Treat this story as extremely unlikely, but a rumour has surfaced online suggesting that Benicio del Toro will be playing Boba Fett’s son in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Whilst we know that the actor will definitely have a role in the forthcoming Rian Johnson flick, there’s been no official confirmation about the character he’ll play.
This new rumour, first reported by Screen Rant, was later elaborated on by YouTuber Mike Zeroh. According to Zeroh, Wikiwand’s page for del Toro included the listing for his role in The Last Jedi as ‘Sir Vicrum Fett’, which was then changed, days later, to ‘TBA’.
Remember however that Wikiwand is just a modern interface for Wikipedia so file this one firmly under rumour (or in my case ‘nuts!’). I suppose we’ll find out soon enough as The Last Jedi hit’s cinema screens in under 10 months. Don’t be placing any bets on this one though!

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
