A couple of weeks ago, we told you about Joe Johnson idea to make a Boba Fett movie.
And while we have yet to hear about whether or not the flanneled one will go for it, at least one person associated with Boba Fett thinks it’s a good idea–actor Jeremy Bulloch.
Bulloch played Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy and says, “It could be cool. You never know. But I think you might want to just leave it as it is. If they did do a film, it would be nice to be asked to sit in the corner of the Sarlacc pit as a wise old bounty hunter. Occasionally speaking a line here or there, and being a lot like Clint Eastwood. It would be nice to do a cameo.”
Bulloch even has some ideas for the potential storyline.
“I believe, to this day, that somewhere along the line, Boba Fett and Han Solo flew the Millennium Falcon together. Something went wrong, and they split up as a couple of friends. I always remember the line, “Boba Fett? Where?” Han wants to settle something,” he says. “I think that’s what that scene means. I think there is a respect for both of them. They respect each other. People ask, ‘If you could choose another character, who would you choose?’ And I always say Han Solo.”
I dunno, seems like it could just be two hours of fanservice. Boba Fett, while interesting in a moody, quiet way doesn’t strike me as a character you can really build a movie around.
