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, continuing the bounty hunter’s story with a new setting and tone.
Journey to Meddan
This chapter takes readers to Meddan, a newly introduced planet in the Star Wars universe. It’s portrayed as a bustling world filled with the same kind of shady dealings and criminal undercurrents found on Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa.
Boba Fett’s Hunt
Boba Fett remains one of the most relentless bounty hunters in the galaxy. No obstacle, whether rival hunters or personal risk, stops him from completing his mission. His latest target is Samu Mavolak, a notorious fugitive famed for being nearly impossible to catch.
A Tricky Target
Samu Mavolak, a Zeltron known for his red skin, has gained his reputation by outsmarting countless pursuers. After borrowing from nearly everyone he met, he learned how to vanish just in time. Even Boba Fett was deceived briefly until the fugitive’s trickery was uncovered.
Glimpse of Humanity
Despite his ruthless efficiency, Boba Fett shows a hint of compassion toward his quarry. This fleeting moment of empathy gives the story a slight emotional shift, making readers briefly wonder if it echoes the tone of Din Djarin’s adventures.
“Boba Fett might be incredibly dangerous, but he’s not a monster.”
That moment adds a layer of humanity to the hunter, though overall, the issue reads more like a typical bounty chase than a standout Star Wars story.
Author’s Summary
The second installment of Boba Fett’s saga delivers a familiar chase with a small emotional twist, offering atmosphere but limited freshness in its storyline.
