I admit it, I'm a Fandalorian.
t:
Of all the Star Wars Universe the Mandalorians are my favourite aspect, the history, the aesthetic, the weapons, the warrior code, the ruthless nature, the overall bad-assery make them a nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Sadly though (aside from the Fetts themselves) we haven't really got the see Mandalorian culture on film, it was hinted at in 'Attack of the Clones' and we did get a few Mandalorian episodes 'Star Wars: Clone Wars' but anyone who knows anything about the Mandalorians knows that the story potential for these guys is nothing short of epic, space opera meets shakepearian historical epic meets gritty crime drama. It seems though that their appear to be no immediate plans to bring these awesome people to the big screen despite all the ideas for a Star Wars expanded universe bumping around.
Except of course for the rumoured Boba Fett spin-off film.
If done right this film (which is supposed to explore the origins of Boba Fett) could be the gateway to a whole series of Mandalorian movies, a great way to introduce these people to mainstream movie audiences.
I think that whoever they get to write this film should collaborate with Karen Travis and they should do what Peter Jackson did when making Lord of the Rings; go among the fans and get as much information as possible. bring people like the Rancor Clan to create an authentic movie that hums with that fan passion. I think to direct (if they decide to go for a big epic film) they should get someone familiar with big scoped movies; Kenneth Branagh would be my first choice (The Thor movies, Henry V), David Twohy (The Riddick films) would be good too. If we're going for a smaller rougher movie (saving a bigger one for later) I think they should go with either Walter Hill, Antoine Fuqua or David Ayer. Directors who specialise in gritty intimate films.
What do you think? Do you think a Boba Fett movie is a good idea at all? What should they do to make it great?
