Yet the fierce battle that ensues to rescue Han will not go according to plan. Skywalker organizes a crack fighting force, including Wedge Antilles and his famous X-wing squadron Lando Calrissian and the mercenary Dash Rendar. She enlists the aid of Luke, who is sharpening his skill in the Force at Ben Kenobi's home on the edge of Tatooine's Western Dune Sea. Mourning the loss of the man she loves, Princess Leia mounts a rescue mission to free Han. While Vader and Xizor bait their trap for Luke, Han Solo is being held captive, flash-frozen in a carbonite slab. But in the meantime he will join the Dark Lord in an unholy alliance whose common target is the young Rebel hero, Luke Skywalker. To do so, he will hatch a brilliantly evil plan to discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes. He seeks to displace Darth Vader as Emperor Palpatine's right hand. His name is Xizor, Underlord of a galaxywide criminal organization called Black Sun. Whether you’re hoping to bask in Original Trilogy characters or go on an all-new adventure with a creatively crafted character (armed to the teeth, of course), one thing’s for sure: you’re in for a wild ride.

Chase down Han Solo with Zuckuss and 4-LOM. His compatriots from Episode V make interesting appearances as well. Boba Fett gets considerable attention in publishing, especially considering the longevity of the development of his character post- Return of the Jedi in Legends continuity. In this collection you’ll find stories of bounty hunters infamous and anonymous, the most notorious to some very niche characters recently added to the canon, spanning the timeline from Attack of the Clones to the Aftermath trilogy. The bounty hunters represent an exciting element of Star Wars-not Empire, Rebellion, Sith, or Jedi-somewhere out on the fringes where credits are king. When we first glimpsed Vader’s bridge of assorted villainous characters in The Empire Strikes Back, it was as if Lucas was signaling to us that the possibilities were endless when it came to the design and origin of the galaxy’s less scrupulous mercenaries.Since then, the Expanded Universe has run wild with telling tales of escapades of betrayal and high-stakes heists. Not to mention the weapons, costumes, and jet packs! Everyone loves a good bounty hunter. ![]()
