Let’s enjoy both the journey and the destination. I have my fingers crossed for an interesting reveal in the future, but in the meantime we get to see the bounty hunters wreak havoc. The initial flashback was the type of scene you see early on in a movie that isn’t fully explained at first, but gets revisited and clicks with the additional scenes and information we absorb along the way. Aphra and Black Krrsantan, should make for an interesting mix both for those who already knew of them, and those who are being introduced to them for the first time. Having them front and center in the same arc, along with cameos from recently established characters like Dr. Bossk and Beilert Valance are two bounty hunters I like as well, who are also deserving of a chance to shine in the spotlight. And with how much Boba Fett contributed to the bounty hunter and Mandalorian mythos and popularity, it is great to see him racking up canon accomplishments after much of his history was erased. We rarely see the bounty hunters in canon nowadays. Before either one gets killed, Aphra informs Bossk of a bounty he would be very interested in: Nakano Lash, the traitor from the flashback. They have a very brutal fight, with Bossk using his hunting knife to great effect. Hired by Jango Fett to assassinate Senator Padm Amidala, Wesell was almost successful in her attempts on the senator's life, first in a bombing of Amidala's starship, and then with a deposit of two venomous arthropods. These two enter the bar where Bossk is, who immediately jumps at the chance to settle the usual Wookiee versus Trandoshan grudge. A shape-shifting bounty hunter, Zam Wesell is doubly dangerous, and is also a good shot. Black Krrsantan is a Wookiee bounty hunter who has worked for Jabba the Hutt alongside Boba Fett and even fought Obi-Wan Kenobi. Aphra is a recurring comic book protagonist who has notably worked for Darth Vader. 332nd Ahsokas Clone Trooper Battle Pack (75359) A New Hope Yavin 4 Rebel Base (75365) Spider Tank (75361) The Clone Wars Yodas Jedi Starfighter (75360). In other words, this confirms that the story takes place after “The Empire Strikes Back.” This is reinforced by an even bigger reveal later in the story…įor now, we are treated to an interesting cameo if you’ve been following the comics released under Disney. He vents that he should’ve been the one to capture Han Solo and Chewbacca, not Boba Fett. Valance is completing another bounty and Bossk is at a bar fuming. The main trio of hunters are all alive and well. We fast forward to the present era of this issue. Valance is in disbelief and that’s the last we see of this flashback. Fett mentions to Valance that his mentor just got them all killed surely Khamus’ father will retaliate for his son’s death. Another hunter contacts Valance and Fett to warn them that the job is botched. This causes her to kill Khamus in retaliation, setting off the underlying conflict of this story. However, Khamus pushes past her and blasts the target. We are unable to see who it is, but it makes Lash hesitate and try to save them. Once inside, the identity of their target is a shock for Lash.
