Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review
The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett: Black, White and Red is now available. This installment takes us to Meddan, a densely populated world filled with shady figures and underworld activity, similar to Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa.
Setting and Plot
Meddan is introduced for the first time in the Star Wars universe, depicting a typical hub of criminal dealings. Boba Fett, known as one of the most relentless bounty hunters across the galaxy, is on a mission to capture Samu Mavolak, a man infamous for being nearly impossible to catch.
The Hunt for Samu Mavolak
Samu has developed exceptional skills in evading capture, partly by tricking even Boba Fett himself—until his clever deception was uncovered. Despite Boba Fett's fearsome reputation, he displays a rare humanity in his pursuit of Samu, showing empathy toward his target.
"Boba Fett might be incredibly dangerous, but he’s not a monster."
This moment adds a unique dimension to the story, making it feel somewhat different from the typical tales of bounty hunting. For a brief moment, the narrative evokes thoughts of Din Djarin rather than Boba Fett.
Character Insight
Sam Mavolak belongs to the Zeltron species, characterized by their red skin and humanoid appearance. His history includes owing debts to many and a reputation for elusiveness.
"After owing money to every person who has ever met him, he developed the skill of running away from everyone."
Summary
This issue delivers a classic bounty hunting story with a subtle touch of humanity, set against the richly detailed backdrop of Meddan’s underworld.
