Star Wars 1313 (Boba Fett Movie??)

Star Wars 1313 Secret Project is Boba Fett Movie?

Lucasfilm have registered several domain name URLs with variations on the term "Star Wars 1313″ this week, leading to speculation that George Lucas is working on a super secret new project that could be the previously talked about Boba Fett movie.

On May 2nd, Lucasfilm registered terms such as StarWars1313.com (Whois) and SW1313.com (Whois) via the brand protection agency Corporate Service Company. They now own no less than eight domains with the term, including; 1313starwars.com, 1313starwars.net, 1313sw.com, 1313sw.net, starwars1313.com, starwars1313.net, sw1313.com, and sw1313.net.

But what does Lucasfilm plan to do with all these URLs?

Well last July, Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston claimed that he was calling George Lucas constantly in the hope that he would allow him to make a spin-off Stars Wars movie based around bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Johnston would have great credentials for this to happen, of course. He worked on the Star Wars movies as a concept artist and special effects technician and he created the design for the Bounty Hunter. He is as much a George Lucas creation as a Joe Johnston one.

But what would a proposed Boba Fett movie have to do with "Star Wars 1313″?. Well Fusible have done some digging and suggest CT-1313 was once an alias that Boba Fett used on Aargau when he was confronted by a clone trooper in the Star Wars universe.

It is a vague connection, of course. But if Lucasfilm were to be working on a super secret project and wanted to get our imaginations flowing over what it could be, then isn't that the kind of link that would work for a working title?

What do you guys think.. could Boba Fett carry his own movie?

I think it could be interesting. I mean there's a lot of lore surrounding Boba Fett (which of course Lucas can ignore like he usually does) and it's all quite interesting.

I'd love to see a gritty, Star Wars/Boba movie. In fact, I'd be happy to see any new live action Star Wars we can get! :)

Wow, that is very cool, thanks for the heads up Kenny!

That would be great if they Did a Boba Fett movie. Like Joe mentioned, they have covered a lot of him in the EU, so I guess Lucas could over look that, or follow that along. For me, I would be hoping if they did something, it would be before Empire Strikes back, and maybe in those Dark times between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Most people who read EU know Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc, but I guess that if they did a movie post Jedi, it might confuse a lot who felt he died, or they would need to cover off him escaping the Sarlacc.

It would be awesome if new and original Star Wars material like this came into being! It's about time Lucas stopped flogging the same old dead horse! :)

Hmmm..and yet you gave JJ a pass on flogging a dead horse by bringing back Kahn. I knew it was a double standard with you. :)

A movie would be cool. Maybe it's some kind of special TV movie or animated special. Another likely scenario would be a Boba Fett video game. I'm up for a Joe Johnston Star Wars movie though!

Boba Fett could be a great movie! There is no way he couldn't carry his own movie! I think it would be cool to have it take place between Empire and Jedi. They could show him taking frozen Han to Jabba to get things rolling. :fettrotj

Maybe it will be for a game?

There was a pretty good Fett game on Playstation 2, called Bounty Hunter. I think you were Jango in that game, but hey, there's essentially no difference right? *(ducks for cover)
