if its a single han solo/boba fett movie, that could be interesting as they both seemd to have had a history. if they are made as seperate films then this is just disney acting the part of carrion eater.

They are separate films. I'm more excited for a Boba solo film personally. Granted he's portrayed as a villain in the OT but in the scheem of things bounty hunters work for the highest bidder so in theory Boba can do some good deeds.

If they do a film on Boba hopefully they'll actually portray bounty hunters as bounty hunters, not assassins.

i think this statement offers the possibility that the han solo/boba fett/yoda film rumors are BS. oh god please be true.

"We are in development of a few standalone films," he said, "that are not part of the Star Wars saga..."
Hmmm. Everything in SW is part of SW saga, even if it doesn't involve the main characters. Is Crimson Empire and soon-to-be-deleted from continuity SW Clone Wars animated TV show Star Wars saga? KotOR is SW saga as well. Just because Luke Skywalker isn't aware of trillion of other beings that exist parallel to his existence, doesn't mean they are not of SW universe, and thus SW saga.
Are they implying that they will make "what if" movies, that are part of parallel universe? Like Spiderman movies etc.? We don't need that shit.

That's clearly not the definition of 'saga' they are using, which is following the continuity of the films and the characters within. So, no, they are not implying anything of the sort.

So no Han Solo and Chewbacca racing around in the Millenium Falcon kicking the crap out of Stormtroopers and Bounty Hunters, charming the ladies and thinking up get rich fast schemes?
as ush said, to be part of the saga means to be part of the trilogies' story. not sure if i agree that characters of the films are/aren't included in that by default. i just see the very really possibility that (please god) we will not have to see disney feed on boba/han/yoda's carcasses.
if they have no consequence toward events of the films, and its all about their own story...then technically i suppose they could be considered outside the saga. i hope that's not the case though. if it IS the case, disney worded that statement poorly.
its confusing, and i hope they make it clear soon.

He's overall a villain, so I'm not sure how portraying him as an antihero in a standalone film would come off. He's already angry from a very young age, so the good-guy-turns-bad due to circumstance (eg Vader, Magneto) probably wouldn't fly either.
I can much more see a young Han and Boba film, imo.
I would love to see a Yoda back story but then who would be the main villain? maybe a dark Jedi or 2..? prob wouldn't convert well into a movie, but a cool opportunity to explore his origins.
Definitely a Vader movie between ROS & ANH!!! I am aware there is EU novels for this period but make something new all together, if anyone could sell its Vader! CRAZY but i would be ampt if they could show mace surviving his fall and coming out to confront the dark lord as the main climax! not to leaky of a plot, well for me anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a master plan to redo the OT after 789 and some of these side projects were lead in's to that.

Why do so many people want a BACK story??? What is so fun about a movie the explains the movies you've already seen and enjoyed. I just want a good story, period, one that starts, gets me involved and takes me somewhere unknown. Back stories don't do that (you know where they go), lots of actions doesn't do that (see: Michael Bay), but good characters and good writers do.
If they do a Han Solo - Boba movie, they'd better make the very ultimate best they can, because again: we know how it ends.
And I think saying that they're not part of the saga means: no more Skywalkers. As Lucas said: that story is over.
Although... one thing I certainly wouldn't mind seeing is Mark Hamill in a Luke-version of the old mentor.
