Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review: Like a filler episode
The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett: Black, White and Red has been released. Here are my impressions and experience reading it.
Setting and Atmosphere
The story takes place on Meddan, a bustling, shady planet recently introduced in Star Wars. It resembles popular underworld locations like Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa with crowded streets and dubious characters.
Character and Plot
Boba Fett, renowned as a resolute bounty hunter, is determined to capture his target, Samu Mavolak, known for being difficult to catch. Mavolak is a Zeltron— a humanoid species characterized by red skin — notorious for owing money and fleeing from everyone, even fooling Fett until his clever deception was uncovered.
Humanity of Boba Fett
Boba Fett shows compassion towards Mavolak, highlighting his humane side. For a brief moment, I thought the story was about Din Djarin, as Fett’s hunt of wanted individuals has been a common theme. This detail gives the story a slight variation from typical bounty hunter tales.
Author's summary
The issue offers a glimpse into Boba Fett’s hunt on Meddan, emphasizing his determination and humanity amid an underworld setting, with a focus on character depth rather than action.
