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?

Featuring an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the Emperor’s inner circle -- and the return of IG-88! LEIA ORGANA, CHEWBACCA and LANDO CALRISSIAN attempt to save HAN SOLO from the evil clutches of BOBA FETT.

Who is the UMBARAN? What is her role within the EMPIRE and in the WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS? And what happens when she emerges from the darkness to challenge Darth Vader himself? The Garkata Fighting Arena is depicted as having holographic displays surrounding its exterior, advertising the fighting matches. Many of these screens display characters and events taken from later in the issue, including Fett's fight with Wyrmen Lictor, his conversation with the Yarkora, and the death of Bigbot. Other holograms reuse art from Star Wars Legends sources, including images of a Nosaurian from The New Essential Guide to Alien Species [3] and a Shistavanen from the Balance of the Force expansion of Star Wars: The Card Game.

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. 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.
