The much-awaited Star Wars spin-off movie will reportedly focus on bounty hunters.

Director Gareth Edwards’s untitled Star Wars spin-off movie will focus on a group of bounty hunters, according to the blog Slash Film, reports contactmusic.com.

The rumour suggests that the spin-off movie will be set in the ‘A New Hope’ era. It’s the event that sets in motion the path of Luke Skywalker and is considered one of the most important in the history of the Star Wars universe.

The Hollywood Reporter announced in May that the Godzilla director would be making the spin-off. “Ever since I saw Star Wars, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life — join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited and honoured to go on this mission with Lucasfilm,” said Edwards in a statement then.
