Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review: Like a filler episode

Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review

Setting and Introduction

The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red explores the planet Meddan, a new location in the Star Wars universe. Meddan is depicted as a densely populated world filled with typical shady characters and underworld dealings, reminiscent of Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa.

Plot and Characters

Boba Fett remains one of the galaxy’s most relentless bounty hunters, undeterred by credits, rival factions, or competing hunters. His current target is Samu Mavolak, a notorious man known for being extremely difficult to capture.

Samu Mavolak owes debts to nearly everyone he's met, honing his ability to evade capture.
He even manages to trick Boba Fett temporarily, although his deception is quickly uncovered.
Samu is a Zeltron, a humanoid species characterized by red skin.

Character Depth

Boba Fett might be incredibly dangerous, but he’s not a monster.

The story highlights Boba Fett’s humanity, showing compassion towards his quarry, which adds depth to his character. This momentary nuance almost shifts the story's tone, making it feel reminiscent of Din Djarin’s narrative rather than a typical bounty hunter chase.

Overall Impression

Besides this touch of humanity, the issue feels like a typical bounty hunter episode, serving more as a filler in the broader storyline.

Author’s Summary

This issue offers a glimpse of Boba Fett’s complex character amid a familiar bounty-hunting tale set on a newly introduced planet filled with underworld intrigue.
