Star Wars One Shots from Kasden and Kinberg

[Yoshi]

Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed rumors that there are indeed standalone Star Wars movies in the works in addition to the next Star Wars trilogy.

In an interview with CNBC, Iger said the studio will make different Star Wars solo films during the same time frame as the new trilogy will be released.

"We are in fact working on a few stand-alone films," said Iger. "(Lawrence) Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga. So we plan to make Star Wars VII, VIII and IX over roughly a six-year period of time starting in 2015. But there are going to be a few other films released in that period of time too."

Iger would not confirm, deny or comment further on any of the Star Wars characters who might get their own standalone movies. Everyone from Yoda to Boba Fett to a Seven Samurai-style Jedi team film have been rumored as candidates for possible Star Wars spin-off movies.

Boba Fett and Yoda. They might as well start with two characters who originated in the best movie ever.

Boba didn't originate there. He was in the worst TV thing ever (although in the only watchable part of it all).

[edit]

Also, at some point down the line someone needs to adapt Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels into a movie or TV show. That was my absolute favorite series in the whole extended universe.

Supposedly Joe Johnston (the Rocketeer/Captain America guy) has had a Fett movie rattling around in his head for years, just waiting on the okay from Lucas.

[Mzo]

Just put some CG on the Rocketeer and you're done.

Come on now. You honestly think I don't know that? In terms of the movies, it's where he started. Remember you're talking to the guy who likes to pretend the EU doesn't exist for the most part.

Whar EU? There were the excellent Thrawn books and that's it.

[Scourge]

You know where the EU really shined? In the Tales books. Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina, etc. There are some great stories in those books...
