One of the most common of these tropes is with subplots between Han Solo and Boba Fett.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, when <i>Entertainment Weekly<\/i> ran a sneak peek at <i>\u201cStar Wars\u201d #2<\/i>, I was excited to see Boba Fett would be introduced in this title \u2013 but, I was also wary from the fact it appeared to be the same story we\u2019ve seen too many times \u2013 Boba Fett chases Han Solo, the smuggler escapes, Boba Fett catches up, and the smuggler once again escapes. No payoff, no consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Although the subplot was dragged out, the appearance of Bossk as Boba Fett\u2019s partner gave me hope there\u2019d be more to the confrontation. I was very interested in seeing how the two bounty hunters hooked up, and wanted to see an altercation that would shed light into Han Solo\u2019s reaction to the bounty hunter in <i>Empire Strikes Back<\/i> and <i>Return of the Jedi.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to see the relationship explained between Boba Fett and Bossk. Something had to have happened to explain why they worked together to hunt down Solo after the Battle of Yavin, but they worked apart during <i>Empire<\/i>. What was the falling out?<\/p>\n<p>However, we got none of this. In <i>\u201cStar Wars\u201d #10<\/i>, we receive a gripping illustration of Boba Fett clinging to the <i>Millennium Falcon<\/i> in a last ditch effort to claim his prize. The Falcon crew loses their \u201cextra cargo\u201d upon leaving the planet\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2411\" alt=\"swars10p1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/swars10p1-340x179.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/swars10p1-340x179.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/swars10p1.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In one of the last panels of the confrontation, Perla says, \u201cYou two can continue this another time,\u201d which is almost funny if the trope wasn\u2019t so tired. Is this a nod from writer Brian Wood that he understands how many times we\u2019ve seen this same story unfold?<\/p>\n<p>While I love seeing Boba Fett in comics, when nothing new or original is shown through the story, I feel it just makes the story flat and one dimensional.<\/p>\n<p>What did you think of the way Han Solo and Boba Fett&#8217;s confrontation played out?
