Sheds new light on the galaxy’s most infamous thieves, smugglers, bounty hunters and more

Crime in the galaxy is a constant—whether its seedy deals made on the lower levels of Coruscant or organized crime syndicates in the Outer Rim—but how galactic law enforcement has defined those crimes has shifted with each change of power.

In STAR WARS™: SCUM AND VILLAINY (October 23, 2018, EPIC INK), the misdeeds of infamous smugglers, pirates, gamblers, bounty hunters, and thieves throughout galactic history are profiled. Lifelong Star Wars™ fan, expert, and author Pablo Hidalgo explores the history of galactic crime through case reports, surveillance images, warrants, artifacts, and much more in this lavishly illustrated and in-world narrated book.
Narrated by three generations of galactic law enforcers, this collection profiles the most notorious and influential members of the underworld through stories, firsthand accounts, and an assortment of never-before-seen of warrants, wanted posters, mug shots, menus from business fronts, artifacts, and much more.

Introducing all-new details and characters, and featuring over 120 original illustrations along with a frosted plastic slip case, this collection sheds new light on the galaxy’s most notorious.
