Star Wars‘ iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett has long been rumoured for a solo film spinning off from JJ Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII, but apparently work is already underway.

Speaking to AMC Movie Talk about the Star Wars spin-offs, Metalocalypse and Venture Bros director Jon Schnepp confirmed, “One of them is Boba Fett. It is. I know. I know for a fact. I will never reveal my source, but it is the one written by Lawrence Kasdan.”

Kasdan – who co-wrote Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Star Wars: Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi – is currently rewriting Michael Arndt’s script for Episode VII.

Star Wars: Episode VII is due in cinemas 18 December 2015. You can buy Star Wars: The Complete Saga for £57.99 on Blu-ray from Amazon.co.uk.
