Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review
Overview
The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red takes readers to Meddan, a new planet within the Star Wars universe. This setting resembles places like Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa, filled with shady characters and bustling criminal activity.
Plot and Characters
Boba Fett, one of the most relentless bounty hunters in the galaxy, pursues his target Samu Mavolak. Mavolak is a Zeltron, a humanoid species known for their red skin, and he has developed a reputation for being nearly impossible to capture.
“Nothing can prevent him from finishing the job.”
Mavolak owes money to nearly everyone he has encountered, relying on his skill in evasion to stay alive. He even manages to deceive Boba Fett—until his scheme is exposed.
Character Dynamics
Despite Fett’s dangerous reputation, his interactions show a trace of empathy toward his quarry, offering a brief glimpse of humanity. This hint of compassion gives the story a fresh nuance, momentarily reminding readers of Din Djarin’s more complex morality.
Final Thoughts
While this issue expands the Star Wars galaxy with the addition of Meddan, the story itself feels like a typical side tale. Aside from Boba Fett’s fleeting display of empathy, it reads much like any other bounty hunter story.
Author’s Summary: A visually engaging yet familiar chapter, the second issue of Boba Fett’s story blends grim determination with rare empathy, though it mostly feels like narrative filler.
