EW reports that Disney continues to move forward with stand-alone films for both Boba Fett and a young Han Solo. They report that the Han Solo movie would take place between the events of Episode 3 and Episode IV requiring a new and substantially younger actor to take on the role Harrison Ford made so famous. Ford could still somehow make some type of appearance in it though.
For the Boba Fett movie they say it will take place either between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, or between Empire and Return of the Jedi.
Honestly, despite the fact that all of this does seem like a logical course for Disney to take, I would take anything these so-called sources tell the media with a huge grain of salt this early in the development process, as anything being honestly purposed could easily change down the road. One thing is for certain the next installment in the Star Wars saga will launch next year from director J.J Abrams and from there the sky is the limit.

"I've never been a fan of comics, I've never actually read one. I was going to for this movie but the director said it wasn't necessary. Well, actually he told us that we shouldn't do it because the plot won't be based on any history of anything already published. So I chose to follow his instructions. The one fact is I am a fan of comic book movies, so it's very exciting to be part of a movie like this."
BRING ON TRANK'S STAR WARS!
