The Wrap is reporting that the upcoming second Star Wars Anthology film, which will now not be directed by Josh Trank, will center around the beloved character, the intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett! The report mentions that this will be an origin story seemingly focusing on the early adventures of the bounty hunter.

An origin story of sorts was told in in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and his story has expanded into the animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but there is a lot to be learned about the mysterious character. Little is known of Fett in the time between Attack of the Clones and The Empire Strikes Back so, done right, we could be in for a treat.

The film is currently looking for a new director.

The new Anthology film is expected to hit theaters in 2018. In the meantime a little film called Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18 followed by Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One on December 16, 2016, and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII on May 26, 2017.
