Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters (Shakespeare in the Catskills Mystery)

Product Information

War of the Bounty Hunter also indulges in referential moments that come straight from superhero comics (or perhaps Avengers movies) that will hit like dopamine for Star Wars fans susceptible to #lore.

The cloaked crime lord explains that Han is connected to every part of the Star Wars universe — from the Rebel Alliance to the Empire to the Hutts to Dengar and Valance of Bounty Hunters to Doctor Aphra, who we see getting chills at the idea of a Crimson Dawn revival. Capturing the smuggler and snuffing out Boba Fett becomes vital to the organization’s future. And who is the hidden baddie? Qi’ra herself!

Charles Soule tells StarWars.com all about the upcoming crossover event starring the legendary bounty hunter.

Which of STARLIGHT BEACON’S number have joined the Nihil Horde? And how far will they turn from the light? In fact, while it may make good on the promise of a big Boba Fett adventure, War of the Bounty Hunters #1 (the first of five issues) made me more excited about the return of a completely different character, and a moment in Star Wars that I figured no creator would ever want to return to. That has its own thrills. Who is making War of the Bounty Hunters?

For War of the Bounty Hunters, the main story is told in the miniseries of the same name. Then, existing Star Wars Comics (Star Wars, Darth Vader, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, and Doctor Aphra) and some one-shots tell side stories that relate to what’s happening in the main tale. Everything and everyone in the galaxy is against bounty hunter BOBA FETT, from Sith Lords to Hutt rulers to the mysterious CRIMSON DAWN. War of the Bounty Hunters will be the biggest Star Wars story Marvel has told thus far. And while he can’t say much, Soule promises it will have an impact. LEIA ORGANA, CHEWBACCA and LANDO CALRISSIAN attempt to save HAN SOLO from the evil clutches of BOBA FETT. Connecting all the dots in a universe can constrict storytelling (see: Rise of Skywalker). But War of the Bounty Hunter proclaimed itself a crossover event, so crossover it will. Soule cleverly weaves in some High Republic history into a conversation between scheming Hutts, but the real “Oh, really?” moment comes at the tail end of the book, when our unnamed villain explains why capturing Han Solo is more than just a power-grab move. It’s an attempt to revive the Crimson Dawn, the crime syndicate previously run by Darth Maul and — as we learn in the maligned Solo: A Star Wars Story — Qi’ra, Han Solo’s ex.War of the Bounty Hunters is structured similar to how Marvel does many of their big events, such as Civil War or Secret Invasion. There’s a miniseries that tells the main story and then auxiliary issues that tie-into the events of that story.

You don’t have to read all of the tie-ins if you don’t want to. You’ll get a full story if you read War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha and War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1-5. After that, it’s up to you as to which tie-ins you decide to read. Media [ ] Editions [ ] This in-universe list is incomplete. You can help Wookieepedia by expanding it. He can’t succeed. There’s no way he can regain HAN SOLO, escape the bounties on his head, and survive to get his prize to JABBA THE HUTT and get paid. But HAN SOLO belongs to him, and no one will take him away.

Boba Fett’s mysterious presence wormed its way into the minds of young Star Wars viewers, becoming a staple of the cosplay community and a point of obsession for creatives who eventually cozied up with Lucasfilm. When Disney bought George Lucas’ company and it was clear there would be many, many more Star Wars stories coming to screens, a Boba Fett movie was a no-brainer. Fantastic Four director John Trank nearly made one, until Fantastic Four happened. Logan director James Mangold took on the job a few years later, before Lucasfilm switched gears to develop The Mandalorian. That show could have replaced Boba fever entirely ... but in season 2, creator Jon Favreau reintroduced the character as a tee-up to a spinoff series. Everyone wants more Boba Fett in Star Wars, despite his popularity hinging on brooding silence and shadowy operations.
