It's hard to make a comic about some of the most interesting characters in Star Wars SOOOOO BORING!

** spoiler alert ** I read this in honor of May the 4th and man was I disappointed. Surface level impressions based on the cover: "fun phew-phew laser guns and badass bounty hunters fighting each other! But I wonder if the story is any good?" I really wanted to like this. But this is one of the worst star wars stories I have read. Boba Fett, Valance, Bossk and T’onga (the employer of Valance) are after a woman named Nakano Lash. The reason all the bounty hunters track Nakano Lash is retribution for the murder of the syndicate heir. However, T’onga learns it wasn’t Lash who killed her brother…it was Boba Fett. Then, Boba Fett shows up and kills her. T’onga, shot in the back and brutally depicted. Killing the single queer person of color, who also happens to be the most interesting character in the series, for the sake of a cliffhanger and Boba Fett’s dramatic entrance says a lot about our author Ethan Sacks. It also says a lot about many Star Wars fans. Look, I love Star Wars and I dig Boba Fett and Bossk. I like it when Star Wars goes dark. I love Revenge of the Sith and I love the Evil Vader scene in Rogue One. But at the end of the day, Star Wars is about hope - even if its overall story being told is bleak, there is still a sliver of hope. But sadly, this was a chaotic, disjointed, and offensive mess. And I really didn't understand Fett's motivation. Maybe that will be cleared up in Vol. 2? But I don't think I'll be reading that one.
