STAR WARS BOUNTY HUNTER FULL

Which this is a bit guilty of, though it does make sense why the focal Rebel characters are here. The universe doesn't feel as vast when everyone continueously shows up in every plot line. Cool, right?Ī good friend made a valid point recently about how the Star Wars expanded universe does tend to make everything seem overly busy and overly-connected. The main drama around Crimson Dawn also tees up a great storyline about the Hutt clan and hints that Jabba's demise in ROtJ may have left all their power up for grabs. With The Book of Boba Fett about to start, I figured this would be a fun way to get excited and spot a few details that could possibly be setting up items to be covered in the show (like will Crimson Dawn show up? Seems likely).

Fast paced and full of fun, this is a pretty epic event. Much of the drama surrounds the return of Crimson Dawn (you know, the powerful crime syndicate from Solo) now under the leadership of Qi'ra. All the familiar faces are here in a story that mostly overwrites the now not-canon Shadows of the Empire (sorry Dash Rendar fans). Taking place almost immediately following The Empire Strikes Back, War of the Bounty Hunters shows the troubled journey of Boba Fett attempting to bring Han-frozen in carbonite but briefly unthawing in order to cue up the first plotline-to Jabba. This was a lot of fun with a riviting plot that balanced out the action with the more interesting space politics that I tend to enjoy best with Star Wars.

The thing I'll most remember about this book is that Boba Fett says 'HNH' a lot. But in this graphic novel, he's willing to leave his pursuit of Luke in order to . . . attack the Hutts? None of this makes sense. If Vader thought Han was that valuable, why did he allow Fett to take him at that moment? He literally had all the key Rebels there on Cloud City. Yes, this is the Vader who allowed Fett to take Han from Cloud City. So in the midst of Qi'ra's disappointing reappearance to host an auction for Carbonite Han (after stealing him from Fett proved ridiculously easy), Vader shows up to take possession of Carbonite Han. The specific problem with this version of the story is that it was required to include all the major characters, before there was a story in which having all the major characters makes any sense. Why would we assume anything more significant happened in the meantime, and how can we invest in a conflict that can't go anywhere? There is zero tension or interest. At the beginning of Episode 6, he has done that. In the end of Episode 5, Boba Fett takes Carbonite Han and flies away to deliver him to Jabba on Tatooine. The biggest problem with trying to fill in the time between TESB and ROTJ is that the conflict is unnecessary. That was a pretty lackluster effort (who wants Dash Rendar brought into the new canon?), and this new version isn't any better. I guess it was inevitable the once Disney restarted the Star Wars canon, there would eventually have to be a new version of Shadows of the Empire. Each chapter starts with the original issue cover, then finushes with thumbnails of the varient covers. The is a big return here, I am looking forward to ehsg happens next. This leads into the next big Star Wars event. Maybe an extra issue to fit it all in (ok I am bring greedy). My only complaint of this book is it felt a bit rushed there was a lot to get through and s lot of character appearances to do as well. I think the interaction between Luke Vader is done well and fits in the continuity. Despite the power structure in yhe underworld it was great slso seeing Vader remind everyone who the top dog is, but there us a reminder in there for Vader as well.

If is always a treat to see Fett is action things hardly everyone well for his opponents. I also like that fact despite hus reputation Fett might be the elite bounty hunter but he is not the richest yet. I a glad they made Boba Fett the main character.
