​After rumors of Logan director James Mangold helming a Boba Fett anthology film for Star Wars, any spin-off Lucasfilm projects were reportedly put on hold following low box office numbers for Solo: A Star Wars Story.





Mangold, who has yet to comment on the Boba Fett rumors, did join The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson ​commenting on "fan" backlash, mentioning Mission Impossible director Chris McQuarrie as well.

As ​Comicbook.com reports however, Daniel Keys Moran, author of "Last One Standing," a short story from the Tales of the Bounty Hunters Star Wars Legends novels, was contacted about a potential Boba Fett film.





"I’ve had a guy at Disney email me a couple times over the years regarding Lucasfilm adapting 'Last One Standing' into a Fett movie," Moran revealed to ​Star Wars Interviews. "Not asking permission, they own those works, just letting me know they were thinking about it. So that was kind. But after Solo stiffed, apparently there’s some question about the Fett movie being made."

Alden Ehrenreich could return as #HanSolo again.

Chronicling a variety of bounty hunters introduced in The Empire Strikes Back, "The Last one Standing" short story revolves around Boba Fett and Han Solo, with the story ending on a cliffhanger as they both pull their guns on one another.

"I thought The Last Jedi was brilliant, the first Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back I thought was a complete success on its own terms," Moran weighed in. "Then I thought Solo was perfectly adequate and inoffensive, and as much as I love Star Wars, that’s a little sad. So for advice? Get the creative team behind The Last Jedi on your Fett movie, rather than the team behind Solo ."
