But representatives from many of the galaxy’s most powerful factions have gathered, and they all want the same thing -- Solo. But while Star Wars bounty hunters are always needed, they're hardly a scarce commodity. From the original Star Wars trilogy, the love-them-or-hate-them prequels, and the Disney era of sequels and spinoffs, to the various animated and live-action small screen fare, Star Wars has introduced a litany of bounty hunters of all races and reputations. Some of these have proven far more memorable than others, and the below list comprises major characters headlining their own shows (like The Book of Boba Fettand The Mandalorian), as well as one-hunt-wonders fans barely remember.

LEIA ORGANA, CHEWBACCA and LANDO CALRISSIAN attempt to save HAN SOLO from the evil clutches of BOBA FETT. 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. It’s an attempt to revive the Crimson Dawn, the crime syndicate previously run by Darth Maul and — as we learn in the maligned Solo: A Star Wars Story — Qi’ra, Han Solo’s ex.

Plot summary [ ] Following the terrible events of The Rising Storm, the villainous NIHIL are in retreat, hunted by THE JEDI.Here are all the bounty hunters that feature in Star Wars' on-screen universe. From faraway hives of scum and villainy to evil dictatorships desperately pursuing pesky rebels, there's no shortage of dirty work in the world of Star Wars. Indeed, bounty hunting appears to be one of the few rewarding career opportunities in the galaxy far, far away - other than moisture farming and politics, of course. Infinitely more deadly than Star Wars' villainous Stormtroopers and feared from planet to planet, a good Star Wars bounty hunter is always in demand by hero and villain alike, and this flexibility allows each warrior to forge their own moral alignment in the gray area between good and evil. Throughout the search for HAN SOLO, DARTH VADER has carved his way through shadows, unraveling mysteries cloaked in deceptions and betrayal. Cover A Pagulayan Villanelli Blueprint October 2021 STAR WARS: WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS #5 (OF 5) • Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Variant Boba Fett clearly doesn’t take Han Solo directly to Jabba’s palace,” Soule tells StarWars.com. “Something had to happen in between that intervening time between Empire and Jedi . And I was like, ‘I would like to tell that story, and I would like it to be about Boba Fett and what happens to him.” 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?

He can’t succeed. There’s no way he can regain HAN SOLO, escape the bounties on his head, and survive to get his prize to JABBA THE HUTT and get paid. But HAN SOLO belongs to him, and no one will take him away. Alright everybody, War of the Bounty Hunters is starting in May 2021! May 5, the day after “Star Wars Day” to be exact (May the Fourth Be With You!).
