Walt Disney Pictures CEO Bob Iger has confirmed rumors that the studio is looking at a series of Star Wars films that will see release independent of the new trilogy and that will focus on specific characters from the overall Star Wars universe.

"There has been speculation about some stand-alone films that are in development," Iger tells CNBC. "I can confirm to you today that, in fact, we are working on a few stand-alone films. Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great 'Star Wars' characters that are not part of the overall saga. We still plan to make Episodes 7, 8, and 9, roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015. There are going to be a few other films released in that time, too."

Less than 24 hours after Walt Disney Pictures officially confirmed plans to develop stand-alone feature films in the Star Wars universe, EW is reporting that they have learned which two characters the first two projects will focus on: Boba Fett and a young Han Solo.

Plans for the Solo film call for it to take place in the time between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy. No plot details have been revealed, but it's a near-certainty that a brand new actor would have to step in to play everyone's favorite scruffy looking Nerf-herder.

:ohno

If they cast Joseph Gorden-Levitt as Han Solo I am sold on this project.

A Boba Fett film could be cool too, and we might see Darth Vader again in it.

Marvel set the template for this. Be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few years.

So what you're telling me is that we'll finally get the nine hour Jabba the Hutt Trilogy as directed by Francis Ford Coppola that we've always deserved?

I'm hoping it will be directed by Terrance Malick, but yes.;)
