Bounty hunters from the Clone Wars era get some love as well-young Boba’s coalition makes a comeback in Dark Disciple, Embo teams up with Aftermath’s Jas Emari a time or two, and Aura Sing earns her notorious reputation before we hear of her demise in Solo. 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.

Stories across Hidden Empire, Doctor Aphra and Han Solo & Chewbacca have all been building up the components to this threat, and appear to pay off with Dark Droids.
