Joe Johnston is on a roll at the moment. Captain America is getting fantastic buzz and so far looks like being another brilliant addition to the Marvel stable, and a great return to form for him. Of course, he’s out on the promo trail and isn’t shying away from discussing future projects. Including one unbelievably long shot – a Boba Fett movie.
Johnston told Screenrant of how he’d like to direct a movie based on the iconic bounty hunter, and that he’d love to show the plan to Lucas himself. This isn’t as far fetched as you may think – Johnston worked on the original Star Wars movies, and even had a hand in designing the Fett Man himself. Could it happen? He’s one of the most popular Wars characters ever and many stories could be told about him separate from the traditional canon. I doubt it will happen as a standalone movie, but would you bet against Johnston actually directing a Star Wars movie one day? We all know that more movies will come some time – there’s even a rumour that a portion of the revenue from Star Wars 3D will fund a new, distinct trilogy………..
