Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review
The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett: Black, White and Red is now available. This installment takes us to Meddan, a new planet introduced in the Star Wars universe. Meddan is a bustling world filled with shady characters and underworld dealings, reminiscent of Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa.
Plot Overview
Boba Fett, one of the most relentless bounty hunters in the galaxy, pursues his target, Samu Mavolak. Known for being exceptionally difficult to capture, Samu owes money to many and has honed his skills at evasion. He even manages to outwit Boba Fett briefly, until his clever trick is uncovered.
Boba Fett’s Character Depth
Despite his fearsome reputation, Boba Fett displays a surprising level of humanity toward his prey. At moments, the story almost feels like it could be about Din Djarin, adding a unique element to the familiar bounty hunting narrative. This personal touch adds depth to the tale beyond a typical chase.
The Target: Samu Mavolak
Samu Mavolak is a Zeltron, a species known for its distinctive red skin and humanoid features, adding a new cultural layer to the story.
“Boba Fett might be incredibly dangerous, but he’s not a monster.”
Overall, this issue feels somewhat like a filler episode but offers some fresh character moments and world-building.
Author’s Summary
This issue expands the Star Wars universe with a new planet and species, showcasing Boba Fett's complexity, though the story unfolds like a standard bounty hunting episode.
