confirmation that a Boba Fett film is being made.

Marvel fanboy favorite James Mangold (Logan, The Wolverine) is set to not only direct but write the new Star Wars movie. The fan favorite bounty hunter will grace our screens soon. James Mangold brought a prestige value to superhero films with Logan. It will be interesting to see what tone he brings to the Star Wars universe.
