Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed in her recent Empire interview that James Mangold was never attached to a Boba Fett story, and spoke further about the work Josh Trank did.
“There really was virtually no previous development. We never got very far with Josh, quite frankly, because we never developed anything specific with him,” Kennedy confirmed with Empire Magazine, per Star Wars News Net. “And Jim Mangold never worked on a Boba Fett story.”
There’s no issue with Mangold though, as he’s directing the upcoming as yet untitled fifth Indiana Jones film. Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett premieres on Disney+ on December 29th.
