9 Star Wars Spin-Offs That Should Be Next

9. Boba Fett

Everyone's favorite bounty hunter has so much potential for a spin-off that it's honestly a bit surprising one has yet to be greenlit. First off, his design is iconic in and of itself. But secondly and more importantly, he's a mostly uncharted character.

He was in the original trilogy but never exactly a major player in those films, with the contest for his biggest moment being a hard tie between whining to Vader and being knocked into the Sarlacc pit by a blind Han Solo. If anything, the character was more fleshed out in the prequel trilogy. Audiences got to see the full capabilities of his suit, through Jango Fett's use of it and got a tease at what life must have been like for a growing Boba.

A spin-off could go in any direction, chronicling his adolescence between those two trilogies or telling a story more directly set within the original trilogy. And Boba himself is such a blank canvas that there is all kinds of room for creative characterization and growth. So much so that a great spin-off film could retroactively improve his role in the original trilogy, lending greater credence and understanding to his motivations.
