James Mangold has spoken about how his Boba Fett film would have been much more mature in tone, and also how his approach to the material wasn’t merely repurposed for the events of The Mandalorian The Book of Boba Fett.
“At the point I was doing it, I was probably scaring the sh-t out of everyone, but I was probably making much more of a borderline-rated R spaghetti Western, single-planet spaghetti Western,” Mangold recalled to the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “The world would never be able to embrace Baby Yoda if I had made that, he didn’t really belong in the world I was envisioning. In a moment of corporate realignment after whatever happened with the Han Solo movie, they just suddenly decided they weren’t making pictures like that. I think the opportunities — streaming — presented themselves.”
He continued, “It was a beautiful period, I was just listening to Ennio Morricone all day, all night, and typing away. I’m not sure it ever would have happened, I’m not sure it was in anyone’s plans, what I was thinking about.”
