Lucasfilm have unofficially been trying to make a Boba Fett movie happen for years. It's widely believed it was a Boba Fett - or at least a bounty hunter movie that would feature him - spin-off was the anthology movie Josh Trank was working on before he was fired, while earlier this year it was seemingly back in development, with Logan's James Mangold attached to write and direct.

However, Solo's relative box-office failure cast doubts over the future of Star Wars Stories, and it was then reported last month that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy had confirmed the Fett movie was dead.

Solo's performance knocked it off the sail barge, and Jon Favreau's in-development The Mandalorian is what then sent it tumbling into the Sarlacc, with Lucasfilm and Disney instead putting their gunslinging focus on the TV series.
