They wanted to do something similar back in 2002, make a spin-off based on Halle Berry's character from Die Another Day.
People care about Bond Girls beyond their one movie?

Berry was a sorta-movie star back then, and you know how much they love to hype the Bond girls' independence these days.
(Also, are there really no Bond girls you'd have liked to have seen more of?)

Wasn't it Michelle Yeoh they wanted to make the spin-off with?

Forgot about her. Both at different times, I think.

Both might've been stars, but a James Bond movie without James Bond would've just been an action movie with some familiar names. There's just not enough setting witout the main character. It's the same reason why an Indiana Jones movie without Indiana Jones won't work - even if there are probably plans to give that franchise a cinematic universe as well.

(Though maybe I'm talking out of my ass seeing how I haven't seen a Bond movie in over 10 years. Maybe it's now alongside Dark Souls in terms of lore.)

Some of those women are fine as hell. Would you need an excuse to put a hot girl in a movie?

Ian Fleming actually tried to do something similar with his novel The Spy Who Loved Me. It was a Bond novel but it was written from the perspective of the girl and Bond only showed up about 3/4 of the way through. It's a good novel and it's well written but people hated it largely because of those two things.

They have continuity in the Craig films, but the sketchy kind that screams "we're making this up as we go along".

First film is good, the second one is a lame follow-up and then there are the neverending Mendes films that turn Bond all philosophical about the meaning of his life when they're not jizzing over the Connery era.

It should also be said that Fleming hated the novel so much he explicitly forbade the film producers from using any plot elements from it.

The only thing the Craig films really did right is they had just the right level of gadgets. Which is to say, barely any at all and nothing that wouldn't be used by a real agent
