I like this premise reminds me a bit of Shadows of the Empire. Not a fan of crossovers events so I might just wait until everything is complete and collected in a single book.

Sounds interesting, but what's the deal with the yellow lightsaber that Luke is holding?.

It's from the new comics that take place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. A sort of placeholder before he builds a the green one.

War of the Bounty Hunters is a story about Boba Fett doing his thing, but it builds into something much bigger, and thats what the best comic crossovers and big stories do. They tell a great story in and of themselves, but theyre also the start of something, and they open a lot of new doors. And this story will absolutely do that, Soule toldStarWars.comin an exclusive interview.Fans will also be able to pick up a special Directors Cut version of Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1, complete with Steve McNivens mind-blowing black and white art and more incredible bonus features. Head over toStarWars.comnow for the full announcement, including a first look at interior artwork, and be there when Boba Fett fires the first shot of the WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS this May!
