Totally agree with you there, Wolf!
Yeah, in my opinion a Fett movie is a tricky proposition. While it has every potential to be awesome if done right, it could also quite easily be the complete opposite. Anyway, if they do make a Boba Fett movie, the helmet needs to stay on at all times. I may ruffle some feathers here but I want them to go back to the original concept of a mysterious, Eastwoodian man of few words and hope they just sort of forget about the prequels. To me Boba Fett will always be Jeremy Bulloch and Jason Wingreen so I'd like to see an effort to at least try to approximate the body type of the former and voice of the latter. I absolutely hated George inserting Morrison's voice in TESB and frankly didn't at all like Boba's backstory that he concocted for AOTC. Frankly, I would be totally fine if the "Boba Fett" we saw in the OT was actually a guy that had killed Jango's personal clone at some point and simply assumed the name. That would instantly wash away the AOTC backstory and bring back the mystery of the character, leaving us wondering "Who the heck is THIS guy?"
If Disney/LFL can put out a movie that makes little or no reference to the prequels and delivers a western-in-space, "Man With No Name"-type tale, with a Fett that confidently lives firmly in the "grey area" of morality and happily plays both sides when it suits him, I will be (surprised and) quite happy.
I don't really know what you guys are talking about, a cheesy "death" and AOTC already ruined anything mysterious and cool about him. I'm up for a movie where he can redeem himself on-screen and show why Vader respects him highly in ESB. And I've read a few EU stuff too but I'm strictly talking about on-screen here. I'd love to see a Dredd-like film with Boba tearing s**t up to get to his bounty.
And lack of merchandise? Boba? lol

It could NOT be worse than episodes 1-3.....
Absolutely no way on Earth that this happens (the helmet part).
If they follow through with this, Hollywood formula DEMANDS that the mask comes off for most of the movie. The audience must see the protagonist's face. One of the few exceptions that I can think of is 'V for Vendetta,' but that character 1.) has a mask that looked like a human face and 2.) is extremely talkative. Boba Fett has/is neither. The movie would also DEMAND a love interest.
While I agree this is a common formula seen in Hollywood movies, I disagree that this is such a hard and fast "rule". Not that it was a cinematic masterpiece (though I liked it), the most recent aforementioned Dredd movie did a decent job handling a "mysterious, helmeted bada$$" protagonist that managed to avoid getting tangled up in a love story. It may not be common but I think a movies with this formula are certainly possible.
According to Wikipedia, the budget for Dredd was 45 million.
The box office take? 41 million.
That's a strong indicator of what happens when you stray from the formula, these days.
Again, I'm not trying to rain on the parade, I'm just looking at the logistics of a project like this.
Yeah personally I think Dredd's lackluster performance had more to do with the lingering negative stigma of the Stallone Dredd and Dredd perhaps appealing to a more niche market rather than the fact it didn't follow the typical Hollywood formula.
