Week In Geek: Matt Bomer Plays Superman, The Holograms Join Jem, Young Han Solo and More

The Sexy Scoundrels of Star Wars Are Going Solo

This week, the Walt Disney Co. revealed plans to make a number of spin-off movies set in the Star Wars universe in addition the upcoming new trilogy. The first two projects currently being evaluated are films based on the fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett and a young Han Solo saga—which could spawn a trilogy of its own. Little more is known about the spin-offs at this time, but the possibility of a movie based on the early days of our favorite wisecracking smuggler from a galaxy far, far away has the geek-osphere already playing guessing games with who should step into Harrison Ford’s boots. Personally, I think an unknown actor would be the best choice, but Newsarama has posted an interesting top 10 list of potential casting candidates that’s worth checking out.
