For what purpose? We don’t know, but I suspect we’ll find out more in the upcoming Star Wars: Crimson Reign miniseries. The big reveal here is that Lady Qi’ra wants Han back after having sold the carbonite block at auction. Meanwhile, IG-88 has been defeated and destroyed by Darth Vader (in the pages of the Dark Lord of the Sith’s own ongoing comic), left in scattered pieces on a backwater junk planet.Įnter a cyborg droid technician who calls himself RB-919 (I suspect writer Rodney Barnes, best known as the producer of the 2005 sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, named this new character after himself and his own birthday), who has been sent by another bounty hunter, Deva Lompop– who has popped up in all four of these War of the Bounty Hunters one-shots– to recommission IG-88 and set him after Boba Fett. Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters – IG-88 takes place within the events of the WOTBH miniseries’ final issue, with the carbonite block containing Han Solo having been recaptured by Boba Fett and on its way aboard the Slave I to Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine. The ruthless assassin droid (first introduced in 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back) is a playable character in ILMxLAB’s Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Last Call virtual-reality game expansion, and now he’s got his own one-shot comic book from Marvel, tying in to the company’s War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event. ![]()
